    The suction line must have a diameter equal to that of the pump suction port (for diameters greater than that of the pump port, consult Varisco). If possible, avoid curves, elbows and constrictions which can limit the flow of liquid to the pump. Do not install a foot valve: the pump has a non return valve (14) incorporated in the suction port (fig.

  • Page 12 38 Flushed seal before starting up the pump, connect the flushing hole in the seal area to the flushing liquid line with a pressure of at least 2 bar. Ensure before starting the pump and during operation that there is a constant flow of flushing liquid in the seal. Flushing ensures that the liquid will be diluted in the seal area to allow the seal to operate under the best possible conditions.
