STA-RITE DURA-GLAS II P4RA Series Owner's Manual page 5

Piping:
Use at least 2" IPS PVC (51mm) pipe. Increase size if a long run is needed.
To avoid strains on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes inde-
pendently. Place these supports near the pump.
To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the
pump and run pipe away from the pump.
Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connection.
To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward toward the pump.
NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for service, all flooded
suction systems must have gate valves in suction and discharge pipes.
Pump suction port should be the highest point in the suction line.
Fittings:
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Pool fittings must conform to International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.
Use only non-entrapping suction fittings or dual suction outlets installed at
least 3' (1M) apart.
