10 SERIES OM-00714 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION - SECTION B Since pump installations are seldom identical, this section offers only general recommendations and practices required to inspect, position, and arrange the pump and piping. Most of the information pertains to a standard static lift application where the pump is positioned above the free level of liquid to be pumped.
