FITTINGS AND VALVES
1. Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet.
2. Flooded suction systems should have gate valves
installed on suction and discharge pipes for main-
tenance, however, the suction gate valve should
be no closer than five times the suction pipe di-
ameter as described in this section.
3. Use a check valve (non-return valve) in the dis-
charge line when using this pump for any appli-

plumbing after the pump.
4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in
parallel with another pump. This helps prevent
reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.
