Coupling Guard
Adjustable leg base, commonly used for sanitary pumps. For washdown
under base. Can be easily moved or repositioned.
Coupling Guard
Portable bases, for movement to different locations.
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, do not install or service pump
unless all power is off and locked out.
GOOD PIPING
PRACTICE
All piping to the pump should be supported independently to minimize the
forces exerted on the pump. Such forces can cause misalignment of pump
parts and lead to excessive wear of rotors, bearings and shafts.
Piping support
Weight of piping and fluid — support piping independently with hangers or
pedestals.
Thermal expansion of piping — can cause tremendous forces. Use thermal
expansion joints to minimize forces on pump.
Flexible joints can also be used to limit the transmission of mechanical
vibration. Anchor free ends of any flexible hose in system.
Piping Layout
Inlet side — slope piping up to inlet to avoid air pocket.
Inlet side — use check valves to keep inlet line full particularly with low
viscosity fluids, and in start-stop operation.
