Pump suction lines shall be as short as possible, without pockets and with adequate
flexibility. Piping should be self venting and self draining to the suction source where
possible.
Eccentric reducers shall be used in horizontal suction lines, installed top flat.
Pump piping shall be arranged and supported such that pumps, permanent strainers,
temporary strainers and pump internals can be easily dismantled or removed.
Temporary strainers shall be located close to the pump nozzle. Removable spool
shall be installed for conical strainers. Permanent strainers shall be located to permit
servicing without disturbing pump alignment. Y type and basket strainer
arrangement shall permit installation and operation of a blowdown/drain valve and
