SYSTEM CHECKS CORRECT SUCTION PIPING PRACTICES FOLLOWED

  Suction pipe at least one commercial pipe size larger than
 Close as possible to pump’s BEP (80-120%) pump suction
 Read pump installation & owner’s manual  Velocity not to exceed 8 ft./sec.
 Proper horsepower 
 Speed pipe diameter
 Voltage  Avoid long suction pipe run
 Phase  Eccentric reducer used for pipe size transition with straight side up
  No air leaks in piping
 Rotates freely  High spots avoided
  Foot valve or suction screen not obstructed/blocked or stuck
 No obstruction/blockage/damage with impeller 
 Packing adjusted per instructions from bottom
 Adequate water supply  Standard or long radius elbows used/not directly in front of
 Adequate NPSHA (must exceed NPSHR) pump inlet
 Pump as near water source as possible  Suction gauge installed not less that 18" from pump inlet port
 Pump primed/do not allow pump to run dry  Pipe supported as required

MOTOR/ELECTRICAL
CORRECT DISCHARGE PIPING PRACTICES FOLLOWED
