16. sure the suction and discharge piping properly aligns Plumbing General The site contractor must supply the use of necessary pipe hangers or other piping supports Both the suction and discharge piping must be independently supported and properly aligned to ensure no strain is transmitted to the pump when connections are tightened The use of expansion joints or vibration pads does not preclude the need to properly support the piping NOTE Do not support the piping by the pump Do not force piping when making connections Suction Inlet Piping The correct sizing and installation of the suction plumbing is particularly important The suction piping must be selected and installed in such a manner that it minimizes pressure losses and allows for sufficient flow during starting and operation Most NPSH problems can be traced directly to improper design of suction piping systems It is recommended that the piping be as direct as possible and the length should be at least 10 times the diameter of the pipe When a pipe diameter larger than the suction of the pump is used an eccentric reducer should be used with the eccentric side down This will allow for the elimination of a potential air pocket in the suction plumbing NOTE A pipe diameter smaller than the suction of the pump must never be used It is also recommended that a valve be installed in the suction piping to isolate the pump during routine maintenance and shutdown A g
