If the pipe tapers, the pipe must slope downwards toward the
pump. Place a shut-off valve between the float chamber and MP to
prevent overpressure on the MP.

Make sure that the liquid intake will remain sufficiently submerged
beneath the liquid surface so no air will be drawn in even when the
liquid is at its lowest level.
Make sure the length of the pipe between a bend and the pump is
at least four times the diameter of the pipe, especially when there
is little margin between the available and required NPSH. A

bend prevents the smooth inflow of liquid to the pump impeller and
can have a negative impact on the suction conditions.
For liquids with a low viscosity, either install a foot valve with a
diameter equal to or greater than that of the suction valve or install
the piping without a foot valve in a U-configuration (see

Do not install a foot valve when pumping high viscosity liquids. The
foot valve causes extra pipe losses.
To eliminate any air or gases present in the pump or suction pipe,
the pressure pipe can be fitted with a bypass line. The use of a
bypass line will eliminate air from the pump more quickly. See also
‘Pressure pipe’.
In some situations the temperature of the liquid may be so high
that the pump requires pre-pressure relative to the NPSH in the
line (see technical specifications BA series).
Pressure pipe
WARNING
Prevent sudden closure of the pressure pipe that would cause water
hammer.
Suction strainer
When pumping polluted liquid or liquid that may contain solid particles,
install a suction strainer in the suction opening.
Failure to follow the guidelines for the placement and installation of the pump unit can result in danger to the
user and/or severe damage to the pump or pump unit. BBA Pumps is not responsible for accidents and damage
