How should the first support at the pump inlet be installed?
Thread Content
Specific questions: 1. What are the requirements regarding the distance between the first bracket and the pump outlet? (Is it better to have it closer, or further away?) 2. Is it necessary to use an adjustable bracket? 3. Is it necessary to install it on the straight pipe at the inlet? Can it be installed on a elbow? Everyone is welcome to discuss……
The straight pipe installed on the bracket serves as an expansion element; with supports in place, it loses its function. It should not be placed too close – the pump inlet has a drain port, and being too close hinders operation. If it is placed too far away, there is excessive swinging. The pump inlet flange is a cast part and is prone to damage
