ü The diameter of the suction line matches the diameter of the suction nozzle.

ü The suction line is absolutely tight and laid as short and straight as possible.

1. Thoroughly clean, flush and blow through all vessels, pipelines and connections

(especially of new installations).

2. Seal all pipe connections by means of suitable material (e.g. Teflon tape).

Make sure the first threaded ring remains free to ensure that the connections

can be screwed on correctly.

3. Moderately tighten the piping, observing a maximum tightening torque of 50

Nm.
