b.
Once pumping assembly has been positioned and secured, connect suction and discharge hoses as follows:
CAUTION
Use of petrolatum preservative (Type 14, MIL-C-10382C) can cause irreversible damage to water pump
membranes. Pumps that have been preserved must be thoroughly rinsed prior to being used in
conjunction with ROWUPs to prevent damage.
NOTE
When installing suction and discharge lines, keep lines as straight as possible to keep friction losses at a
minimum. Fittings in pipe lines increase friction losses considerably. When necessary to use elbows, use
long-radius type to minimize friction loss.
