3.1 Technical and operational characteristics
The pumps described in this manual have one or more hydraulically balanced centrifugal impellers installed in series, with clockwise rotation
direction viewed from the shaft projecting side (see arrow on delivery casing). The delivery port is radial and vertical while the suction port is
radial and points towards the right in relation to the shaft projection. The pumps have a shaft carried by grease lubricated rolling bearings and
can be connected to an electric motor or internal combustion engine by means of a coupling or transmission shaft.
Where possible, specially outfitted pumps can be supplied on request:
- with suction port pointing upwards (...L...);
- with suction port pointing towards the left (...M...);
