Pipelines must not cause excessive me-
chanical stress on pump suction or de-
livery with excessive loads and torque
values.
if flexible hoses are used, fit a semi-rigid
pipe on suction to avoid the risk of shrink-
age due to negative pressure on suction.
it is recommended to fit a filter on the in-
let of the suction pipeline where the pump
is used for pumping water from a well or
tank used for the recovery of rain water.
Periodically check the condition
of the filter and regularly clean
or replace this element.
FP/Multi EVO must be installed
as shown in Figure 6; ensure that
the water column between the
point of use and the electronic device is
less than 15m
the pump is installed with positive suc-
tion head when it is located below the liq-
uid in suction. Figure 1

the pump is installed with negative suc-
tion head when it is located above the liq-
uid to be received. Figure 2 ( or Figure 3

Correct pump installation is essential to
ensure priming.
• Position the pump in the vicinity of
the well or tank to ensure that the
suction pipe is as short as possible. in
this way, the priming time is reduced,
above all in the case of large differ-
ences in height between the liquid and
suction point.
• use a pipeline that is at least the
same diameter as that of the pump
suction port. if the difference between
the liquid and suction point is more
than 4 meters, use a pipeline with a
larger section;
• to avoid the formation of air vortexes,
immerse the suction pipe by at least
0.5m in the liquid to be pumped (Fig-
ure 2, Figure 3 H1>=0.5m);
• install a foot valve with filter at the
end of the suction pipe ( Figure 2) or
check valve on the suction port in the
case of self-priming pumps (Figure 3)
• Ensure complete sealing of the suc-
tion pipe;
• use wide bends on the suction sec-
tion;
in the case of self-priming pumps ensure
that the minimum height H3 (between the
center of the suction port and the check
valve) or H4 (between the center of the
suction port and first point of use) in the
table1 are observed to guarantee suction
height H2 (Figure 3).
