Optimizing the Stack Configuration

 

If your quaternary pump is part of a complete 1100 Series system, you can

 

ensure optimum performance by limiting the configuration of the system

 

stack to the following configuration. This configuration optimizes the system

 

flow path, ensuring minimum delay volume.
