weather conditions. Pump should be located on a level, hard surface to prevent shifting or tipping. Locate to be readily accessible for inspection and maintenance.
Careful attention should be taken to assure that Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) exceeds Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR) by the pump or reduced performance and severe pump damage may result.
Figure 1, Page 3, illustrates where these terms (NPSHA
/NPSHR) originate, and how to determine if the pumping conditions at which you want to operate meet the proper criteria. When in doubt, consult your nearest Berkeley Professional Dealer.
NOTE: If pump site is 1000 feet above sea level, sub- tract 1.2 feet from the NPSHA equation and an ad- ditional 1.2 feet for each additional 1000 feet of eleva- tion.
