FW Pumps Manual
Wilo Mather and Platt is very grateful for your interest in its products. The basic objective of this
document is to provide instructions for maintaining and operating Wilo Mather and Platt Horizontal
Split Case pumps. Instructions are complied for the person having a working knowledge of
Horizontal Split case pumps and the pumps shall be installed under expert supervision and
guidance.
With this document Wilo Mather and Platt does not accept any liability for inaccurate installation,
operation or maintenance of the product at site. The authorities that install and maintain the pump
shall be responsible for hassle free installation operation or maintenance of the product.
This document is prepared with at most care to ensure correct and accurate information, enabling
the user to have trouble free installation and operational support. However, there can be few areas
for improvement to make this document error free.
We welcome your valuable suggestions to make this document complete in all respects.

7.2.4 Pipe work
No stress must be imposed on the pump casing by
the pipe work; neither by the wei ght of the pipes
nor by the tight ening of badly fitting pipes
(figure 6). All pipe worked attached to the pump
must be fully supported and the mating faces of
the pipe flanges must be parallel and all bolt holes
coincidi ng with each other. (see tabl e of maximum
forces on flanges) It is important ,therefore, that
alignment of the pump and motor should be re-
checked after the pipes are fi nall y fitted. R eset- Avoid stress on the pump casing

ting or supporting the pipes must correct any
deviation in the al i gnment.
For difficult pumping on the suction side, to stabi-
lise the flow, a pipe length 15 times the diameter
of the suction branch should be installed before
the suction branch.
• The flow rate i n t he suction line or inflow line must
not exceed 2 - 3 m/s.
• Pipe velocity may need to be reduced further to
satisfy pump NPSH requi rements and to control
suction pipe losses (refer figure 6).
