Suction piping for a VIL pump
Suction piping for a VIL pump
(OP)
NFPA 20 2007 ed. 5.14.6.3.1 Unless the requirements of 5.14.6.3.2 are met, elbows and tees with a centerline plane parallel to a horizontal split case pump shaft shall not be permitted.
I always took this to mean centrifugal pumps in general. Does this mean that the requirement does not apply to VIL's? Does it fall into the same category as the air release not being required for an overhung impeller?
Thanks in advance.
