BB5 pump with side suction and side discharge?
BB5 pump with side suction and side discharge?
(OP)
For a BB5 (Barrel type) is it possible to have a side suction and side discharge nozzles instead of a top suction top discharge.
If possible are there any limitations or concerns that needs to be taken care.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

I have designed BB5 pumps with 45 deg suction nozzles (and one time a bottom suction nozzle) for power station boiler feed.
OTOH I've done plenty of side-side BB2 pumps so why not try a BB5 ?
