need a 3d drawing showing different elevation for the suction and discharge side of a fire pump

need a 3d drawing showing different elevation for the suction and discharge side of a fire pump

(OP)
Basically,
A fellow designer states he cannot abide by the 10D rule (from NFPA 20 10x pipe diameter)since the suction and discharge piping outlets are at different elevations. This is a fire pump replacement project and the outlets for supply from water source and for discharge into facility are permanent. Thanks. I have shown him diagrams from NFPA 20, but he still concedes it cant be done. If anyone has a 3D drawing showing the 10D rule where suction and discharge are at different elevations, it would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tim

RE: need a 3d drawing showing different elevation for the suction and discharge side of a fire pump

What do You mean, it has nothing to do with the discharge, can You provide a sketch, is there too little space?
Sometimes a little less than 10d is also sufficient.
