    We are trying to properly size the sump for a vertical turbine pump taking suction from a pond. The sump will have a straight channel approach. NFPA 20 states that the sump should be sized in accordance with the Hydraulics Institute Standards for Centrifugal, Rotary, and Reciprocating Pumps...

    Sprinklers over electric panels

    As a sprinkler guy, I was always told to keep lines 3 feet away from electric panels and never be directly overhead, but I seem to recall reading something lately that specified distances above and away that lines could be. Something like 6 feet or more above is acceptable? Can anyone...
