I’m routing 12” or larger piping to (2) double suction pumps with 10” nozzle and a top/top configurations. I also have control valve, basket strainer and the block valves immediately upstream of the suction nozzle and running the suction piping perpendicular to the pump shaft centerline...
This is on a vessel platform and I need to design access to get around a pipe to get a flange. I was going to use 18" since this is at the end of the platform and would not normally used for access.
