The pump should be accessible for inspection and repair work, so headroom must be provided for the use of a hoist or tackle if necessary. When installing the pump, it should be lifted by slinging through motor eye bolts and securing through the pump adapter. The pump must always be supported, and for pumps with larger motors, they should be attached to support utilizing the tapped hole or holes in the bottom of the pump casing. It is important to note that piping loads should not be applied to the pump. The pump must be allowed to move with piping movement, and suitable devices should be employed to account for expansion of piping. The pump should not be rigidly connected to the floor, and vibration isolation pads should be provided under floor-mounted supports. It is recommended to follow local electrical and safety codes for installation, including using appropriate size wire, suitable overcurrent protection, and a lockable isolator or circuit breaker. Additionally, it is recommended to fit the pump with a suitable "emergency stop" per the requirements of applicable electrical codes.
