SITE/FOUNDATION
A pump should be located near the supply of liquid
and have adequate space for operation,
maintenance, and inspection.
Baseplate mounted pumps are normally grouted on a
concrete foundation, which has been poured on a
solid footing. The foundation must be able to absorb
any vibration and to form a permanent, rigid support
for the pumping unit.

The location and size of the foundation bolts are
shown on outline assembly drawing, provided with the
pump data package.
Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type
(Fig. 4A) and J type (Fig. 48). Both designs permit
movement for final bolt adjustment.
