Suction piping is at least the same diameter as the pump connections.
The length of suction piping is kept to the absolute minimum.
The minimum number of bends, tees and pipework restrictions are used.
Calculations to determine system NPSHa are carried out for the worst

Should advise on pump or system NPSH characteristics be required then
contact the factory or their authorised distributor.
