NOTE: Large In-Line pumps can deliver up to 158 L per second 2500 gpm and 38 m 125
ft head at 1750 rpm. The use of large In-Line pumps is discouraged due to difficulty
in providing routine servicing and repair. Large in-line pumps including motor
can be more expensive than the preferred base-mounted, flexible coupled end
suction pumps. In some cases floor space is limited so large in-line pumps may
need to be used. Large In-Line pumps come in two basic configurations - split coupled
and close coupled. Split coupled configuration allows mechanical seal maintenance
without disturbing the pump or motor. However, split coupled pumps only allow
the motor shaft to be oriented vertically with motor shaft down. Close coupled
pumps may be mounted with the motor shaft vertical or horizontal but do not
allow mechanical seal maintenance without disturbing the pump or motor.
When mounted horizontally, it is critical that adequate support be provided to
avoid strain on pump parts and piping.
