Pump Suction Barrel (Type 1)
General Notes:
1. Applications with flows greater than or equal to 3,000 GPM at normal operating conditions require a minimum of two flow straightening vanes centered on the inlet to the barrel and extending to the max. Water level or top of the barrel.
2. For applications without a basket type vortex suppressor having a solid bottom, vanes should extend across barrel bottom and an additional vane across barrel bottom at 90 degrees to other vane.
3. For barrels with inside dimensions physically too small to weld vanes to barrel I.D., attach vanes to pump.
4. We recommend a good basket type vortex suppressor on all barrel applications regardless of size or flow conditions.
5. Minimum five (5) X D pipe diameters straight run at suction inlet.
6. Velocity between barrel and pump should be less than 5 FPS.
Specific Notes:
A. Inlet velocity less than 4 ft/sec. vertical splitter place recommended in suction nozzle.

Pump Suction Barrel (Type 3)
General Notes:
1. FOR BARRELS WITH INSIDE DIMENSIONS PHYSICALLY TOO SMALL TO WELD VANES TO BARREL I.D., ATTACH VANES TO PUMP.
2. WE RECOMMEND A GOOD BASKET TYPE VORTEX SUPPRESSOR ON ALL BARREL APPLICATIONS REGARDLESS OF SIZE OR FLOW CONDITIONS.
3. MINIMUM FIVE (5) X d1 PIPE DIAMETERS STRAIGHT RUN AT ALL SUCTION INLETS.
4. APPLICATIONS WITH FLOWS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 3,000 GPM AT NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF TWO FLOW STRAIGHTENING VANES CENTERED ON THE INLET TO THE BARREL AND EXTENDING FROM BARREL BOTTOM TO THE MAX. WATER LEVEL OR TOP OF THE BARREL.
5. FOR APPLICATIONS WITHOUT A BASKET TYPE VORTEX SUPPRESSOR HAVING A SOLID BOTTOM, VANES SHOULD EXTEND ACROSS BARREL BOTTOM AND AN ADDITIONAL VANE ACROSS BARREL BOTTOM AT 90 DEGREES TO OTHER VANE.
Specific Notes:
A. INLET VELOCITY LESS THAN 4 FT/SEC. VERTICAL SPLITTER PLATE RECOMMENDED IN SUCTION NOZZLE.
B. CAUTION: SOME SUCTION BELL BEARINGS PROTRUDE BELOW BELL.
C. FLOW VELOCITY BETWEEN PUMP O.D. AND BARREL I.D. SHOULD BE LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 5 FT/SEC.
