The INTELLIFLO® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide says:
- It is recommended that a valve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line should be no closer to the front of the pump than ve (5) times the suction line pipe diameter. See Figure 2.
A 2 inch pipe requires a 10 inch (254 mm) straight run in front of the suction inlet of the pump). This will help the pump prime faster and last longer.
Her'e how my local pool service installed it. Is that close enough??
