Can a series 4280 close-coupled end-suction pump be mounted vertically?

Series 4280 units may be mounted with the shaft in the vertical position up to 20 hp. Mounting Series 4280 in this configuration ensures that the seal is the highest point in the pump, so a seal flush/vent line from the seal area to the pump suction is required. An ODP enclosure motor may need a drip-cover when installed vertically.
