Can the suction pipe have bends in it or does it have to be straight up to the Basepump?

This should work: http://www.basepump.com/assets/Uploads/documents/Basepump/Installation-Basepump-2014-11.pdf?

I have two 45 deg elbows in mine and it works flawlessly. Saved my basement from flooding a couple of times when my main sump pump couldn't keep up.

i think it can have bends but you should call Basepump because they have a great customer service function and they can answer all your technical questions.

This is a suction type pump all of the pump is in the part you see in the picture, This pump is made to pump out of shallow aquifers or out of a water storage system, that is under it. If your asking about horizontal, a pipe could most likely be 5 miles long horizontaly level, and if it was full of water NO AIR in it and the rise was not more than 20 feet it would probably pump out of it with out problems. to the pump for the most part all it is seeing is the height or the distance/depth to water, (a check valve/foot valve, should be used to keep the suction pipe full, The pump will only pump water out of the spout of the pump, as there is no seal or way of attaching a pipe to the pump to pump above the unit,

No. This will not bend conduit / hollow metal pipe. It will only bend solid metal.

I haven't had any problems with mine, it does slightly bend with more pressure but it does fine for me.

No, it does not bend. I ended up returning it because it leaked. I am looking for a better quality product.

Not without a bending tool. I wanted to fit the coil in a standard 5 gallon igloo water cooler and it barely fit, it will kink the line if you apply pressure, hope this helps

Yes, there is supposed to be a flat side to the tip. We have ordered two of these and both times they came that way. We are really pleased with this pump, it does a great job! Enjoy

The hose has to twist allowing the swivel on the wand to turn the hose parallel to floor. No different than any canister vac

no there is no base, it is supported by the plumbing. Mine is around an inch off the ground and I have installed a cut off on either side to kill the flow when i refill it. if it is a short distance it will not effect the unit however one could place it on the ground or on a brick or stone for support.

Yes,This has a slight bending ability. But not enough to bend on a curve. Bending might break the seal inside. Contact the manufacturer for these type of questions.

It can. They suggest level with the inlet so when the barrel is full it overflows into the hose and out of the gutter instead of out of the top of your barrel. Above within an inch or two, and as long as it is not so far above the inlet to the barrel that it pinches the hose is fine.

The container we have must be much like yours; the neck is less than a half inch high. We have had no problem. The threads on the pump go all the way to the open end.

Yes. In shallower water you have to prime it first. Just tip to the water line (on the vacuum) it until in starts, then you can use it at any angle.

We have this item on a slant coming from the pipe on the wall. It has a universal compression fitting it comes with. Make sure the water is off to a just the head or it can come off.

You can adjust the flow from a mild reduction all the way down to completely off. It holds in any possition without moving. The only negative thing was that the rubber seal built in didn't work right but a little plumbers tape solved that problem.

The pump works fine going to a condensate drain from the AC, but I have not used the gravity drain feature. The drain tube for mine does not lie flat either.

None for the gravity flow... It's made for that connection... It's a different connection for the pump, but the necessary hose is included with the dehumidifier....
