Tuesday Tip: Understanding Mounting Options
Choosing a mounting style isn’t cosmetic—it determines footprint, ease of maintenance, alignment, and total installed cost. Cornell offers multiple configurations (close-coupled, frame-mounted, vertical variants, engine-mounted, and Redi-Prime packages), each optimized for different site constraints and duty points. This Tuesday Tip gives you a quick, plain-English rundown so you can match your application to the right build the first time—whether you need compact simplicity, heavy-duty serviceability, a vertical footprint, mobile power, or automatic priming. Keep this quick, practical guide to Cornell’s frame/mounting configurations and when to use each one handy.
Tuesday Tip: Foundations and Piping Support — Do’s and Don’ts for Reliable Pump Installation

Cornell History
The story of Cornell starts in 1946 when 5 people working at Pacific Pump Company decided to head out on their own. Having a complete service department, they became familiar with what most of the common pump failures were. Many motor failures came from pressure spikes during operation, overloading capacity and water related failures of the pump end motor bearings. With many parts in stock and facilities to fabricate the rest, Cornell would service any model of pump.
