It comes with a nice snail grate for the intake. My 36 would not like a 90 on the intake side. It cause instant cavitation. consider trying it with & without. Also be gentle with the coverplate (volute) while connecting the plumbing. imo they are flimsy & easy to throw the impeller out of balance unless it's all lined up.
