A pump assembly is configured to fit to a predefined pipe layout defined by supply and discharge interfaces that are positioned in a predefined relation to supply and discharged centerlines, respectively. The pump assembly includes a multistage pump having a plurality of pumping stages mounted along a pump shaft rotating along a rotation axis. The multistage pump has an inlet port and a discharge port, and the multistage pump is aligned horizontally such that the rotation axis is oriented parallel to the supply centerline. The pump assembly also includes an adaptor having a pump interface and a pipe interface, wherein the adaptor has an internal fluid channel extending along a non-linear passageway between the pump and pipe interfaces. The pump interface is coupled to one of the inlet and discharge ports of the multistage pump, and the pipe interface is located proximate one of the supply and discharge interfaces.
