Installation
Preinstallation
Pump location guidelines
Follow these guidelines for locating the unit:
• Position the unit for easy access to all parts.
• Allow adequate space for servicing.
• Check ambient conditions.
Piping checklist
WARNING:
• The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric expansion. The associated forces
can cause the failure of system components and the release of high-temperature fluids.
In order to prevent this, install properly sized and located compression tanks and
pressure-relief valves. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal
injury or death, or property damage.
• Avoid serious personal injury and property damage. Make sure that the flange bolts are
adequately torqued.
• Never force piping to make a connection with a pump.
CheckExplanation/commentChecked
Check that a section of straight pipe, with a length that
is five times its diameter, is installed between the
suction side of the pump and the first elbow, or that a
suction diffuser is installed.
Check that the suction and discharge pipes are
supported independently by use of pipe hangers near
the pump .
Check that there is a strong, rigid support for the
suction and discharge lines.
For pumps with flanges, check that the bolt holes in
the pump flanges match the bolt holes in the pipe
flanges.
Check that the suction or discharge lines are not
forced into position.
Check that fittings for absorbing expansion are
installed in the system when considerable
temperature changes are expected.
Check that a triple duty valve is installed in the
discharge line.
This reduces suction turbulence by
straightening the flow of liquid before it enters
the pump.
This eliminates pipe strain on the pump .
As a rule, ordinary wire or band hangers are not
adequate to maintain proper alignment.
—
—
This helps to avoid strain on the pump.
This valve serves as a check valve that protects
the pump from water hammer, and serves as
an isolation valve for servicing and for
throttling.
Check that the pipeline has isolation valves around
the pump and has a drain valve in the suction pipe.
Use PTFE tape sealer or a high quality thread sealant
when you install the suction and discharge
connections to a threaded pump housing.

A vent is provided. When appropriate, a 3/16 in. (4.76 mm) tube can be run up to a tank on
the suction side of the pump for automatic air venting.
System conditions
Make sure that the system has been properly cleaned before you install the pump. Foreign
matter such as dirt, pipe scale, or core sand may clog the impeller and damage the
mechanical seal.
It is recommended that you install a strainer in the return line to the pump.
For operation at extremely high or low temperatures, you must install guarding or
insulation.
Connect the wiring
WARNING:
Disconnect and lock out electrical power before installing or servicing the pump.

inspect for proper alignment and reassemble the unit.
4. Replace the four capscrews and tighten them evenly to avoid damage.
Complete the reassembly
1. Reconnect the pump bleed line.
2. Reconnect the motor wiring.
3. Close the drain and slowly open the inlet valves.
Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to mechanical seal. If
you run a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, this can cause
seal damage. Physical injury can occur if a mechanical seal fails.

WARNING:
Explosion hazard. Do not pressurize the receiver. Do not plug the
overflow. Pipe the vent opening to the atmosphere. Do not restrict.
Open valves slowly.
4. Jog the motor to check the rotation. If the pump runs backwards, interchange two
wires (three-phase only).
NOTICE:
Reverse operation can cause extensive damage to pumps. Do not reverse. Jog the
motor to test for direction of rotation.
5. Observe the operation through several cycles.

Troubleshooting
The power supply has been interrupted, the disconnect
switch is open, or the control switch is improperly
positioned.
The voltage is not correct for the motor.Check the voltage and wiring against the motor
The starter coil is not correct for the power supply.—
The overload relays in the starter have tripped out.
The ambient temperature may be too high.
The wiring to the control is incorrect, or the connections
are loose.
The control signals are for the pump to be "off."—
Pump capacity is reduced

toward the pump.
Rotation of three-phase motors can be corrected by
interchanging any two of the three wires.
NOTICE:
Any electrical service should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
The total pressure at the pump discharge is too high.Check the pressure requirement. This includes system
back pressure, friction, and static head.
There is excessive suction lift or the piping is incorrect.—
A valve in the pump discharge line or suction line is
closed or throttled too tightly.
A check valve is installed backwards.
The impeller eye is clogged with trash.Clean out the impeller eye.
The pump is too small for the system.—
A strainer is dirty and is retarding the flow.Clean out the strainer.
The pump has lost its prime.Release the trapped air in the pump and reprime.
Steam traps are blowing through. This causes condensate
to return at excessive temperatures. This may reduce the
capacity of the pump below its rating, depending on the
unit and type of pump furnished.
Excessive temperatures can reduce the capacity of the
pump below its rating.
