Installation

Installation

Preinstallation

Precautions
WARNING:
• When installing in a potentially explosive environment, make sure that the motor is properly certified.
• You must ground (earth) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment, the driver, and any monitoring equipment. Test the ground (earth) lead to verify that it is connected correctly.
NOTICE:
Supervision by an authorized Xylem representative is recommended to ensure proper installation. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
Evaluate the installation in order to determine that the Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) meets or exceeds the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR), as stated by the pump performance curve.

Pump location guidelines

WARNING:
Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support this equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift equipment only at the specifically identified lifting points. Lifting devices such as eyebolts, slings, and spreaders must be rated, selected, and used for the entire load being lifted.
Guideline Explanation/comment Keep the pump as close to the liquid source as
practically possible. Make sure that the space around the pump is
sufficient.
If you require lifting equipment such as a hoist or tackle, make sure that there is enough space above the pump.
Protect the unit from weather and water damage due to rain, flooding, and freezing temperatures.
Do not install and operate the equipment in closed systems unless the system is constructed with properly-sized safety devices and control devices.
Take into consideration the occurrence of unwanted noise and vibration.
If the pump location is overhead, undertake special precautions to reduce possible noise transmission.
This minimizes the friction loss and keeps the suction piping as short as possible.
This facilitates ventilation, inspection, maintenance, and service.
This makes it easier to properly use the lifting equipment and safely remove and relocate the components to a safe location.
This is applicable if nothing else is specified.
Acceptable devices:
• Pressure relief valves
• Compression tanks
• Pressure controls
• Temperature controls
• Flow controls
If the system does not include these devices, consult the engineer or architect in charge before you operate the pump.
The best pump location for noise and vibration absorption is on a concrete floor with subsoil underneath.
Consider a consultation with a noise specialist.

When possible, locate the pump below the fluid level.

Foundation requirements

Requirements
• The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid support for the unit.
• The foundation must weigh at least 2-1/2 times the weight of the pump unit.
• Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion when you tighten the foundation bolts.
• Sleeve-type and J-type foundation bolts are most commonly used. Both designs allow movement for the final bolt adjustment.
• Anchor bolts are preferred installed vertically, but when expansion type or chemically set anchors are installed at an angle through the base mounting holes, beveled washers with matching angles shall be used under the anchor bolt nuts.
• Tie the concrete pad in with the finished floor.
• Use foundation bolts and larger pipe sleeves to give room for final bolt location.
Diagram
• Allow enough bolt length for grout, shims, lower baseplate flange, nuts, and washers.
Installation
This facilitates priming, ensures a steady flow of liquid, and provides a positive suction head on the pump.

3. Washer
4. Built-up concrete foundation

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 high­temperature 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.
Series e-1510 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual 13
Page 16
Installation
Check Explanation/comment Checked Check that a section of straight pipe, with a length that
is a minimum of five times its diameter, is installed between the suction side of the pump and the first elbow, or that a B&G 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 you have a foot valve of equal or greater area than the pump suction piping when you use in an open system with a suction lift.
Check that flexible piping is used on both the suction and discharge sides of the pump when you use an isolation base.
Check that a B&G Triple Duty® valve is installed in the discharge line.
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.
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.
Coupling and bearing wear will result if suction or discharge lines are forced into position.
This helps to avoid strain on the pump.
Prevent clogging by using a strainer at the suction inlet next to the foot valve. Make sure that the strainer has an area three times that of the suction pipe with a mesh hole diameter of no less than 0.25 in. (0.64 cm).
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.

Pump insulation checklist

Check Checked Check that the bearing assembly grease fittings are
accessible and visible. Check that the vent slot on the bottom of the bearing
assembly is uncovered and completely open.

Pump operation precautions

General considerations
CAUTION:
• Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow from the suction side since this can result in decreased performance, unexpected heat generation, and equipment damage.
• Do not overload the driver. Driver overload can result in unexpected heat generation and equipment damage. The driver can overload in these circumstances:
• The specific gravity of the pumped fluid is greater than expected.
• The pumped fluid exceeds the rated flow rate.
• Make sure to operate the pump at or near the rated conditions. Failure to do so can result in pump damage from cavitation or recirculation.
Operation at reduced capacity
WARNING:
Never operate any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge. Operation, even for a brief period under these conditions, can cause confined pumped fluid to overheat, which results in a violent explosion. You must take all necessary measures to avoid this condition.
CAUTION:
Avoid excessive vibration levels. Excessive vibration levels can damage the bearings, stuffing box or seal chamber, and the mechanical seal, which can result in decreased performance.
Series e-1510 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual 21
Page 24
Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
NOTICE:
• Avoid increased radial load. Failure to do so can cause stress on the shaft and bearings.
• Avoid heat build-up. Failure to do so can cause rotating parts to score or seize.
• Avoid cavitation. Failure to do so can cause damage to the internal surfaces of the pump.
Operation under freezing conditions
NOTICE:
Do not expose an idle pump to freezing conditions. Drain all liquid that is inside the pump. Failure to do so can cause liquid to freeze and damage the pump.

Shut down the pump

1. Slowly close the discharge valve.
2. Shut down and lock the driver to prevent accidental rotation.
Make the
final alignment of the pump and driver
WARNING:
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
• Follow shaft alignment procedures in order to prevent catastrophic failure of drive components or unintended contact of rotating parts. Follow the coupling installation and operation procedures from the coupling manufacturer.
You must check the final alignment after the pump and driver are at operating temperature. For initial alignment instructions, see the Installation chapter.
1. Run the unit under actual operating conditions for enough time to bring the pump, driver, and associated system to operating temperature.
2. Shut down the pump and the driver.
3. Remove the coupling guard. See Remove the coupling guard in the Maintenance chapter.
4. Check the alignment while the unit is still hot. See Pump-to-driver alignment in the Installation chapter.
5. Reinstall the coupling guard.
6. Restart the pump and driver.

Note on the packed pump operation

Tighten the gland nuts
Before you start the pump, back off the packing gland nuts or screws until the gland is loose.
Hand tighten until the gland is snug against the freely run from the packing. This is normal and should be allowed to continue for a period of time before you continue to tighten the gland. Tighten the gland nuts slowly and one flat at a time.
Leakage rate
An adequate leakage rate is not one single value for all pumps and installations, but is the amount required to provide adequate cooling and lubrication. The required leakage is influenced by operating pressure, fluid temperature, shaft speed, and so forth. For fluid
22 Series e-1510 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
first packing ring. Initially, water might
Page 25
temperatures in the range of 32°F to 190°F (0°C to 88°C), average leakage rates of 60 to 80 drops per minute are recommended. However, each individual pump and installation has unique operating conditions that result in widely-variable leakage rate requirements.
Maximum fluid temperature
At fluid operating temperatures near the upper limit of 190°F (88°C), the maximum temperature rise of the leakage is important. Never operate a packed pump with steam forming at the gland. This limits the temperature rise to a maximum of about 20°F (-7°C). If the formation of steam persists at higher leakage rates, you must provide cooling water by means of an external supply, or a heat exchanger used to cool the bypass flush.
Vibration
After startup, vibration can be measured at the coupling end of the pump bearing frame and on the coupling end bell of the motor in the horizontal (H), vertical (V), and axial (A) directions. The maximum expected value is 0.15 in/sec (3.8 mm/sec) RMS (ANSI/HI 9.6.4) when operating in the Preferred Operating Range (POR) flows from 70% to 120% of the best efficiency point (BEP) (ANSI/HI 9.6.3). Operation outside the POR, but within the Allowable Operating Range (AOR) from minimum flow to 85% of the end of the curve increases the vibration value by 30%. If the vibration recorded exceeds these values, shut down the pump, diagnose and fix the problem, re-start, and re-check the vibration.

Not applicable, lubricated before shipment

Regrease the grease-lubricated bearings

It is important to lubricate pumps and motors that require regreasing with the proper grease. See the motor service instructions and nameplate for motor regreasing information. Pumps are to be regreased using the grease types listed below or approved equal. Always keep pump and motor properly lubricated.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the grease container, the greasing device, and the fittings are clean. Failure to do this can result in impurities entering the bearing housing when you regrease the bearings.
1. With fully enclosed coupling guards, regrease pump while pump is running. a) With old style open ended guards, stop pump, re-grease, and hand turn shaft
before re-starting.
2. Wipe dirt from the grease fittings before greasing.
3. Fill both of the grease cavities through the fittings with the recommended grease. Stop when grease leaks out at shaft.
4. If needed, stop pump and wipe off excess grease.
5. Restart pump.
First lubrication, replacement bearings
Hand pack bearings before pressing on the shaft. After bearing frame assembly, follow relube instructions to lube bearings.
Lubrication interval, pump, polyurea-based grease, operating hours
• 3600 hours, 2 pole
• 7200 hours, 4 pole
• 50% for severe conditions: dirty, wet and/or above 100°F (38°C) ambient
• 50% for bearing frame temperature above 180°F (82°C)
• 75% for lithium-based grease
The bearing temperature usually rises after you regrease due to an excess supply of grease. Temperatures return to normal in about two to four operating hours as the pump runs and purges the excess grease from the bearings. Maximum normal bearing housing temperature for polyurea-based grease is 225°F (107°C) and for lithium-based grease 180°F (82°C).

Lubricating grease requirements

NOTICE:
• Never mix greases of different consistencies (NLGI 1 or 3 with NLGI 2) or with different thickeners. For example, never mix a lithium-based grease with a polyurea-based grease. This can result in decreased performance.
• Remove the bearings and old grease if you need to change the grease type or consistency. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased performance.

Disassembly

Disassembly precautions

This manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be adhered to.
WARNING:
• Make sure that the pump is isolated from the system and that pressure is relieved before you disassemble the pump, remove plugs, open vent or drain valves, or disconnect the piping.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy. Use proper lifting methods and wear steel-toed shoes at all times.

Drain the pump

NOTICE:
Make sure that all replacement parts are available before you disassemble the pump for overhaul.
CAUTION:
• Allow all system and pump components to cool before you handle them to prevent physical injury.
1. Close the isolation valves on the suction and discharge sides of the pump. You must drain the system if no valves are installed.
2. Open the drain valve. Do not proceed until liquid stops coming out of the drain valve. If liquid continues to
flow from the drain valve, the isolation valves are not sealing properly and you must repair them before you proceed.
3. Leave the drain valve open and remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the pump housing.
Do not reinstall the plug or close the drain valve until the reassembly is complete.
4. Drain the liquid from the piping and flush the pump if it is necessary.

NOTICE:
Protect machined surfaces while you clean the parts. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.

Replacement guidelines

Impeller replacement
This table shows the criteria for replacing the impeller:
Impeller parts When to replace Impeller vanes • When grooved deeper than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm), or
Vane edges When you see cracks, pitting, or corrosion damage
Gaskets, O-rings, and seat replacement
• Replace all gaskets and O-rings at each overhaul and disassembly.
• Inspect the seats. They must be smooth and free of physical defects.
• Replace parts if the seats are defective.

Shaft and sleeve inspection

Inspection criteria
Inspect the shaft and sleeve according to this criteria:
• Thoroughly clean the shaft and sleeve.
• Thoroughly clean the coverplate seal cavity.
• Inspect the surface for damage such as pitting, corrosion, nicks, and scratches.
Replace these parts if they are damaged.
• When worn evenly more than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm)

Bearing frame inspection

Check the bearing frame for these conditions:
• Visually inspect the bearing frame and support foot for cracks.
• Inspect the bearing frame for smooth and free operation.
• Inspect the bearing frame for contamination by pumped fluids.
Repair or replace the bearing frame as necessary.

Impeller trimming guidelines

Machining
When it is necessary to reduce the pump flow rate and generated head by trimming the impeller diameter, the following guidelines apply for stainless steel impellers:
• Review the pump hydraulic selection data and consult your local Xylem representative to select the proper reduced diameter.
• For the e-1510-4AD model, before trimming the impeller refer to the e-1510-4AD angle cut guidelines.
• The recommended machining insert is Sandvick CNMG 432-1125 or equal without coolant at 250 surface feet per minute (SFM) (76.2 surface meter per minute (SMM)).
• To calculate the spindle speed (RPM), use the formula RPM=(SFM*12)/(3.1416* diameter of cut, in.) (RPM=(SMM*39.37)/(3.1416* diameter of cut, mm/25.4)). This results in the following:
Impeller Maximum Diameter Recommended Maximum Spindle Speed (RPM) 7 in. (177.8 mm) 136
9.5 in. (241.3 mm) 100 11 in. (279.4 mm) 87

Warranty. For goods sold for personal, family or household purposes, Seller warrants the goods purchased hereunder (with the exception of membranes, seals, gaskets, elastomer materials, coatings and other "wear parts" or consumables all of which are not warranted except as otherwise provided in the quotation or sales form) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of installation or eighteen (18) months from the product date code, whichever shall occur first, unless a longer period is provided by law or is specified in the product documentation (the “Warranty”).
Except as otherwise required by law, Seller shall, at its option and at no cost to Buyer, either repair or replace any product which fails to conform with the Warranty provided Buyer gives written notice to Seller of any defects in material or workmanship within ten (10) days of the date when any defects or non-conformance are first manifest. Under either repair or replacement option, Seller shall not be obligated to remove or pay for the removal of the defective product or install or pay for the installation of the replaced or repaired product and Buyer shall be responsible for all other costs, including, but not limited to, service costs, shipping fees and expenses. Seller shall have sole discretion as to the method or means of repair or replacement. Buyer’s failure to comply with Seller’s repair or replacement directions shall terminate Seller’s obligations under this Warranty and render this Warranty void. Any parts repaired or replaced under the Warranty are warranted only for the balance of the warranty period on the parts that were repaired or replaced. The Warranty is conditioned on Buyer giving written notice to Seller of any defects in material or workmanship of warranted goods within ten (10) days of the date when any defects are first manifest.
Seller shall have no warranty obligations to Buyer with respect to any product or parts of a product that have been: (a) repaired by third parties other than Seller or without Seller’s written approval; (b) subject to misuse, misapplication, neglect, alteration, accident, or physical damage; (c) used in a manner contrary to Seller’s instructions for installation, operation and maintenance; (d) damaged from ordinary wear and tear, corrosion, or chemical attack; (e) damaged due to abnormal conditions, vibration, failure to properly prime, or operation without flow; (f) damaged due to a defective power supply or improper electrical protection; or (g) damaged resulting from the use of accessory equipment not sold or approved by Seller. In any case of products not manufactured by Seller, there is no warranty from Seller; however, Seller will extend to Buyer any warranty received from Seller’s supplier of such products.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS PROVIDED IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF INSTALLATION OR EIGHTEEN (18) MONTHS FROM THE PRODUCT DATE CODE , WHICHEVER SHALL OCCUR FIRST.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.
