Pump location guidelines
Installation
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.
GuidelineExplanation/comment
Keep the pump as close to the liquid source as
practically possible.
Make sure that the space around the pump is sufficient.
Also make sure that you can protect the area below the
pump from water damage.
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 properlysized safety devices and control devices.
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.
Take into consideration the occurrence of unwanted
noise and vibration.
Series 60 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual11
Vibration can be transmitted to the piping system,
which can result in objectionable noise away from the
pump.
Installation
GuidelineExplanation/comment
Piping checklist
If the pump location is overhead, undertake special
precautions to reduce possible noise transmission.
When possible, locate the pump below the fluid level.This facilitates priming, ensures a steady flow of liquid,
The code for pressure piping, ANSI B31.1, lists types of supports available for various
applications.
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 the pump is not supported by placing
hangers or floor supports on the motor.
Consider a consultation with a noise specialist.
and provides a positive suction head on the pump.
Shaft misalignment and subsequent premature
coupling and bearing wear will result if motor
is improperly supported.
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
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.
This reduces suction turbulence by
straightening the flow of liquid before it enters
the pump.
The length of the pipe must be equal to five
times the diameter of the suction pipe size
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).
Check that a B&G Triple Duty® valve is installed in the
discharge line.

when you install the suction and discharge
connections to a threaded pump housing.
On an open system, check that the end of the suction
pipe is at least 3 ft. below the surface of the water in
the suction well.
This prevents air from being drawn into the
pump. Avoid air pockets in the suction line and
make sure that each section of the suction pipe
is air tight.
Check that new flange gaskets are installed between
the flanges of the pump body end suction and
discharge pipes. Make sure that these gaskets are
clean and grease-free.
Suitable fasteners for this connection are
supplied in the Xylem fastener pack. Apply a
torque of 8 to 11 ft. lbs (11 to 15 Nm) to each of
the flange bolts. Both the suction and
discharge flanges must be torqued to the same
level.
You can install this pump to discharge up, down, left, or right. However, make sure that
you install the pump according to these pump orientation guidelines:
• Reposition the pump body by removing the body bolts and rotating the body around
the bearing assembly.

• Verify the driver settings before you start any pump.
• Make sure that the warm-up rate does not exceed 2.5°F (1.4°C) per minute.
You must follow these precautions before you start the pump:
• Flush and clear the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in
order to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
• Bring variable-speed drivers to the rated speed as quickly as possible.
• If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 200°F (93°C), then warm up the pump
prior to operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing
temperature is within 100°F (38°C) of the fluid temperature.
At initial startup, do not adjust the variable-speed drivers or check for speed governor or
over-speed trip settings while the variable-speed driver is coupled to the pump. If the
settings have not been verified, then uncouple the unit and refer to instructions supplied
by the driver manufacturer.

• Open the suction valve.
• Open any recirculation or cooling lines.
1. Fully close or partially open the discharge valve, depending on system conditions.
2. Start the driver.
3. Slowly open the discharge valve until the pump reaches the desired flow.
18Series 60 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
4. Immediately check the pressure gauge to ensure that the pump quickly reaches the
correct discharge pressure.
5. If the pump fails to reach the correct pressure, perform these steps:
a) Stop the driver.
b) Restart the driver.
6. Monitor the pump while it is operating:
a) Check the pump for bearing temperature, excessive vibration, and noise.
b) If the pump exceeds normal levels, then shut down the pump immediately and
correct the problem.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the pump runs properly.
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.
Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
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.
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
and the cooling coils. Failure to do so can cause liquid to freeze and damage the pump.

• Inspect the pump parts according to the information in these pre-assembly topics
before you reassemble your pump. Replace any part that does not meet the required
criteria.
• Make sure that the parts are clean. Clean the pump parts in solvent in order to remove
oil, grease, and dirt.
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 partsWhen to replace
Maintenance
Impeller vanes
Vane edgesWhen you see cracks, pitting, or corrosion damage
Gaskets, O-rings, and seatsreplacement
• 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.
Reassembly
Reinstall the seal
1. Clean the shaft sleeve and seal seat recess.
You can use crocus cloth in order to polish the sleeve. Do not scratch or gouge the
recess or sleeve.
2. Install the seat gasket and seat into the seal recess in the faceplate or coverplate.
On ceramic seats there are two dimples located on one of the faces. The dimples
indicate the side of the seat that rests against the seat gasket. Tungsten carbide faces
can be inserted with either face against the gasket.
3. Lubricate the seal boot with soapy water and then slide the complete seal head
(carbon ring, seal boot, driver, and compression ring) over the shaft.
Do not attempt to install the seal head by placing the components on the shaft
individually.
4. Slide the seal head on until the carbon ring contacts the seat. Make sure that the
protrusions in the driver remain engaged in the notches in the carbon.
5. Use the flat face of a screwdriver and firmly press on the top of the edge of the
compression ring at several locations in order to make sure that the seal head sits flat
against the seat.
6. Place the spring and spring retainer on top of the seal head.
• When grooved deeper than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm), or
• When worn evenly more than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm)

Maintenance
Reinstall the bearing assembly and impeller
WARNING:
Whenever the bearing assembly is removed from the piping, use a new gasket when you
reinstall. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property
damage.
1. Wipe the bearing bores clean and remove any rust or scale deposits with a fine emery
cloth.
2. Insert the new wave spring into the rear bearing bore.
3. Lubricate the OD of the rear bearing with grease:
• On shaft assemblies that go into aluminum housings, lubricate the OD of the
bearing holder, not the faceplate.
• On shaft assemblies that go into cast iron housings, lubricate the OD of the front
bearing.
4. Insert the shaft assembly into the housing and then install and tighten the retaining
screws.
5. For cast iron bearing assemblies, install the coverplate on the housing.
6. If used, install the adapter ring and gasket on the new bearing assembly.
7. Install the impeller on the new bearing assembly and use the new impeller nut and
lockwasher provided with the new bearing assembly.
8. Insert a long punch between the impeller vanes or grasp the impeller with a strap
wrench to prevent the impeller from turning.
9. Torque the impeller nut to 96 to 144 lb-in. for nuts used on 3/8 in. fine threaded shafts
or 204 to 264 lb-in. for nuts used on 7/16 in. fine threaded shafts.
10. Clean the old body gasket from the volute.
11. Put a new body gasket on the bearing assembly and then install the assembly on the
pump body.
12. Install the eight volute capscrews and tighten them according to the torque
specifications in the Capscrew torque values table.
Reinstall the spring type coupler and motor
1. Install the new coupler on the pump shaft.
2. Make sure that the coupler setscrew is seated in the shaft dimple.
3. Lift the motor into position and attach the motor side coupler half.
Make sure that the coupler setscrew is seated in the shaft dimple.
4. Support the motor and then install the four screws that hold the motor to the bearing
assembly.
5. Attach the conduit and power leads to the conduit box.
6. Connect the power leads to the motor leads.
7. Replace the conduit box cover.
8. Check for proper motor rotation. The proper rotation is clockwise when viewed from
the back of the motor.

1.Use a screwdriver to slide the pump side coupler over the insert
as far as possible.
2.Gap the coupler by sliding the pump coupler half back 1/16 in.
3.Tighten the setscrews
The motor shaft is keyed and the
pump shaft is either dimpled or
keyed
1.Use a screwdriver to slide the motor side coupler over the insert
as far as possible.
2.Gap the coupler by sliding the motor coupler half back 1/16 in.
3.Tighten the setscrews
When an elastomeric type coupler is used with a keyed pump and/or motor shaft, do
not leave the insert compressed between the coupler halves. There must be a gap
between the ends of the insert and the coupler flanges to accommodate shaft
expansion and contraction. If the insert is not gapped, the pump and motor bearings
are subjected to excessive loads, which leads to premature failure. However, it is
possible to have too large a gap. The gap is considered excessive when the insert
teeth are not completely engaged in the coupler halves.
6. Insert the conduit and power leads on the conduit box.
7. Connect the power leads to the motor leads.
8. Install the conduit box cover.
9. Check that the motor rotation is clockwise when viewed from the back of the motor.
10. Fill and bleed the system and then check for leaks.
WARNING:
• Pressurize the pump body slowly while you check for leaks at all
joints with gaskets. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
serious personal injury or property damage.
