cloth; ensure the cloth is damp. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardo us
area would cause the risk of an explosion.
This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates
an important instruction in the assembly process.
1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved in the operation, installation,
inspection and maintenance of the unit must be
qualified to carry out the work involved. If the
personnel in question do not already possess the
necessary knowledge and skill, appropriate training
and instruction must be provided. If required the
operator may commission the manufacturer/supplier
to provide applicable training.
Always coordinate repair activity with operatio ns and
health and safety personnel, and follow all plant
safety requirements and applicable safety and health
laws and regulations.
1.6.3 Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to
help prevent injury to personnel an d d amage to
the environment and to equipment. For products
used in potentially explosive atmospheres
section 1.6.4 also applies.
NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK
WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER
(Lock out.)
DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.
FLUOROELASTOMERS (When fitted.)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of
fluoroelastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.
HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane
appropriate for the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT THE
COUPLING GUARD AND ALL OTHER SAFETY
DEVICES CORRECTLY INSTALLED
GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL
THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.
NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE IMPEL L E R
Trapped lubricant or vapor could cause an explosion.
HOT (and cold) PARTS
If hot or freezing co mponents o r auxilia ry heating
equipment can present a danger to operators and
persons entering the immediate area, action must be
taken to avoid acciden tal conta ct (such a s shieldi ng).
Page 4 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
If complete prote ction is not possibl e, the machi ne
access must be limited to maintenance staff only with
clear visual w arni ng s a nd indi cato r s t o tho se e nte ring
the immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not
be insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.
If the temperature is greater than 68 °C (175 °F) or
below 5 °C (20 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceeds
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care
must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by
appropriate pump placement, limiting personnel
access and by operator training. If the liqu id is
flammable and/or explosive, strict safety procedures
must be applied.
Gland packing must not be used when pu mping
hazardous liquids.
PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL
PIPE LOAD
Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not
mount expansion joints, unless allowed by Flowserve
in writing, so that their force, due to internal pressure,
acts on the pump flange.
THE PUMP SHAFT MUST TURN
CLOCKWISE WHEN VIEWED FROM THE MOTOR
END
It is absolutely essential that the rotation of the motor
be checked before installation of the coupling spacer
and starting the pump. Incorrect rotation of the pump
for even a short period can unscrew the impell er,
which can cause significant damage.
1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Measures are required to:
• Avoid excess temperature
• Prevent buildup of explosive mixtures
• Prevent the generation of spark s
• Prevent leakages
• Maintain the pump to avoid hazard
The following instructions for pumps and pump units
when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres
must be followed to help ensure explosion protection.
Both electrical and non-electrical equipment must meet
the requirement s o f E ur ope an Dir e ctiv e 9 4/9/E C.
1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICA TION
(See section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation and shutdown.)
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
DESIGN PRESSURE (MDP) AT THE
TEMPERATURE SHOWN ON THE PUMP
NAMEPLATE
See section 3 for pressure versus temperature
ratings based on the material of construction.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITH
THE DISCHARGE VALVE CLOSED
(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the
User Instructions.)
(See section 5, Commissioning start-up, operation and shutdown.)
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY OR
WITHOUT PROPER PRIME (Casing flooded)
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP AT
ZERO FLOW OR FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
BELOW THE MINIMUM CONTINUOUS FLOW
Use equipment only in the zone for which it is
appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive
coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are
suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of
the specific atmosphere in which they are to be
installed.
Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft
pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The
party responsible for assembling the pump set shall
select the coupling, driver, seal and any additional
equipment, with the necessary CE Certificate/
Declaration of Conformity establishing it is suitable for
the area in which it is to be installed.
The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can
cause additional heating affects in the motor. On
pump installations controlled by a VFD, the ATEX
Certification for the motor must state that it covers the
situation where electrical supply is from the VFD.
This particular requirement still applies even if the
VFD is in a safe area.

The responsibility for compliance with the specified
maximum liquid temperature is with the plant
operator.
Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the
liquid temperature varies and the pump could be
installed in different hazardous atmospheres. In this
case the user is responsible for ensuring that the
pump surface temperature does not exceed that
permitted in the particular hazardous atmosphere.
Do not attempt to check the dir ection of rotat ion with the
coupling element/pins fitted due to the risk of severe
contact between rot ating and stationa ry compon ents.
Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a
closed valve generatin g high liqu id and ca sing exte rnal
surface temperature, it is recommended that users fit an
external surface temperature protection device.
Avoid mechan i cal , hy d raul ic o r electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, temperature monitor or a
power monitor and perform routine vibration monitoring.
In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must
be made and dirt removed from areas around close
clearances, bearing housings and motors.
1.6.4.4 Preventing the buildup of explosive
mixtures
ENSURE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED AND
VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY
Ensure that the pump and relevant suction and discharge
piping is totally filled with li quid at all ti mes du ring the
pumps operation so tha t an expl osive at mosphere is
prevented. In addition, i t is essential to make sure that
seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal systems and any
heating and cooling systems are properly filled.
Page 6 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
If the operation of the system can not avoid this
condition it is recommended that you fit an
appropriate dry run protection device (for example
liquid detection or a power monitor).
To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of
vapor or gas to atmosphere, the surrounding area
must be well ventilated.
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking for
Category 2.
To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the baseplate must be
properly grounded.
Avoid electrostatic charge. Do not rub nonmetallic surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure the cloth is
damp.
The coupling must be selected to comply with
94/9/EC and correct alignment must be maintained.
Additional requirements for pumps on nonmetallic baseplates
When metallic components are fitted on a nonmetallic baseplate they must be individually earthed.
1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage
Avoid entrapment o f l iqui d in the pump and
associated piping due to closing of suction and
discharge valves, which could cause dangerous
excessive pressures to occur if there is heat input to the
liquid. This can occur if the pump is stationary or
running.
Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing
must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump
and auxiliary systems.
Where there is the potenti al hazard of a lo ss of a seal
barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be monitored.
If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a
hazard, the installation of a liquid detection device is
recommended.
1.6.4.7 Maintenance of the centrifugal pump to
avoid a hazard
CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO
AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION
The responsibility for compliance with maintenance
instructions is with the plant operator.
To avoid potential explosion hazards during maintenance,
the tools, cleaning and painting materials used must not
give rise to sparking o r adversely affect the ambient
conditions. Where there is a risk from such tools or
materials, maintenance must be conducted in a safe area.
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and schedule
is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.)

1.8 Noise level
When pump noise level exceeds 85 dB(A) attention
must be given to prevailing Health and Safety
Legislation, to limit the exposure of pla nt operat in g
personnel to the noise. The usual approach is to
control exposure time to the noise or to enclose the
machine to reduce emitted sound. You may have
already specified a limiting noise le ve l when the
equipment was ordered, however if no noise
requirements were defined then m ac hines abo ve a
certain power level will exceed 85 dB(A). In such
situations consideration must be given to the fitting of
an acoustic enclosure to meet local regulations.
Pump noise level is dependen t on a numbe r of factors -
The values are based on the noisiest non-geared
electric motors that are likely to be encountered.
They represent sound pressure levels at 1 m (3.3 ft)
from the directly driven pump, for "free field over a
reflecting plane". For estimating L
sound power
wA
level (re 1 pW) add 14dBA to the sound pressure
value.
If a pump unit only has been purchased, for fitting
with your own driver, then the "pump only" noise
levels from the table should be combined with the
level for the driver obtained from the supplier.
If the motor is driven by an inverter it may show an
increase in noise level at some speeds. Consult a
Noise Specialist for the combined calculation.
the type of motor fitted, the ope rating capa city, pipework
design and acoustic characteristics of the building.
Typical sound pressure levels measured in dB, and
A-weighted are shown in the table below. The figures
are indicative only, they are subject to a +3 dB
For units driven by equipment other than
electric motors or units contained within enclosures,
see the accompanying information sheets and
manuals.
(1)Motors in this range are generally job specific and noise levels should be calculated based on actual equipment installed.
For 960 r/min reduce 1450 r/min values by 5 dBA.

2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery/s hipping documents for
its completeness and that there has been no
damage in transportation. Any shortage and/or
damage must be reported immediately to Flowserve
Pump Division and must be received in writing within
ten days of receipt of the equipment. Later claims
cannot be accepted.
Check any crate, boxes or wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to pallet,
box, or equipment.
Each product has a unique serial number. Check
that this number corresponds with the order. Always
quote this number in correspondence as well as
when ordering spare parts or further accessories.

Pumps and motors often have
integral lifting lugs or eye bolts. These are intended
for use in only lifting the individual piece of
equipment.
Do not use eye bolts or cast-in lifting
lugs to lift pump, motor and baseplate assemblies.
Care must be taken to lift components
or assemblies above the center of gravity to prevent
the unit from flipping. This is especially true with
In-Line pumps.
Carefully sling ESP pumps so that
bearing lubrication lines (3840.1) will not be bent or
damaged when lifting.
It is advisable to raise the pump into the vertical
position before uncrating. If this isn't possible, pumps
over eight feet long must be supported at more than
one place when raising to the vertical position. Use a
support strap around the bottom column (1341.2)
and on the motor support (3160).

Serial No.
2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry
location away from vibration. Leave flange covers in
place to keep dirt and other foreign material out of
pump casing.
The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
2.4.1 Short term storage and packaging
Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump
and parts during shipment and for dry, indoor
storage for up to six months or less. The following is
an overview of our normal packaging:
•All loose unmounted items are pack aged in a
water proof plastic bag or box.
•Inner surfaces of the bearing housing, shaft (area
through bearing ho u sing) and be a rings a re coat ed
with Cortec VCI-329 rust inhibitor, or equal.
•Regreaseable bearings in the pump are packed
with Keystone 81-EP-2 lithium-based grease for
the thrust bearing (and the line shaft bearings
when grease lubrication is used).
•The internal surfaces of ferrous casings, covers,
flange faces, and the impeller surface are
sprayed with Cortec VCI-389, or equal
• Exposed shafts are taped with Polywrap
• Flange covers are secured to both the suction
and discharge flanges
•In some cases with assemblies ordered with
external piping, components may be
disassembled for shipment
•The pump must be stored in a covered, dry
location
•Every three months the pump shaft should be
rotated several revolutions to prevent brinelling
of the thrust bearing and sticking of the seal
faces (if fit t ed).
2.4.2 Long term storage and packagin g
Long term storage is defined as more than six
months, but less than 12 months. The procedure
Flowserve follows for long term storage of pumps is
given below. These procedures are in addition to
the short term procedure.
•Each assembly is hermetically (heat) sealed
from the atmosphere by means of tack wrap
sheeting and rubber bushings (mounting holes)
•Desiccant bags are placed inside the tack
wrapped packaging
•A solid wood box is used to cover the assembly
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
This packaging will provide protection for up to
twelve months from humidity, salt laden air, dust etc.
After unpacking, protection will be the responsibility of
the user. Addition of oil to the bearing housing will
remove the inhi bit or . If uni t s a re to be idle for extended
periods after addition of lubricants, inhibitor oils and
greases should be used.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life
At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and in accor danc e with loca l
regulations. If the product contains substances that

3.2 Nomenclature
The pump size will be engraved on the nameplate
typically as below:
6 X 4 X 10
• “6” = nominal suction port size (in.)
• “4” = Nominal discharge port size (in.)
• Nominal maximum impelle r diamete r. “10” = 10 in.
• Actual impeller size
“9.5” = 9 ½ in. diameter; “8.13” = 8 ⅛ in;
”7.75” = 7 ¾ in
3.3 Design of major parts
3.3.1 Pump casing
Casings are either a single or double volute design with
a centerline discharge.
3.3.2 Impeller
The impeller is an open design and is threaded to the
end of the shaft.
3.3.3 Shaft
Solid shafting is supported on plain bear ings with a
thrust bearing located above the sump level.
3.3.4 Pump bearings and lubrication
Grease lubricated double row angular contact ball
bearings are fitted as standard for the external thrust
bearings. The plain bearings that support the shaft
against radial loads can be lubricated either by
external flush, product, or grease (see Fig. 3-4).
3.3.5 Bearing housing
The external bearing housing holds the thrust
bearing and has lip seals to prevent ingress of
contaminates to the bearing grease.
3.3.6 Shaft seal
There is no shaft seal required near the impeller
since the pump is submerged. Only a small amount
of pressurized fluid escapes through controlled leak
paths from the backside of the impeller. Packing or
a mechanical seal can be fitted above the sump level
to provide vapor proof or pressurized options for the
application.
3.3.7 Driver
The driver is normally a vertical electric motor.
3.3.8 Accessories
Accessories may be fitted when specified by the
customer.

ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
4.1 Location
The pump should be located to allow room for
installation, access, ventilation, maintenance, and
inspection with ample headroom for lifting. Refer to
the general arrangement drawing for the pump set.
If pump is furnished with external flush-lubricated
bearings, the fluid lines must be accessible from
the pump location.
Also important, especially in the larger flow units, is
proper sump design. Liquid velocity approaching
the pump should be one foot per second or less.
When more than one pump is installed and used at
the same time in the same sump, the location and
spacing of the pumps are important. The
guidelines for sump design and pump placement as
outlined in the "Hydraulic Institute Standards" are
recommended.
4.2 Part assemblies
•Pumps are shipped completely assembled
except for driver, strainer (6531), float controls
(if furnished), pit cover, and the mechanical
seal (4200) or packing (4130) for the stuffing
box on a vapor proof or pressurized design
pump.
•When mechanical seals are furnished, they
should be installed before the motor is put in
place. Refer to seal installation instructions in
section 5.1.
•Vapor Proof and Pressurized design pumps
are furnished with an upper stuffing box
(4100). If the stuffing box does not already
have the packing (4130) or seal (4200)
installed, then they should be installed before
the motor is mounted. See section 5.1.
•The driver will be mounted after the pump is
installed.
•When the pump is shipped, all threads and all
openings are covered. This protection should
not be removed until installation. If the pump
is removed from service, this protection should
be reinstalled.
4.3 Foundation
There should be adequate space for workers to
install, operate, and maintain the pump. The
foundation should be sufficient to absorb any
vibration and should provide a rigid support for the
pump and motor. Recommended mass of a
concrete foundation should be three times that of
the pump, motor and mounting plate. Supporting
members must be sufficiently strong to prevent
spring action and/or lateral movement.
4.4 Pump Mounting
The pump may be mounted directly on the pit
using the pum p mountin g plate ( 6110) or in
conjunction with a pit cover.
a) The pump was checked during assembly at
the factory to make sure the pump shaft
(2100) rotated freely by hand. Handling during
shipment, storage, or preparation for
installation could have caused distortions
resulting in pump shaft binding. Check the
shaft to make sure that it will rotate freely by
hand.
b) Check all bolts and nuts for tightness, then
carefully lower the assembled pump into the
pit, taking care not to damage lube lines or float
control equipment. Make sure that any
equipment used to lift the pum p or any of
its components is capable of supporting the
weights encountered. Make su re that all parts
are properly rigged before attempting to lift.
c) Pump mounting plate and/or pit cover mus t
maintain a tolerance of 2.5mm/m (0.03in/ft)
level from one side of the plate to the other,
and be supported evenly at all points before
being bolted down.
d) If the sump doesn't provide a level mounting
surface for the pump, driv e wedges under
the mounting plate/pit cover until pump levels
out. The wedges m ust be able to support the
weight of th e entir e pum ping assembly and
hold the assembly steady enough that no
excess vibration occurs.
e) Do not bolt the discharge flange of the pump
to the piping until the baseplate foundation is
completely installed.
f) Run piping to the discharge of the pump.
There should be no piping loads transmitted to
the pump after connection is made.
4.5 Driver Mounting
a) Before the motor is installed, be sure to
connect the motor half coupling and the pump
half coupling onto their respective shafts.
b) Carefully lift the motor and place it on the
support head (3160) of the pump.
c) Turn the motor frame to one of the four
positions where the motor bolt hol e s li ne up to
the support head (3160). Select the position of
the motor to suit the desired conduit box
location. Install the motor hold down bolts
(6570.1). In some instances a motor adapter may
be furnished. In this case the adapter must be
installed before the motor can be mounted.
Page 16 of 64
PLATE
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
d) L ocate the coupli ng and source of electri cal
power but DO N OT ASSEMBLE THE
COUPLING AT THIS TIME.
e) Connect the motor terminals to the leads from
the starter panel. Make sure the motor shaft
and/or coupling is not touching any part of the
pump shaft or pump half coupling. Rotate the
motor shaft by hand to make sure it is free to
rotate when energized.
Never check driver rotation unless the
pump and driver are disconnected and
physically separated. Failure to follow this
instruction can result in serio u s damage to the
pump and driver if rotation is in the wrong
direction.
f) Jog the motor and check for proper rotation
which should be clockwise when looking
down on top of the motor. If rotation is wrong,
interchange any two moto r connections on
three-phase motors. On single-phase motors,
follow the motor manufacturer’s instructions. After
changing the connections, again check the rotation
to ensure that the direction is correct.
g) Disconnect and loc kout the power supply to the
driver.
h) The coupling can now be fully installed and
join the driver and pump shafts t ogether (see
section 5.4.2).
i) Install the coupling guarding ( see s ec tion
5.5).
4.6 Piping
4.6.1 Discharge piping
All piping must be ind epe nde ntly supported,
accurately aligned and pre ferably connecte d to the
pump by a short length of flex ible pipi ng. The pu mp
should not hav e to supp o rt th e w eig ht o f the pi pe. It
should be possible to install dis cha rge b ol ts t hrou gh
mating flanges without pulling or prying either of the
flanges. All piping must be tight .
Protective cov er s are fitted to both the
suction and discharge flanges of the casing and must
be removed prior to connecting the pump to any
pipes.
a) Use discharge piping one size larger than the
pump discharge.
b) Discharge piping should be well supported
and connected to the pump such that no strain
or weight of the piping is carried by the pump.
c) Check pump shaft for freedom of rotation by
hand to make sure any discharge piping strain
is not causing binding.
d) After the pump discharge, the increaser
should be the first item in the discharge line,
followed by the check valve and gate valve,
respectively. See Figure 4-1.
e) It is recommended that pressure indicating
devices be installed before and after the
valves in the discharge line to verify the pump
is not being run dry and that the discharge
valves are not closed.
The check valve is required to
prevent back-flow through the pump on shut-down.
This flow could cause the impeller to unscrew from
the shaft and should be avoided.
When fluid velocity in the pipe is
high, for example, 3 m/s (10 ft/sec) or higher, a
rapidly closing discharge valve can cause a
damaging pressure surge. A dampening
arrangement should be provided in the pi pin g.

4.6.2 Suction piping
ESP pumps typic ally only have strainers attached to
the suction flange of the pump casing. An option for
an extension from the suc tion flang e is availab le and
is called a tailpipe ( see sectio n 8 for cross-sectional
drawing). A tailpipe is useful for applications where
there is adequa te NPS H at th e l ow est s ump l ev el but
the discharge pressure is critical and must be
maintained at a maximum value compared to using a
longer column and shaft.
Page 17 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
4.6.3 Allowable piping loads
Discharge piping should be constructed to fit to the
ESP discharge piping flange. The ESP design can
accommodate large piping loads without affecting
the operation of the pump, but the installation
FIGURE 4-2 ESP2 nozzle loading
should not impose unnecessary loads to the
discharge flange. The allowable piping loads are
shown in Figure 4.2.
Page 18 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
4.6.4 Final pump rotation check
After connecting the piping, rotate the pump drive
shaft clockwise (viewed from motor end) by hand
several complete revolutions to be sure there is no
binding and that all parts are free. If piping caused
unit to be in a bind, correct piping to relieve strain
on the pump.
4.6.5 Auxiliary piping
Check to see if any other connections need to be
made to pump, such as injection water to stuffing
box for seal or packing lubrication (when furnished)
and make the required connections.
4.6.6 Mechanical seal and packing
Pumps supplied with vapor proof construction or
pressurized design are furnished with an upper
stuffing box (4100) equipped to take mechanical
seals or packing (see vapor proof and pressurized
design cross-sections in section 8). Installation
instructions are in section 5.1.
4.7 Electrical connections
See section 5.4, Direction of rotation
before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.
4.8 Level controls
Assemble float control equipment per Figure 4-3
below. Wire the float controls following the
diagrams on the next several pages. The stops
should be set in accordance with maximum and
minimum liquid levels desired and required. Float
rods are furnished in kits of a standard length. The
rod might have to be cut off to fit the particular
installation.
FIGURE 4-3
Electrical connections must be made
by a qualified Electrician in accor dance w ith
relevant local national and internat io na l regula tio ns .
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on potentially explosive areas wher e
compliance with IEC60079-14 is an additional
requirement for making electrical connections.
It is import ant to be aw are of the EUR OPEAN
DIRECTIVE on ele ct ro magne ti c c o mpat i bili ty w hen
wiring up and installing equipment on site.
Attention mus t be pai d to ensure tha t the te chniques
used during wiring/installation do not increase
electromagnetic emissions or decrease the
electromagnetic immunity of the equipment, wiring or
any connected d evi ce s. I f i n any do ubt contact
Flowserve for advice.
The motor must be wired up in
accordance with the motor m anuf ac tur er' s
instructions (normally supplied within the terminal
box) including any temperature, earth leakage,
current and other protective devices as appropriate.
The identification nameplate should be checked to
ensure the power supply is appropriate.

4.9 Protection systems
The following protection systems are
recommended particularly if the pump is installed in a
potentially explosive area or is handling a hazardous
liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve.
If there is any possibility of the system allowing the
pump to run against a closed valve or below
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.
If there are any circumstances in which the system
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or
prevent it from being started. This is particularly
relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.
If leakage of product from the pump or its associated
sealing system can cause a hazard it is
recommended that an appropriate leakage detection
system is installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring is carried out.
5 COMMISSIONING, STARTUP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
These operations must be carried
out by fully qualified personnel .
5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure
5.1.1 Pre start-up checks
Prior to starting the pump it is essential that the
following checks be made. These checks are all
described in detail in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
•Pump and motor properly secured to the
baseplate
•All fasteners tightened to the correct torque (see
section 6.5)
• Coupling guard in place and not rubbing
• Rotation check (see sections 4.5 and 5.4).
This is absolutely essential
• Impeller clearance setting
• Shaft seal (if supplied) proper l y instal led
• Seal support system (if supplied) operational
• Bearing lubrication
• Pump instrumentation is operational
As a final step in preparation for operation, it is
important to rotate the shaft by hand to be certain that
all rotating parts move freely, and that there are no
foreign objects in the pump casing.
5.1.2 Packing and mechanical seals
Pumps supplied with vapor proof construction or
pressurized design are furnished with an upper
stuffing box (4100) equipped to take mechanical
seals or packing (See Vapor Proof and Pressurized
Design cross-sections in section 8).
5.1.2.1 Installing mechanical seals
Mechanical seals (4200) are usually shipped
separately to prevent damage during shipment. To
install the seal some disassembly will be required
(Split seals require no disassembly and only steps e.
and f. should be followed).
a) Unbolt the support head (3160) from the bearing
bracket (3130).
b) Unbolt the thrust bearing holder (3110) and
disconnect the thrust bearing assembly (3712,
3031) (Do not remove the thrust bearing (3031)
from the sleeve (3712)).
c) Remove the bearing bracket (3130).
d) If the pump comes with the gland (4120.2)
already on the stuffing box (4100), then it must
be removed at this time before the seal c an be
set in the stuffing box.
e) Temporarily wrap Teflon tape on the shaft
threads to protect the seal from damage while
being slid on the shaft.
f) CAREFULLY slip the seal (4200) onto the shaft
(2100) and slide it down until it sets into the
stuffing box (4100). DO NOT SET THE SEAL
AT THIS TIME.
g) Slip the gland (4120.2) over top the stuffing box.
Leave the gland and seal (4200) loose on the
shaft for now.
h) Reassemble the bearing bracket (3130), then
the thrust bearing assembly (3712, 3031), thrust
bearing holder (3110) , and f inall y the support
head (3160).
i) The impeller must be set before the seal. Follow
the directions listed in section 5.3.
j) Now the seal can be set. For the proper seal
setting consult Figures 5.1 and 5.2. If the seal
being used is not contained in the seal settings
chart, follow the seal manufacturer's instructions
and drawings furnished with the mechanical
seal.
Seals must never be run without
lubrication. Abrasive lubrication will greatly
reduce seal life.

5.1.2.2 Packing the stuffing box
Inspect the stuffing box to see if it contains packing.
The pump normally leaves the factory with the
stuffing box unpacked, and it must be packed before
the pump is put into service. A complete set of
packing cut to proper lengths is included with other
loose parts in a box attached to the pump skid. The
stuffing box should be packed in the following
manner:
a) Remove (or raise out of the way) the stuffing box
gland.
b) Carefully clean the stuffing box (with a lint free
doth) clear of any scale build up and foreign
matter which may have entered during shipment
or storage.
c) In packing the stuffing box put in one ring at a
time, pushing it well into place. Two rings of
packing must be installed, and then the seal
cage, then succeeding rings of packing until the
box is filled. THE JOINTS OF SUCCEEDING
RINGS MUST BE STAGGERED. See Figure 5.3
for additional packing information.
d) After the last ring of packing is in place, draw up
the nuts on the gland (4120.1) evenly finger
tight, then tighten nuts an extra 1/4 turn to initially
set the packing. A slight amount of leakage
through the gland is necessary for proper
lubrication. Packing glands must never be
tightened to the point where leakage from the
packing is stopped.
e) Preserve any left over packing for future use.
After the packing has been compressed under
operating conditions, there may be enough room
to allow another ring to be inserted.
255
There is a tapped hole leading into
the stuffing box for the purpose of sealing the
packing with liquid or grease. When the packing is
compressed, the seal cage must be in line with this
passage.
Shutting off leakage flow from the
packin g wi ll result in bur ned packing and scored
shafts.

5.2 Bearing Lubrication
Operation of the unit without proper
lubrication can result in overheating of the bearings,
bearing failures, pump seizures and actual breakup of
the equipment exposing operation personnel to
personal injury.
Check to see that connections are made to
lubrication fittings at pump manifold (3869) on
mounting plate (6110).
5.2.1 Line Shaft Bearings
Check to see that no damage has occurred to any
lubrication lines above and below the mounting plate
(6110) during shipment or installation. For number of
bearings, refer to Figure 5-5 on next page.
5.2.1.1 External Flush Lubrication
a) Clean cool [<70C (160F)] liquid from an external
source must be used when pumps are furnished
with external flush lubrication connections.
b) Check to see that connections are made to
lubrication fittings on pump manifold (3869) on
mounting plate (6110) and that 1.9 LPM (0.5
gpm) of flushing fluid per bearing (See Figure 5-
5) at 1.4 kg/cm
sump pressure.
bearings be wet at all times during operation.
5.2.1.2 Product Lubrication
When conditions warrant, the pump can be furnished
with provisions for pumped product bearing
lubrication. This is accomplished by means of a
lubrication line from the discharge flange of the pump
casing (1100) to the adapter bearing (3020.2), while
the rest of the lines are run from the manifold (3869)
on the pump mounting plate (2025). In the case of a
pumped-product lubricated pump with separators
furnished, all lube lines will be run from the pump
manifold (3869).
a) Check to see that connections are made to
lubrication fittings at pump manifold (3869) on
mounting plate (6110) and for the adapter
(1340.1) bearing (3020.2).
b) Check that 1.9 LPM (0.5 gpm) of pumped liquid
per bearing (See Figure 5-5) at 1.4 kg/cm
PSIG) for standard pr o duct lubricated pumps or
1.8 kg/cm
separators is available.

5.2.1.3 Grease Lubrication
Pumps furnished with grease lubricated shaft
bearings (3020.1&.2) will leave the fac tor y with lube
lines (3840.1) and bearings (3020.1&.2) already
packed with grease. The grease used will be of a
water- resistant nature. Each bearing should be
regreased prior to start-up through the grease fittings
located in the manifold (3869) on the pump mounting
plate (6110). Grease must be insoluble in the liquid
being pumped. The recommended grease to be used
is Keystone 81 EP-2 or an equivalent. Keystone 81
EP-2 is the grease that is packed in the bearing
lubrication lines before the pump leaves the factory.
Consult local lubricant suppliers for the type of grease
most compatible with the liquid being pumped. The
grease lubrication system is the same as the external
flush system with the exception of the manifold
(3869). For grease lubrication the manifold contains
grease fittings while the external flush manifold
contains fluid line taps.
5.2.2 Thrust Bearing
The external thrust bearing will either be a
regreaseable bearing (3031), in which case it will
leave the factory with grease already packed, or it will
be a shielded bearing (greased-for-life). For a
regreaseable thrust bearing, it is suggested that the
bearing be dregreased before starting the unit. A
moisture-resistant, lithium-base grease of Number 2
consistency should be used. A shielded bearing will
not need to be degreased, but will need to be
replaced when it becomes excess ivel y worn.
Any unusual nois e or vibratio n fro m the thrust
bearing may mean the beari ng is rea dy for repla cement
and the pump should be dismantled and bearing
checked, and/or replaced.
5.2.3 Driver Bearings
Driver Bearings should be regreased before starting
the pump. Consult the manufacturer's directions for
lubricating instructions .

utilized. Follow the manufacturer’s instruction for
proper use. Lubrication intervals and amounts can be
in Figures 5-6a and 5-6b.
Flowserve offers two lubrication systems that
significantly extend the line shaft bearing lubrication
intervals. Individual 2 oz. grease cups per line shaft

additional information.
5.3 Setting the Impeller Clearance
a) If not already done, turn off driver power and
lock it out so that the driver cannot be started
during impeller (2200) setting.
b) Rotate the shaft (2100) so that the impeller
adjustment key (6700.3) is toward you.
c) Remove the retaining ring (2530.2) and key
(6700.3) from the adjusting sleeve (1881).
d) Holding the shaft (2100) steady, turn the
adjusting sleeve (3712) counterclockwise until
the impeller (2200) is resting against the running
face of the casing (1100).
e) Back the impeller (2200) off the casing (1100) by
rotating the adjusting sleeve (3712) clockwise so
that the next slot lines up with one of the shaft
keyways:
For Groups 1 and 2, continue to rotate the sleeve
(3712) in the same direction for another four or five
combinations of shaft keyway/sleeve slots (22.5
degrees each - the ke ywa y that lines up will alter nat e
as the sleeve (3712) is turned).
For Group 3, continue to rotate the sleeve (3712) in
the same direction for six or seven more
combinations of shaft keyway/sleeve slots (the
keyway that lines up will alternate as the sleeve
(3712) is turned).
f) Install the impeller adjustment key (6700.3) and
retaining ring (2530.2) back into position.
g) Check for freedom of shaft (2100) rotation by
turning by hand.
Grease for life bearings
Double shielded or double sealed bearings
These bearings are packed with grease by the
bearing manufacturer and should not be relubricated.
The replacement interval for these bearings is greatly
affected by their operating temperature and speed.
Shielded bearings typically operate cooler.

ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
5.4 Direction of rotation
5.4.1 Rotation check
It is absolutely essential that the
rotation of the motor be checked before connecting
the shaft coupling. Incorrect rotation of the pump, for
even a short time, can dislodge and damage the
impeller, casing, shaft and shaft seal. All ESP pumps
turn clockwise as viewed from the motor end. A
direction arrow is cast on the front of the casing and
support head [3160] as shown in Figure 5-7. Make
sure the motor rotates in the same direction.
FIGURE 5-7
5.4.2 Coupling installation
Turn off the driver power and lock it
out so that the driver cannot be started during the
coupling assembly.
The coupling should be installed as
advised by the coupling manufacturer. Pumps are
shipped without the spacer installed. If the spacer
has been installed to facilitate alignment, then it must
be removed prior to checking rotation. Remove all
protective material from the coupling and shaft before
installing the coupling.
5.5 Guarding
Power must never be applied to the
driver when the coupling guard is not installed.
The pump must not be operated
without an approved coupling guard in place. Failure
to observe this warning could result in injury to
operating personnel.
Flowserve coupling guards are safety devices intended
to protect workers from inherent dangers of the rotating
pump shaft, motor shaft and coupling.
It is intended to prevent entry of hands, fingers or other
body parts into a point of hazard by reaching through,
over, under or around the guard. No standa rd coupli ng
guard provides complete protection from a
disintegrating co upling . Flowse rve cannot guarantee
their guards will completely contain an exploding
coupling.
For ESP pumps, install the coupling guard with the
connecting hardware.
5.6 Priming and auxiliary supplies
The fluid moving components (casing, impeller, and
adaptor) of ESP pumps should be submerged during
normal operation, so priming is not an issue.
Depending on the bearing lubrication options and the
shaft sealing options, some auxiliary supply lines may
need to be brought to the ESP pump. Check to see if
any other connections need to be made to pump,
such as injection water to stuffing box for seal or
packing lubrication (when furnished) and make the
required connections.
5.7 Starting the pump
All steps within section 4.0 “INSTALLATION” and
section 5.1 "PRE-COMMISSION PROCEDURE"
must be complete before initiating the pump starting
procedure.
To avoid pump da mage or inju ry to
operating personnel during start-up and operation:
•DO NOT operate the pump outsid e of de sign
parameters.
•DO NOT run with a closed discharge for more than
one minute.
•DO NOT operate with sa fety device s (i.e. coupli ng
guard) removed.
•DO NOT run the pump dry.
After all pre-starting checks have been performed, the
pump is ready to start. Observe the following procedu re
to put the pump into ope ration:
a) Rotate the pump shaft by hand through at lea st one
complete revolution to see that the re is no rub or
bind.
b) Check the discharge piping and destination of the
flow.
c) Check the sump liquid level. Liquid level mus t be
sufficient enough to engul f the casin g and adap ter
d) Close, or leave open very slightly, t he control valve in
the discharge line.
e) If external flush-lubricated bearings are used, turn on
water supply to the bearings.
Page 32 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
f) Turn on other au xiliary lines (if r equired) such as
stuffing box injection or mechanical seal flush.
g) Start the driver. If othe r than motor drive, bring the
pump up to speed quickly .
h) As soon as the pump is up to rated spe ed, open the
discharge valve slowly, to desired capacity or
pressure keeping in mind the minimum
continuous flow listed in section 3.4.
i) Check all joints and mechanical seal (if
furnished) for leakage.
j) If packing is furnished, adjust the packing gland
and flush flow.
k) Check for excessive vibration.
l) Monitor bearing temperature until it stabilizes.
It is i mportant that the discharge val ve be
opened within a short inte rval afte r sta rting the drive r.
Failure to do this coul d cause a dang erous build up of
heat, and possibly an explo sion.
5.8 Running or operation
5.8.1 Operating Checks
Costly shut-downs will be avoided by making routine
checks on pump operation.
a) Check to see if liquid is being discharged. A
discharge pressure gauge is an easy way to
check whether or not the liquid is being pumped.
If, at any time, the gauge should drop to zero, or
register an abnormally high pressure, shut down
the pump immediately.
b) Observe pump for any abnormal noise or
vibration. Especially check for any CHANGE in
pump noise or vibration.
c) Bearing lubricating liquid or grease and sealing
and cooling liquid flows, should be checked
frequently.
5.8.2 Minimum continuous flow
Minimum continuou s stable flow is the lowe st flow at
which the pump can operate and still meet the bearing
life, shaft deflection and bearing housing vibration limits
documented in the latest version of ASME B73.1M.
Pumps may be operated at lower flows, but it must be
recognized that the pump may exceed one or more of
these limits. For example, vibration may exceed the
limit set by the ASME standard. The size of the pump,
the energy absorbed, and the liquid pumped are some
of the considerations in determining the minimum
continuous flow (MCF).
The minimum continuous flow (capacity) is established
as a percentage of the best efficiency point (BEP). (See
section 3.4.1.)
5.8.3 Minimum thermal flow
All ESP pumps also have a minimum thermal flow.
This is defined as the minimum flow that will not
cause an excessive temperature rise. Minimum
thermal flow is application dependent.
Do not operate the pump below
minimum thermal flow, as this could cause an excessive
temperature rise. Contact a Flowserve sales engineer
for determination o f mini mum thermal flow .
Avoid running a c en tri fugal pu mp at d ras ti cally reduced
capacities or w it h di schar ge valve closed for extended
periods of time. This can cause severe temperature
rise and the li qui d in t he pu mp may reach i t s boil ing
point. If this occurs, the mechanical seal will be
exposed to vapor, with no lub ricati on , and may score or
seize to the stationa ry parts . Continued ru nning unde r
these conditions when the suctio n valve i s also closed
can create an explosiv e conditio n due to the confined
vapor at high pressure and temperature.
Thermostats may be used to sa fegua rd again st
overheating by shutting down t he pu mp at a
predetermined temperature.
Safeguards should also be taken again st possible
operation with a closed discharge valve, such as
installing a bypass back to the suction source. The size
of the bypass line and the requi red by pass flow rate is a
function of the input horsepower and the allowable
temperature rise. The bypass line must alway s enter the
sump (pit) at a point below the li quid level to prev ent air
entrainment.
5.8.4 Reduced head
Note that when discharge head drops, the pump’s
flow rate usually increases rapidly. Check motor for
temperature rise as this may cause overload. If
overloading occurs, throttle the discharge.
5.8.5 Surging condition
A rapidly closing discharge valve can cause a
damaging pressure surge. A dampeni ng
arrangement should be provided in t he pi ping.
5.8.6 Operation in sub-freezing conditions
When using the pump in sub-freezing conditions
where the pump is periodically idle, the pump should
be properly drained or protected with thermal devices
which will keep the liquid in the pump from freezing.
The pump unit must not be operated
above the nameplate conditions. Such operation
could result in unit failure and injury to personnel.

5.8.7 Normal vibration levels, alarm and trip
Alarm and trip values for installed pumps should be
based on the actual measurements (N) taken on site
on the motors of vertical pumps in fully commissioned
as new condition. The example (N) value is given for
the preferred operating flow region (typically this may
extend to 70 to 120% of the pump best efficiency
point); outside the preferred flow region the actual
vibration experienced may be multiplied by up to two.
These standard values can vary with the rotational
speed and the power absorbed by the pump. For any
special case, contact your nearest Flowserve office.
Measuring vibration at regular intervals will show any
deterioration in pump or system operating conditions.
5.9 Stopping and shutdown
The pump should be shut down
rapidly, especially on pumps equipped with productlubricated bearings.
Pumps driven by electric motors do not require any
special shut-down procedure. If turbine drive is used,
the operator must manually trip the over speed trip to
obtain rapid shut-down. Close the gate valve in the
discharge line if maintenance work is to be done on
pump.
5.10 Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical
duty
5.10.1 Net positive suction head (NPSH)
Net positive suctio n head - available (NPSH
measure of the energy in a liquid above the vapor
pressure. It is used to determine the likelihood that a
fluid will vaporize in the pump. It is critical because a
centrifugal pump is designed to pump a liqui d, not a
vapor. Vaporiz ati on in a pump w ill r e sult i n da mage to
the pump, deterioration of the Total differential head
(TDH), and possibly a complete stopping of pumping.
Net positive suction head - required (NPSH
decrease of fluid energy between the inlet of the
pump, and the point of lowest pressure in the pump.
This decrease occurs because of friction losses and
fluid accelerations in the inlet region of the pump and
particularly accelerations as the fluid enters the
impeller vanes. The value for NPSH

whichever is greater.
Ensuring that NPSHA is larger than
NPSH
by the suggested margin will greatly enhance
R
pump performance and reliability. It will also reduce
the likelihood of cavitation, which can severely
damage the pump.
5.10.2 Specific gravity (SG)
Pump capacity and total head in meters (feet) of
liquid do not change with SG, however pressure
displayed on a pressure gauge is directly proportional
to SG. Power absorbed is also directly proportion al
to SG. It is therefore important to check that any
change in SG will not overload the pump driver or
over pressurize the pump.
5.10.3 Viscosity
For a given flow rate the total head reduces with
increased viscosity and increases with reduced
viscosity. Also for a given flow rate the power
absorbed increases with the increased viscosity, and
reduces with reduced viscosity. It is important that
checks are made with your nearest Flowserve office if
changes in viscosity are planned.

5.10.5 Minimum submergence
Each ESP pump has a minimum submergence
depending on the design conditions of that pump.
See Figure 3-3 in section 3.4 to determine the
minimum submergence based upon pump flow and
suction size. All minimum submergence values are
taken from the bottom of the strainer.
If a tailpipe (1428) is used, the sump
(pit) liquid level must engulf the casing and adapter
wcompletely during start-up.

6 MAINTENANCE
It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure
that all maintenance, inspection and as s embly work
is carried out by authorize d and qualifie d per sonne l
who have adequately familiarized themselves with
the subject matter by studying this manual in detail.
(See also section 1.6.2.)
Any work on the machine must be performed when it
is at a standstill. It is imperative that the proced ure
for shutting down the machine is followed, as
described in section 5.9 and that the driver power
supply is locked.
On completion of work all guards and safety devices
must be re-installed and made opera ti ve aga in.
Before restarting the machine, the relevant
instructions listed in section 5, Commissioning, start up, operation and shut down must be observed.
Oil and grease leaks may make the ground
slippery. Machine maintenance must always
begin and finish by cleaning the ground a n d the
exterior of the machine.
If platforms, stairs and guard rails are required for
maintenance, they must be placed for easy access to
areas where maintenance and inspection are to be
carried out. The positioning of these accessories
must not limit access or hinder the lifting of the part to
be serviced.
When air or compressed inert gas is used in the
maintenance process, the operat or and an yone in the
vicinity must be careful and have the appropriate
protection. Do not spray air or compressed inert gas
on skin. Do not direct an air or gas jet towards other
people. Never use air or compressed inert gas to
clean clothes.
Before working on the pump, take measures to
prevent the pump from being accidentally started.
Place a warning sign on the starting device:
"Machine under repair: do not start."
With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch
open and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning sign on
the fuse box or main switch:
"Machine under repair: do not connect."
Never clean equipment with flammable solvents or
carbon tetrachloride. Protect yourself against toxic
fumes when using cleaning agents.
Refer to the parts list shown in section 8 for item
number references used throughout this section.
6.1 Maintenance schedule
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule be implemented, in accordance with these
User Instructions, to include the following:
a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be monitored,
if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.
b) Gland packing must be adjusted correctly to give
visible leakage and concentric alignment of the
gland follower to prevent excessive temperature
of the packing or follower.
c) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals. The
correct functioning of the shaft seal must be
checked regularly.
d) Check bearing lubricant level, and the remaining
hours before a lubricant change is required.
e) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump.
f) Check vibration, noise level and surface
temperature at the bearings to confirm
satisfactory operation.
g) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas
around close clearances, bearing housings and
motors.
6.1.1 Preventive maintenance
The following sections of this manual give instructions
on how to perform a complete maintenance overhaul.
However, it is also important to periodically repeat the
Pre start-up checks listed in section 5.1. These
checks will help extend pump life as well as the
length of time between major overhauls.
6.1.2 Need for maintenance records
A procedure for keeping accurate maintenance
records is a critical part of any program to improve
pump reliability. There are many variables that can
contribute to pump failures. Often long term and
repetitive problems can only be solved by analyzing
these variables through pump maintenance records.
6.1.3 Cleanliness
One of the major causes of pump failure is the
presence of contaminants in the bearing housing.
This contamination can be in the form of moisture,
dust, dirt and other solid particles such as metal
chips. Contamination can also be harmful to the
mechanical seal (especially the seal faces) as well as
other parts of the pump. For example, dirt in the
impeller threads could cause the impeller to not be
seated properly against the shaft. This, in turn, could
cause a series of other problems.
For these reasons, it is very important that proper
cleanliness be maintained. Some guidelines are
listed below.
Page 35 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
•The work area should be clean and free from
dust, dirt, oil, grease etc.
• Hands and gloves should be clean.
• Only clean towels, rags and tools should be
used.
6.2 Spare parts
The decision on what spare parts to stock varies greatly
depending on many factors such as the criticality of the
application, t he ti me requi r ed to buy a nd re ceive n ew
spares, the erosive/corrosive nature of the application,
and the cost of the spare part. Section 8 identifies all of
the components that make up each pump addressed in
this manual.
6.2.1 Ordering of spare parts
Flowserve keeps records of all pumps that have been
supplied. Spare parts can be ordered from your local
Flowserve sales engineer or from a Flowserve

Exceeding metal joint torque values is not recommended.
6.6 Setting impeller clearan ce and
impeller replacement
A new impeller o-ring [4610] must be installed
whenever the impeller has been removed from the
shaft. Impeller clearance settings may be found in
section 5.3. Impeller balancing instruction may be
found in section 6.8.
Do not adjust the impeller clearance with the seal set.
Doing so may result in seal leakage and/or damage.
non-lubricated
6.7.1 Removing pump from pit
a) Close control valve in discharge line.
b) Lock out power supply to driver.
c) Disconnect all electrical connections.
d) Disconnect any external auxiliary piping
connections.
e) Disconnect discharge piping from pump.
f) Disconnect coupling guard and coupling halves.
g) Disconnect driver and remove.
h) Unbolt pump mounting plate (6110) and lift
pump (see Sections 2.3 and 4.4) from pit. Let
the pump drain thoroughly before removing
pump completely. Remove casing drain, if
supplied.
The impeller could have sharp edges,
which could cause an injury. It is very important to
wear heavy gloves when handling an impeller.
i) Remove liquid level controls (if any).
j) Lift the pump (see Sections 2.3 and 4.4) out of
the pit and lay pump horizontally on supports.

It is recommended that two people
install a Group 3 impeller. The weight of a Group 3
impeller greatly increases the chance of thread
damage and subsequent lock-up concerns.
Do not attempt to tighten the impeller
on the shaft by hitting the impeller with a hammer or
any other object or by inserting a pry bar between the
impeller vanes. Serious damage to the impeller may
result from such actions.
Install the impeller [2200] by screwing it onto the shaft
(use heavy gloves) until it firmly seats against the
shaft shoulder.
6.7 Disassembly
Use extreme care in removing and dismantling pump.
Refer to pump assembly drawings for part
nomenclature (see Sect ion 8).
Depending on the product being
pumped, the pump should be washed down and
decontaminated before any work is done on it.
For units that are welded, the welded
sections should not be disassembled unless the parts
need to be replaced.
6.7.2 Pump disassembly
a) Pump discharge pipe removal
•For Groups 1 and 2 and 6x4x13: unscrew the
flange (1245.2), locknut (3712), and loosen
the lower locknut. Then the upper discharge
pipe (1360) can be unscrewed.
•For Group 3 pumps (except the 6x4x13):
unscrew the flange (1245.2). These pumps
are furnished with the discharge pipe bolted
to the mounting plate by a flange (1245.3)
and four screws (6570.11). Remove the
screws holding the flange to the mounting
plate (6110).
•Both: the discharge pipe (1360) can then be
removed by unbolting the elbow (1371) from
the discharge of the casing (1100) and
pulling the discharge pipe out from the under
side of the mounting plate (6110).
Page 38 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
b) Remove bearing lubrication lines (3840.1).
c) Unbolt and remove the pump casing (1100).
The strainer (6531) does not need to be
removed from the casing unless it is to be
cleaned or replaced.
d) Remove the impeller (2200) by unscrewing it
counter-clockwise (looking in at the vanes) while
holding the drive coupling with a strap wrenc h.
Do not attempt to use a crowbar as a lever to
unscrew the impeller as damage to the vanes
may result. Use a strap wrench or a piece of
wood as a mallet. The impeller threads are
sealed by an O-ring (4610) which should then be
replaced.
e) Removing the thrus t bear ing:
•Pumps without Vapor Proof or Pressurized
Construction: remove the thrust bearing by
first unbolting the support head (3160). For
groups 1 and 2 the support head will be
disconnected from the mounting plate (6110)
and for group 3 the support head will be
disconnected from the upper column
(1341.1).
Before the next procedure, be sure to
cover the shaft threads with a Teflon tape for
protection when sliding parts off the shaft to prevent
the shaft threads from being damaged or causing
damage to other parts.
f) Unbolt the gland and carefully slide it off the end
of the shaft. If the pump contains a seal, VERY
CAREFULLY, slide the seal off of the shaft. If
the pump contains packing remove the packing
at this time.
g) Now the stuffing box can be unbolted and
removed gently from the shaft.
h) A shaft-bullet (See Figure 6-3) is recommended,
but not required, for the next step. If a shaft
bullet is to be used, attach the bullet in place of
the impeller (2200). Remove the shaft (2100)
from the remainder of the pump.
FIGURE 6.3 Shaft
bullets
For Group 3 pumps, any columns still
attached to the pump at this time must be firmly
supported. The upper column will disconnect from
the mounting plate at the same time that the support
head is disconnected.
•Now remove the thrust bearing holder (3110)
and the thrust bearing assembly (3031, 3712)
by unscrewing the sleeve (3712) from the
shaft (2100).
•Pumps with Vapor Proof or Pressurized
Construction: first remove the support head
(3160) from the bearing bracket (3130). Next
remove the bearing body (3110) and the
thrust bearing assembly (3031, 3712) by
unscrewing the sleeve (3712) from the shaft
(2100). For groups 1 and 2 the bearing
bracket will be disconnected from the
mounting plate (6110) and for group 3 the
bearing bracket will be disconnected from the
upper column (1341.1).
For Group 3 pumps, any columns still
attached to the pump at this time must be firmly
supported. The upper column will disconnect from
the mounting plate at the same time that the support
head is disconnected.
Groups 1, 2, and 6x4x13
Always remove the shaft by pulling it
out through the mounting plate end as shaft threads
may cause damage to the lineshaft bearings if pulled
through the casing end.
i) Unbolt and remove the adapter (1340.1).
j) Unbolt and remove the columns (1341.2) and
the bearing holders (3250) until the upper
column is reached (1341.1).
k) The shaft bearings should not be removed from
their housings unless they are to be replaced.
Table 6.1 shows a listing of allowable bearing
tolerances. If these tolerances are exceeded,
either the bearings (3020.1-.2), shaft (2100), or
bearing holder (3250) should be replaced.
l) Intermediate shaft bearings (3020.1) can be
pressed or driven out of their bearing holder
(3250) when replacing.
m) The adapter bearing (3020.2) may be removed
by pressing or driving the bearing sleeve from
the upper flange (column side) out through the
lower end (casing side) of the adapter (1340.1)
taking the seal ring (2500) with it.

6.8 Examination of parts
6.8.1 Cleaning/inspection
All parts should now be thoroughly cleaned and
inspected. New bearings, O-rings, gaskets, and lip
seals must be used. Any parts that show wear or
corrosion should be replaced with new genuine
Flowserve parts.
It is i mpo rtant t hat only non-flammable,
non-contaminated cleani ng fluid s are used. The se
fluids must comply with plant safety and environmental
guidelines.
a) Inspect impeller (2200) for excessive wear and
etching due to corrosion. Large nicks and deep
pits will unbalance the impeller and cause
vibration and wear in other parts of the pump.
Be sure the o-ring (4610) sealing surface and
impeller threads are clean.
b) Check pump shaft (2100) for straightness.
c) Inspect the surface of the shaft in the bearing
(3020.1-.2) areas to make sure it is smooth. It
must be free of grooves, scratches, corrosion or
wear.
d) Check ends of shaft for burrs. Make sure that
shaft threads are clean.
e) Inspect the casing (1100) thoroughly, removing
all burrs and foreign matter. Check hydraulic
passages for cleanliness.
f) Check all other parts for burrs, wear, damage or
corrosion.
g) Use a dial indicator to check the straightness of
the shaft extension of the driver and check
indicator readings against the values given in
Figure 6-5. Should any of these limits be
exceeded, check with the driver manufacturer
for recommended repair or replacement parts.

adapter (1340.1) and intermediate bearing
holder(s) (3250). Check for cracks, uneven or
excessive wear, scoring or heat discol oration,
and corrosion. Bearings should be replaced as
described in Section 6.7.2.
6.8.2 Critical measurements and tolerances
To maximize reliability of pumps, it is important that
certain parameters and dimensions are measured
and maintained within specified tolerances. It is
important that all parts be checked. Any parts that do
not conform to the specifications should be replaced
with new Flowserve parts.
6.8.3 Parameters that should be checked by
users
Flowserve recommends that the user check the
measurements and tolerances in Figure 6-6
whenever pump maintenance is performed. Each of
these measurements is described in more detail on
the following pages.
6.8.3.1 Shaft
Replace if grooved, pitted or worn, especially where
the shaft rides in the sleeve bearings.
6.8.3.2 Bearings
It is recommended that rolling element bearings not
be used after removal from the shaft.
6.8.3.3 Impeller balancing
Shaft whip is deflection where the centerline of the
impeller is moving around the true axis of the pump.
It is not caused by hydraulic force but rather by an
imbalance with the rotating element. Shaft whip is
very hard on the mechanical seal because the faces
must flex with each revolution in order to maintain
contact.
To minimize shaft whip it is imperative that the
impeller is balanced. All impellers manufactured by
Flowserve are balanced after they are trimmed. If for
any reason, a customer trims an impeller, it must be
re-balanced. See note 1 under Figure 6-19 regarding
acceptance criteria.
6.8.3.4 Vibration analysis
Vibration analysis is a type of condition monitoring
where a pump’s vibration “signature” is monitored on
a regular, periodic basis. The primary goal of
vibration analysis is extension on MTBPM. By using
this tool Flowserve can often determine not only the
existence of a problem before it becomes serious, but
also the root cause and possible solution.
Modern vibration analysis equipment not only detects
if a vibration problem exists, but can also suggest the
cause of the problem. On a centrifugal pump, these
causes can include the following: unbalance,
misalignment, defective bearings, resonance,
hydraulic forces, cavitation and recirculation. Once
identified, the problem can be corrected, leading to
increased MTBPM for the pump.
Flowserve strongly urges customers to work with an
equipment supplier or consultant to establish an ongoing vibration analysis program. See section 5.8.7
for guidance on vibration monitoring.resfdb

2900 rpm: 20 g∙mm/kg (3600 rpm: 0.011 oz-in/lb) of mass.
Flowserve performs a single plane spin balance on most
impellers. The following impellers are exceptions: 10X8-13,
10X8-15. On t hese Flowserve performs a two plane dynamic
balance, as required by the ASME B73.1M standard. All
balancing, whether single or two plane, is performed to the ISO
1940 Grade 6.3 tolerance criteria.
2. The ASME B73.1M standard does not specify a recommended
level of alignment. Flowserve recommends that the pump and
motor shafts be aligned to within 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) parallel FIM
(full indicator movement) and 0.0005 mm/mm (0.0005 in./in.)
angular FIM. Closer alignment will extend MTBPM.

6.9 Assembly of pump and seal
It is important that all pipe t hr e ad s be
sealed properly. PTFE tape provides a very reliable
seal over a wide range of fluids, but it has a serious
shortcoming i f not in s tall ed pro pe rly . I f, du ring
application to t he thre ad s, the t ape i s w rapped ov er the
end of the male thread, strings of the tape will be
formed when threaded into the female fitting. These
strings can t hen t ea r away and lodge in the pip ing
system.
If this occurs in the seal flush system, small orifices can
become blocked effectively shutting off flow. For this
reason, Flowserve does not recommend the use of
PTFE tape as a thread sealant.
Flowserve has investigated and tested alternate
sealants and has identified two that provide an
effective seal, have the same chemical resistance as
the tape, and will not plug flush systems. These are
La-co Slic-Tite and Bakerseal. Both products contain
finely ground PTFE particles in an oil based carrier.
They are supplied in a paste form which is brushed
onto the male pipe threads. Flowserve recommends
using one of these paste sealants.
Full thread length engagement is required for all
fasteners.

During reassembly be sure to use new gaskets and
o-rings.
6.9.1 Replacing shaft sleeve bearings
a) After removing the old intermediate bearings
(3020.1) (see section 6.7.2) clean and deburr
bearing holder bore. Appl y a light coating of
grease or oil to bearing holder bore and out-side
diameter of new bearing. Carefully press new
bearing into holder to "A" dimension in Figure 6-
7.
b) After removing the adapter bearing (3020.2) (see
section 6.7.2) clean and deburr adapter bore.
Apply a light coating of grease or oil to bearing
holder bore and outside diameters of new
bearings. Carefully press the sealing ring and new
bearing, respectively, into adapter to "A" dimension
in Figure 6-8.
c) Be sure that all bearings (3020.1-.2) are now
within their bearing holders (3250, 1340.1).
Page 42 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
6.9.2 Inserting the shaft using a “shaft bullet”
(see Figure 6-3)
a) Standard and vapor tight construction:
connect the upper column (1341.1) to the
mounting plate (6110). For Group 3, the upper
column and support head (3160) must be bolted
to the mounting plate at the same time. Vapor proof or pressurized construction: replace the
upper column gasket (4590.5) and reconnect the
upper column (1341.1) to the mounting plate
(6110). For Group 3, the bearing bracket (3130)
must be bolted to the mounting plate at the
same time.
b) If intermediate bearings are used, reconnect the
columns (1341.2) and intermediate bearing
holders (3250).
c) Bolt the adapter (1340.1) back onto the last
column in the pump.
d) Screw the shaft bullet onto the end of the shaft
(2100) at the impeller end.
Always insert the shaft from the
mounting plate side o f the pump. Neve r insert it from
the adapter side because shaft threads may cause
damage to the internal bearings.
e) All designs (excluding Group 3 vapor proof
and pressurized): the pump shaft (2100)
should now be inserted into the pump from the
mounting plate side. For Group 3 vapor proof and pressurized designs: if the lip seal
(4310.1) is still in the bearing bracket (3130),
remove it at this time. Slide the shaft (2100)
through the bearing bracket and down through
the columns. Once the shaft has cleared the
bearing bracket, replace or reins ert the lip seal
into the bearing bracket.
6.9.3 Inserting the shaft without “shaft bullet”
a) Standard and vapor tight construction:
connect the upper column (1341.1) to the
mounting plate (6110). For Group 3, the upper
column and support head (3160) must be bolted
to the mounting plate at the same time. Vapor proof or pressurized construction: replace the
upper column gasket (4590.5) and reconnect the
upper column (1341.1) to the mounting plate
(6110). For Group 3, the bearing bracket (3130)
must be bolted to the mounting plate at the
same time.
b) All designs except Group 3 vapor proof and
pressurized: insert the shaft from the motor
side of the pump through the starter column
(1341.1) until the shaft threads (for the thrust
bearing - 3031) are about 3 inches from the
starter column. For Group 3 vapor proof and pressurized: if the lip seal (4310.1) is still within
the bearing bracket (3130), remove it at this
time. Insert the shaft from the motor side of the
pump through the bearing bracket (3130) and
starter column (1341.1) until the shaft threads
(for the thrust bearing - 3031) are about 3 inches
from the starter column. Replace or reinsert the
lip seal (4310.1) into the bearing bracket (3130).
c) Slide the first bearing holder (3250), with bearing
in place, onto the end of the shaft (2100).
d) If intermediate bearings are used, then slide the
rest of the columns (1341.2) and bearings
(3020, 3250) onto the pump.
e) If no intermediate bearings are used on pump,
or after they have all been installed, then slide
the adapter (1340.1) onto the shaft (2100) and
bolt to the starter column (1341.1).
6.9.4 Impeller installation
a) Insert a new o-ring (4610) at base of impeller
(2200) threads.
b) Apply a light coat of grease or oil to impeller
threads as to allow for ease of disassembly in
the future.
c) Using a strap wrench to hold the drive coupling,
screw impeller (2200) onto the end of the pump
shaft (2100) clockwise until snugly fit.
Do not attempt to use a crowbar as a
lever as damage to the vanes may result.
6.9.5 Thrust Bearing Reassembly
(Vapor proof and pressurized designs)
Cover the shaft threads with a Teflon
tape to prevent them from causing internal damage to
other components.
•For Group 1 and 2 pumps: Reattach the
stuffing box (4100) to the upper column. See
section 6.9.6 “Packing" or section 6.9.7
"Mechanical Seal" for next steps.
It is important that the shaft and columns
are well supported after the shaft is partially inserted or
bending in the shaft may occur.
Page 43 of 64
ESP2 USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH PCN-(71569292) 4-12
•For Group 3 pumps: Push the shaft towards
the mounting plate until the threads are lined
up with the top of the column. Insert the
stuffing box (4100) from the side and bolt to
the column. If a mechanical seal is being
used, push the shaft up from the adapter
(1340.1) side while pushing the seal (4200)
and gland (4120.2) onto the Teflon taped
threaded end of the shaft from within the
bearing bracket. If packing (4130) is being
used, push the shaft up from the adapter
(1340.1) end while pushing the gland
(4120.1) onto the Teflon taped threaded en d
of the shaft. Leave the gland (4120.2) and
mechanical seal, if furnished, loose on the
shaft for now. DO NOT SET SEAL AT THIS
TIME. See section 6.9.6 “Packing" or section
6.9.7 "Mechanical Seal" for the next steps.
6.9.5 Packing
a) If the pump is furnished with packing, put one
ring in at a time.
b) Two rings should be inserted and then the seal
cage (4134) and then the succeeding rings of
packing until the box is filled.
The joints of succeeding packing rings
must be staggered and the seal cage must line up
with the passage leading into the stuffing box for
proper lubrication.
c) Now slide the gland (4120.1) over the shaft and
draw up the nuts finger tight, then tighten nuts
an extra 1/4 turn.
d) Reattach the thrust bearing assembly (3031,
3712).
e) Reattach the thrust bearing holder (3110).
f) Reattach the support head (3160).
6.9.5 Mechanical Seal
Cover the shaft threads with a Teflon
tape to prevent them from causing internal damage to
the seal.
a) See section 5.1.2.1 for seal installation
directions.
b) Connect the thrust bearing assembly (3031,
3712).
c) Reattach the thrust bearing holder (3110).
d) Reattach the support head (3160).
6.9.5 Casing and discharge piping
a) Place a new gasket (4590.1) on the gasket face
of the adapter (1340.1) where the adapter and
casing (1100) will lin e u p.
b) Bolt the pump casing to the adapter
c) If the strainer (6531) had been removed for
cleaning or replacement purposes, reattach
strainer to suction flange of the casing.
d) Reconnect all bearing lubrication lines (3840.1).
e) For Groups 1, 2, and6x4x13: At this point the
lower locknut (3712) should be screwed all the
way down the threads on the upper end of the
discharge pipe (1360). The discharge elbow
(1371) should be screwed onto the lower end of
the discharge pipe (if not already). Check to see
if the companion flange (1245.1) is still
connected to the discharge elbow. Next, the
discharge pipe should be slid up through the
mounting plate (6110) until the companion
flange lines up with the discharge flange of the
casing (1100).
To ensure a proper seal at the casing
discharge flange, it is important that the companion
flange is connected to the casing before the upper
locknuts are tightened to against the mounting plate.
f) Replace the gasket (4590.2) between the
companion flange and the discharge flange of
the casing and bolt back together.
g) The upper lock-nut can now be screwed onto
the threads at the upper end of the discharge
pipe and both locknuts can be tightened against
the mounting plate.
h) For Group 3 (excluding 6x4x13): The
discharge pipe is attached the same way to the
casing discharge flange (see step “f” above).
The only difference in the assembly is that the
Group 3 pipes have a flange (1245.3) welded to
the discharge pipe (1360) that bolts to the
underside of the mounting plate (6110).
i) Set the impeller clearance per Section 5.3.
j) See Section 4 and Section 5 for installation and
startup instructions.

7 FAULTS; CAUSES AND REME DIES
The following is a guide to troubleshooting problems for the Flowserve ESP pumps. Common problems are
analyzed and solutions offered. Obviously, it is impossible to cover every possible scenario. If a problem
exists that is not covered by one of the examples, then refer to one of the books listed in section 10 Additional
sources of information or contact a Flowserve sales engineer or distributor/representative for assistance.
FAULT SYMPTOM
No discharge or flow with pump running
Pump operates for short period, then loses prime
Excessive noise from thrust bearing end
Pump uses too much power
Insufficient NPSH. (Noise may not be
present.)
System head greater than anticipated.
Entrained air. Air leak from
atmosphere on suction side.
Entrained gas from process. Process generated gases may require larger pumps.
Direction of rotation wrong.
Impeller too small.
Plugged impeller, strainer or casing
which may be due to a product or
large solids.
Recalculate NPSH available. It must be greater than the NPSH
required by pump at desired flow. If not, redesign suction piping,
holding number of elbows and number of planes to a minimum to
Reduce system head by increasing pipe size and/or reducing
number of fittings. Increase impeller diameter. (Note: Increasing
impeller diameter may require use of a larger motor.)
1. Check for air entrainment sources in the sump.
2. If vortex formation is observed in suction tank, install a vortex
breaker.
After confirming wrong rotation, reverse any two of three leads on
a three phase motor. The pump should be disassembled and
Replace with proper diameter impeller. (NOTE: Increasing
1. Reduce length of fiber when possible.
2. Reduce solids in the process fluid when possible.

the raceways as scoring, pitting,
scratching or rusting caused by
adverse environment and entrance of
abrasive contaminants from
atmosphere.
Speed too high.
Too much flow.
Replace part or parts.
If pump and bearing system has run dry for a long period,
1. Check and reset impeller clearance.
Add sump vortex breakers to avoid adverse fluid rotation as it
approaches the impeller.
1. Work with clean tools in clean surroundings.
2. Remove all outside dirt from housing before exposing bearings.
3. Use clean solvent and flushing oil.
4. Protect disassembled bearing from dirt and moisture.
5. Clean inside of bearing body before replacing bearing.

PROBABLE CAUSES POSSIBLE REMEDIES
Brinelling of bearing identified by
indentation on the ball races, usually
caused by incorrectly applied forces
in assembling the bearing or by shock
loading such as hitting the bearing or
drive shaft with a hammer.
False brinelling of bearing identified
again by either axial or circumferential
indentations usually caused by
vibration of the balls between the
Thrust overload on bearing identified
by flaking ball path on one side of the
outer race or in the case of maximum
capacity bearings, may appear as a
spalling of the races in the vicinity of
the loading slot. These thrust failures
are caused by improper mounting of
Misalignment identified by fracture of
ball retainer or a wide ball path on the
inner race and a narrower cocked ball
path on the outer race. Misalignment
is caused by poor mounting practices
or defective drive shaft. For example,
bearing not square with the centerline
or possibly a bent shaft due to
improper handling.
Bearing damaged by electric arcing
identified as electro- etching of both
inner and outer ring as a pitting or
cratering. Electrical arcing is caused
by a static electrical charge
emanating from belt drives, electrical
leakage or short circuiting.
Bearing damage due to improper
lubrication, identified by one or more
of the following:
1. Abnormal bearing temperature
rise.
2. A stiff cracked grease appearance.
3. A brown or bluish discoloration of
When mounting the bearing on the drive shaft use a proper size
ring and apply the pressure against the inner ring only. Be sure
when mounting a bearing to apply the mounting pressure slowly
and evenly.
1. Correct the source of vibration.
2. Where bearings are oil lubricated and employed in units that
may be out of service for extended periods, the drive shaft should
be turned over periodically to relubricate all bearing surfaces at
Follow correct mounting procedures for bearings.
Handle parts carefully and follow recommended mounting
procedures. Check all parts for proper fit and alignment.
1. Where current shunting through the bearing cannot be
corrected, a shunt in the form of a slip ring assembly should be
incorporated.
2. Check all wiring, insulation and rotor windings to be sure that
they are sound and all connections are properly made.
3. Where pumps are belt driven, consider the elimination of static
charges by proper grounding or consider belt material that is less
generative.
1. Be sure the lubricant is clean.
2. Be sure proper amount of lubricant is used. In the case of
greased lubricated bearings, be sure that there is space adjacent
to the bearing into which it can rid itself of excessive lubricant,
otherwise the bearing may overheat and fail prematurely.
3. Be sure the proper grade of lubricant is used.
