PAGE B -- 2INSTALLATION
0SERIESOM--01216
SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
Pump performance is adversely effected by increased suction lift, discharge elevation, and friction losses. Contact the factory to be sure your
overall application allows pump to operate within
thesafeoperationrange.
Materials
Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and
discharge lines; however, the materials must be
compatiblewiththe liquidbeingpumped. Ifhoseis
used in suction lines, it must be therigid-wall, reinforcedtype to prevent collapseunder suction.Using piping couplings in suction lines is not recommended.
Line Configuration
Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as
possible to minimize friction losses. Make minimum use of elbows and fittings, which substantiallyincreasefriction loss.If elbowsarenecessary,
use the long-radius type to minimize friction loss.
Connections to Pump
Before tightening a connecting flange, align it exactlywith the pump port. Never pulla pipe lineinto
place by tightening the flange bolts and/or couplings.
Lines near the pump must be independently supported to avoid strain on the pump which could
cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life,
and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose-type
linesare used,they shouldhaveadequatesupport
to secure them when filled with liquid and under
pressure.
Gauges
Most pumps are drilled and tapped for installing
discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges.
If these gauges are desired for pumps that a re not
tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge
lines not less than 18 inches from the suction and
discharge ports and install the lines. Installation
closer to the pump may result in erratic readings.
SUCTION LINES
Toavoidair pocketswhichcould affectpump priming, thes uction line must be as short and direct as
possible.Whenoperationinvolvesasuctionlift,the
line must always slope upward to the pump from
the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line
slopes down to the pump at any point along the
suction run, air pockets will be created.
Fittings
Suction lines should be the same size as the pump
inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they
should be the eccentric type, and should be installedwith the flat part of the reducers uppermost
to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not normally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,
install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pockets.
Strainers
If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain
touse it;any sphericalsolidswhichpassthrougha
strainer furnished with the pump will also pass
through the pump itself.
If a strainer is not furnished with the pump, but is
installed by the pump user, make certain that the
total area of the openings in the strainer is at least
three or four times the cross section of the suction
line,and that the openings willnot permit passage
of solids larger than the solids handling capability
of the pump.
Thispump isdesignedtohandle up to 1/2-inchdiameter spherical solids.
Sealing
Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head,
and capacity, especially when operating with a
high suction lift, all connections in the suction line
should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an airtight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting and applying the
pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible
with the liquid being pumped.
Suction Lines In Sumps
If a single suction line is installed in a sump, it
should be positioned away from the wall of the
sumpata distance equal to1 1/2 times the diameter of the suction line.
PAGE B -- 3INSTALLATION
OM--012160SERIES
If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the
sump, the flow should be kept away from the suctioninlet because theinflowwillcarryair downinto
the sump, and air entering the suction line will reduce pump efficiency.
Ifitis necessary to positioninflowclose to the suctioninlet, installa bafflebetween theinflowandthe
suctioninlet at a distance 1-1/2 times the diameter
of the suction pipe. The baffle will allow entrained
air to escape from the liquid before it is drawn into
the suction inlet.
If two suction lines are installed in a single sump,
theflow pathsmay interact,reducing theefficiency
of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the
suction inlets so that they are separated by a distance equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the
suction pipe.
Suction Line Positioning
The depth of submergence of the suction line is
critical toefficient pump operation. Figure 2 shows
recommended minimum submergence vs. veloc-
ity.
NOTE
The pipe submergence required may be reduced
by installing a standard pipe increaserfitting at the
endof the suctionline. The largeropening size will
reduce the inlet velocity. Calculate the required
submergence using the following formula based
on the increased opening size (area or diameter).

FLOAT SWITCHES
Installation
The standard pump is not furnished with a means
to automatically regulate liquid level. However, if
the unit is equipped with the optional auto-start
control system, the pump can be conformed to

a bulb raises or lowers (floats) with the liquid level,
thus activating an enclosed miniature switch. The
floats are equipped with a socket type connector
that plugs into a matching receptacle on the auto start control box.
0SERIESOM--01216
Standard floatsare equipped with 50 feet(15,2m)
of cable.
When installing the floats, note the following:
a. Be sure to provide sufficient room in the wet
well or sump so that floats do not get obstructedordrawn intothesuctionline.Ifaflexible suction hose is used, it may be extended

ing any maintenance. Failure to do so
may result in serious personal injury.
BEARING TEMPERATURE CHECK
Bearingsnormallyrun at highert han ambient temperatures because of heat generated by friction.
Temperatures up to 160_F(71_C) are considered
normalforbearings, andthey canoperatesafelyto
at least 180_F(82_C).
Checkingbearingtemperatures byhand isinaccurate. Bearing temperatures can be measured accurately by placing a contact-type thermometer
against the housing. Record this temperature for
future reference.
A sudden increase in bearing temperatures is a
warning that the bearings are at the pointoffailing
to operate properly.Make certain that the bearing
lubricant is of the proper viscosity and at the correct level (see LUBRICATION in Section E). Bear-
ing overheating can also be caused by shaft
misalignment and/or excessive vibration.
When pumps are first started, the bearings may
seem to run at temperatures above normal. Con tinued operation should bring the temperatures
down to normal levels.
Cold Weather Preservation
In below freezing conditions, drain the pump to
preventdamagefrom freezing. Also,clean outany
solids by flushing w ith a hose. Operate the pump
for approximatelyone minute; this willremove any
remaining liquid that could freeze the pump rotating parts. If the pump will be idle for more than a
few hours, or if it has been pumping liquids containing a large amount of solids, drain the pump,
and flush it thoroughly with clean water .T oprevent
large solids from clogging the drain port and preventing the pump from completely draining, insert
a rod or stiff wire in the drain port, and agitate the
liquid during the draining process. Clean out any
remaining solids by flushing with a hose.
