Precautions
WARNING:
• When installing in a potentially explosive environment, make sure that the motor is properly certified.
• You must earth (ground) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment, the driver, and
any monitoring equipment. Test the earth (ground) lead to verify that it is connected correctly.
NOTICE: Supervision by an authorized ITT representative is recommended to ensure proper installation.
Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
Pump location guidelines
WARNING:
Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support this equipment can
result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift equipment only at the specifically identified
lifting points. Lifting devices such as eyebolts, slings, and spreaders must be rated, selected, and used for
the entire load being lifted.
Guideline Explanation/comment
Keep the pump as close to the liquid source as
practically possible.
Make sure that the space around the pump is
sufficient.
If you require lifting equipment such as a hoist or
tackle, make sure that there is enough space above
the pump.
Protect the unit from weather and water damage
due to rain, flooding, and freezing temperatures.
Do not install and operate the equipment in
closed systems unless the system is constructed
with properly-sized safety devices and control
devices.
Take into consideration the occurrence of
unwanted noise and vibration.
This minimizes the friction loss and keeps the suction
piping as short as possible.
This facilitates ventilation, inspection, maintenance,
and service.
This makes it easier to properly use the lifting
equipment and safely remove and relocate the
components to a safe location.
This is applicable if nothing else is specified.
Acceptable devices:
• Pressure relief valves
• Compression tanks
• Pressure controls
• Temperature controls
• Flow controls
If the system does not include these devices, consult
the engineer or architect in charge before you operate
the pump.
The best pump location for noise and vibration
absorption is on a concrete floor with subsoil
underneath.
If the pump location is overhead, undertake
special precautions to reduce possible noise
transmission.

Installation
Prepare the foundation for mounting
1. Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 1.0 in. (25.0 mm) in order to remove porous or lowstrength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil or other
moisture.
NOTICE: Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation.
2. Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.
3. If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, moldable material. Seal
the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
4. Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste wax in
order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax.
5. If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible primer.
Install the baseplate using shims or wedges
Required tools:
• Two sets of shims or wedges for each foundation bolt
• Two machinist's levels
• Baseplate-leveling worksheet
This procedure is applicable to cast iron and fabricated steel baseplates.
1. If you use sleeve-type bolts, fill the bolt sleeves with packing material or rags to prevent grout from
entering the bolt holes.
2. Put the sets of wedges or shims on each side of each foundation bolt.
The sets of wedges should have a height of between 0.75 in. (19 mm) and 1.50 in. (38 mm).

correct leveling. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
5. Level the baseplate both lengthwise and across by adding or removing shims or moving the wedges.
These are the leveling tolerances:
• A maximum difference of 0.125 in. (3.2 mm) lengthwise
• A maximum difference of 0.059 in. (1.5 mm) across
You can use the baseplate-leveling worksheet when you take the readings.
6. Hand-tighten the nuts for the foundation.
Install the baseplate using jackscrews
Tools required:
• Anti-seize compound
• Jackscrews
• Bar stock
• Two machinist's levels
• Baseplate-leveling worksheet
This procedure is applicable to the feature-fabricated steel baseplate and the advantage base baseplate.
1. Apply an anti-seize compound on the jackscrews.
The compound makes it easier to remove the screws after you grout.
2. Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts and perform these steps:
a) Cut the plates from the bar stock and chamfer the edges of the plates in order to reduce stress
concentrations.
b) Put the plates between the jackscrews and the foundation surface.
c) Use the four jackscrews in the corners in order to raise the baseplate above the foundation.
Make sure that the distance between the baseplate and the foundation surface is between 0.75 in.

Installation
Install the pump, driver, and coupling
1. Mount and fasten the pump on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts.
2. Mount the driver on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts and hand tighten.
3. Install the coupling.
See the installation instructions from the coupling manufacturer.
Pump-to-driver alignment
Precautions
WARNING:
• Follow shaft alignment procedures in order to prevent catastrophic failure of drive components or
unintended contact of rotating parts. Follow the coupling installation and operation procedures from
the coupling manufacturer.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or
maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical
injury.
NOTICE: Proper alignment is the responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check the
alignment of frame-mounted units before you operate the unit. Failure to do so can result in equipment
damage or decreased performance.
Alignment checks
When to perform alignment checks
You must perform alignment checks under these circumstances:
• The process temperature changes.
• The piping changes.
• The pump has been serviced.
Types of alignment checks
Type of check When it is used
Initial alignment (cold alignment)
check
Final alignment (hot alignment)
check
Initial alignment (cold alignment) checks
When Why
Before you grout the baseplate This ensures that alignment can be accomplished.
After you grout the baseplate This ensures that no changes have occurred during the grouting
After you connect the piping This ensures that pipe strains have not altered the alignment.
Prior to operation when the pump and the driver are at ambient
temperature.
After operation when the pump and the driver are at operating
temperature.
process.
If changes have occurred, you must alter the piping to remove pipe
strains on the pump flanges.
Final alignment (hot alignment) checks
When Why
After the first run This ensures correct alignment when both the pump and the driver
are at operating temperature.
22 Model IC, ICI, ICH, ICIH Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
When Why
Periodically This follows the plant operating procedures.
Permitted indicator values for alignment checks
NOTICE: The specified permitted reading values are valid only at operating temperature. For cold
settings, other values are permitted. You must use the correct tolerances. Failure to do so can result in
misalignment and reduced pump reliability.
IMPORTANT
• For electric motors, the motor shaft initial (cold) parallel vertical alignment setting should be 0.002 to
0.004 in. (0.05 to 0.10 mm) lower than the pump shaft.
• For other drivers such as turbines and engines, follow the driver manufacturer's recommendations.
When dial indicators are used to check the final alignment, the pump and drive unit are correctly aligned
when these conditions are true:
• The total indicator runout is a maximum of 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) at operating temperature.
• The tolerance of the indicator is 0.0005 in./in. (0.0127 mm/mm) of indicator separation at operating
temperature.
Cold settings for parallel vertical alignment
Introduction
This section shows the recommended preliminary (cold) settings for electric motor-driven pumps based on
different temperatures of pumped fluid. Consult driver manufacturers for recommended cold settings for
other types of drivers such as steam turbines and engines.
Installation
NOTICE: For electric motors, the motor shaft setting should be 0.002–0.004 in (0.05–0.1 mm) lower
than the pump shaft. For other drivers, follow the driver manufacturer's recommendations.

You must have two dial indicators in order to complete this procedure.
1. Attach two dial indicators on the pump coupling half (X):
a) Attach one indicator (P) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the perimeter of the
driver coupling half (Y).
This indicator is used to measure parallel misalignment.
b) Attach the other indicator (A) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the inner end of
the driver coupling half.
This indicator is used to measure angular misalignment.
