Description and Specifications
• The Model GT embraces a line of end suction, single
stage, self-priming centrifugal pumps for lawn sprinkling,
HVAC systems, and general water transfer.
• Casing is cast iron construction with tapped openings
provided for vacuum gauge and casing drain.
• Impellers are enclosed design, glass filled Noryl
TM
,
threaded directly on motor shaft.
• Standard motors are NEMA standard, 3500 RPM, open
• Maximum Starts per Hour: 20 – evenly distributed
Piping
• Pump MUST be installed horizontally on a solid flat
surface, with discharge on top.
• Allow adequate space for servicing and ventilation.
Protect the unit from weather and water damage due to
rain or flooding or freezing temperatures.
• Piping should be no smaller than the suction and
discharge connections and kept short as possible,
avoiding unnecessary fittings to minimize friction losses.
• All piping MUST be independently supported and
MUST NOT place any piping loads on the pump.
NOTICE: DO NOT FORCE PIPING INTO PLACE
AT PUMP SUCTION AND DISCHARGE
CONNECTIONS.
• All pipe joints MUST be airtight.
• The use of Teflon
for ALL pipe joints.
SUCTION
TM
tape, or equivalent, is recommended
• Total suction lift, including elevation and pipe friction
loss, should not exceed 25 feet of head.
• Install an airtight union in the suction line close to the
pump. See Figure 1.
• Installation of a foot valve at liquid source is
recommended.
NOTICE: FOR INSTALLATIONS WITH LONG
SUCTION PIPING, BOTH A FOOT VALVE
AND A CHECK VALVE ARE
RECOMMENDED.
• To avoid air pockets, no part of the piping should be
above the pump suction connection and piping should
slope upward from liquid source.
• For installations with long suction piping, fill the suction
pipe with water before connecting to pump.

DISCHARGE
• Install a tee at the discharge connection of the pump.
The top opening of the tee is required for initial priming.

Wiring and Grounding
WARNING
Hazardous voltage
can shock, burn or
cause death.
Electrical supply MUST match pump’s
nameplate specification. Incorrect voltage can
cause fire or damage to the motor and voids
warranty.
Motors without built-in protection MUST be
provided with contactors and thermal overloads
for single phase motors, or starters with heaters
for three phase motors. See motor nameplate.
Install, ground and wire
according to local and National
Electrical Code requirements.
Install an all leg electrical power
disconnect switch near the
pump.
Disconnect electrical power
before installing or servicing
pump.
• Follow motor manufacturer’s wiring diagram on the
motor nameplate or terminal cover carefully.
• Use only copper wire to motor and ground. The ground
wire MUST be at least as large as the wire to the motor.
Wires should be color coded for ease of maintenance.

Rotation
NOTICE: INCORRECT ROTATION MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND VOIDS THE
WARRANTY.
• Correct rotation is right hand, CLOCKWISE when
viewed from the motor end.
• Three phase unit rotation may be checked by removing
motor end cap or plug and observing rotation of motor
shaft. To reverse rotation, reverse any two of the three
motor leads.
Operation
WARNING
Extreme heat can
cause personal injury
or property damage
OPERATION WITHOUT PRIME, OR
AGAINST A CLOSED DISCHARGE
VALVE, CAN GENERATE HOT
WATER OR STEAM CAUSING
INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
NOTICE: DO NOT OPERATE PUMP
WITHOUT PRIME OR SEAL
DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
• Prime pump by filling pump and piping through opening
in top of tee with clean water. See Figure 1.
• Install pipe plug in top of tee using Teflon
TM
tape or
equivalent.
NOTICE: IF PUMP IS DRAINED OR SHUT OFF
DURING PRIMING PERIOD, CASING
MUST BE REFILLED BEFORE
RESTARTING PUMP.
• Start the pump and partially open discharge valve and
wait for system pressure to stabilize. If system pressure is
surging, or prolonged pressure drop is experienced, the
system may not be completely primed.
Maintenance
WARNING
FAILURE TO DISCONNECT
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE

cause death.
SEASONAL SERVICE
For motor lubrication, refer to and
follow manufacturer’s instructions.
• To REMOVE pump from service, remove all drain plugs
and drain all piping.
• To RETURN pump to service, replace all drain plugs
using TeflonTM tape or equivalent.
• Reconnect suction line if removed, examine union and
repair if necessary.
• Reprime and operate pump following all instructions
and warnings in the “OPERATION” section of manual.

can shock, burn or
cause death.
1. Remove foot bolt (10).
2. Remove casing bolts (12).
3. Remove back pull-out assembly from casing (2).
4. Remove diffuser seal ring (3) and diaphragm (4).
5. Remove diffuser screws (5) from adapter (11).
6. Remove motor end plug or cover.
7. Restrain motor shaft from rotation by utilization of
the screwdriver slot, or 7⁄16" shaft flats, accessible at the
motor shaft end.
9. Using two screwdrivers, pry off rotary section of
mechanical seal (8). Discard. See Figure 2.
10. Remove motor adapter bolts (12) and remove motor
adapter from motor.
11. Push stationary seat of mechanical seal out of
motor adapter. Discard seal seat.
FAILURE TO DISCONNECT
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE

4. Fully and squarely install the seal rotary assembly
against the stationary seat. Be sure rotating seal face
does not drop out of holding collar and DO NOT
damage seal face.
5. On three phase units, impeller MUST be installed with
LOCTITE® “Purple”. Hold shaft from rotating, as
explained in the “DISASSEMBLY” section of the
manual, and install impeller by turning CLOCKWISE
until tight against motor shaft shoulder.
6. Replace diffuser. Align to prevent impeller rub.
7. Install new diaphragm and new diffuser seal ring.
