Instruction and Repair Manual
NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD (NPSH):
NPSH can be defined as the head (energy) that causes liquid to flow through the suction pipe and enter the eye of the
impeller.
NPSH is expressed in two values:
1. NPSH required (NPSHR).
2. NPSH available (NPSHA).
It is essential that NPSHA always be greater than NPSHR to prevent cavitation, vibration, wear and
unstable operation.
NPSHR is a function of the pump design and therefore varies with the make, size, capacity and speed of the pump. The
value for your pump can be obtained from your pump performance curve or the factory.
NPSHA is a function of your system and may be calculated as follows:
A. When the source of liquid is above the pump:
1. NPSHA = barometric pressure (feet) + static suction head (feet)* – friction losses in suction piping (feet)
– vapor pressure of liquid (feet).
*The datum elevation plane for horizontal pumps is the pump centerline.
WET WELL DESIGN:
Generally, it is required that an evenly distributed flow of non-aerated water be supplied to the pump suction. Improper
wet well or sump design or insufficient suction pipe submergence can result in intake vortexing which reduces the
pump’s performance and can cause severe damage to the pump.
We recommend that you secure the advice of a qualified Consulting Engineer for the analysis and design of the wet well.
Significant engineering data on wet well design is provided in the Hydraulic Institute Standards.
Upon request, Fairbanks Nijhuis™ will review plans and give general comments on the installation, but will not approve
such plans for a specific installation and will accept no responsibility or liability for the performance of the pump
intake structure.
LOCATION AND HANDLING:
The pump should be installed as near the fluid as possible so a short direct suction pipe can be used to keep suction
losses at a minimum. If possible, locate the pump so the fluid will flow to the suction opening by gravity. The discharge
piping should be direct and with as few elbows and fittings as possible. The total net positive suction head available
(NPSHA), which includes the suction lift and pipe friction losses, must be greater than the net positive suction head
required (NPSHR) by the pump.
The pump and driver should be located in an area that will permit periodic inspection and maintenance. Head and access
room should be provided and all units should be installed in a dry location with adequate drainage.

TWISTED TENSION WIRE
ROLLED STEEL BASE
FOUNDATION BOLTS
SOUPY GROUT
Instruction and Repair Manual
WARNING:
Do not pick up the complete unit by the driver eye bolts or pump shaft.
FOUNDATION:
The pump foundation should have a level surface and be of sufficient mass to prevent vibration and form a permanent
rigid support for the unit. The most satisfactory foundations are concrete with anchor bolts of adequate size embedded
in the foundation in pipe sleeves with an inside diameter 2-1/2 times larger than the bolt diameter. This will allow for final
accurate positioning of the unit.
Recommended anchor bolt design is available from the factory.
LEVELING OF THE UNIT:
Lower the unit onto the foundation and position the base so the anchor bolts are aligned in the middle of the holes in the
base. Disconnect the coupling halves and do not reconnect until all alignment operations are complete.
Set the base on metal shims or metal wedges placed directly under the part of the base carrying the greatest weight, and
spaced close enough to give uniform support and stability.
11
Adjust the metal shims or wedges until the shaft of the pump and driver are level or vertical as appropriate and until pump
and driver shaft are aligned with each other. Make sure that all shims or wedges fit firmly between the foundation and the
base.
If leveling nuts are installed on the anchor bolts and are used for alignment, follow the same procedure as with shims
or wedges. Support the base with additional shims or wedges if necessary. Make sure that all nuts and shims are in firm
contact with the base. Tighten the foundation bolts snugly, but not too firmly, and recheck the shafts for alignment
before grouting.
GROUTING:
IMPORTANT:
The pump base must be set level to avoid any mechanical
difficulties with the pump or motor. The 1900 pump was
properly aligned, if supplied with a motor, at the factory.
However, since the pump base is flexible, it may spring
and twist during shipment. Do not pipe the pump until it is
realigned.
Grouting the base plate prevents lateral movement of the base
plate, and improves the vibration absorbing characteristics of
the foundation by increasing its mass. A wooden dam should be
Figure 1. Grouting the Base for Frame Mounted Pumps.
constructed around the base plate to contain the grout while it is
being poured. The dam can be built tight against the base plate, or slightly removed from it as desired. Refer to Fig. 1. The
entire base plate should be completely filled with nonshrinkable type grout. Be sure to remove all air bubbles from the
grout.
CAUTION:
Damaging vibration may result if the base plate is not solidly in contact with the grout bed.
Do not fill the pipe sleeves with grout.
If leveling nuts are used, make sure they are not embedded in grout. Provide access in the grout to the leveling nuts so
that they can be backed off after the grout has cured.
11/12/18
Page 12
12
Allow the grout to fully cure before backing off the leveling nuts (if used) and firmly tightening the foundation bolts. Then
recheck the alignment before connecting the piping as even the highest quality nonshrink grouts contract slightly during
drying.
1900 Series Horizontal Splitcase Pumps
Instruction and Repair Manual
PlPING:
IMPORTANT:
All piping connections must be made with the pipe in a free supported state, and without the need to apply vertical or
side pressure to obtain alignment of the piping with pump flange.
All piping should be independently supported near the pump so that pipe strain will not be transmitted to the pump
casing. The weight of the piping and of the contained liquid must be considered in support design. The suction and
discharge piping should be one or two sizes larger than the pump flange sizes, especially where the piping is of
considerable length. Any flexible joints installed in the piping must be equipped with tension rods to absorb piping axial
thrust.
The suction pipe must be airtight and sloped upward to the pump flange to avoid air pockets which will impair
satisfactory pump operation. The discharge pipe should be as direct as possible with a minimum of valves to reduce pipe
friction losses.
A check valve and closing valve should be installed in the discharge line and a closing valve in the suction line. The check
valve, between the pump and closing valve, protects the pump from water hammer and prevents reverse rotation in the
event of power failure. The closing valves are used in priming, starting and when the pump is shut down. The pump must
never be throttled by the use of a valve in the suction line.
INITIAL COUPLING ALIGNMENT:
Check safety codes, and always install protective guard or shield as required by the various federal, state and local laws
and the regulations concerning OSHA.
The pump and driver were accurately aligned at the factory. However, it is impossible to maintain this alignment during
shipping and handling. Therefore it will be necessary for you to realign the pump and driver. Flexible couplings are not
universal joints. They should not be used to compensate for misalignment of the pump and motor shafts. Their function
is to transmit power from the driver to the pump while compensating for thermal expansion and shaft end movement.
The coupling faces should be far enough apart so that they do not make contact when the motor shaft is forced to the
limit of the bearing clearance toward the pump shaft.
In order to properly align the coupling, you will need a taper gauge or set of feeler gauges, and a straight edge.
There are two types of misalignment encountered with flexible couplings: angular misalignment, in which the shafts are
not parallel, and parallel misalignment where the shafts are parallel but not on the same axis.
To check angular alignment, insert a feeler gauge or taper gauge at any four places 90° apart around the coupling halves.
Insert shims under the driver feet until the same reading is obtained at all four check points. The pump and driver will
then be in angular alignment.

Instruction and Repair Manual
Figure 2. Flexible Coupling Alignment.
To check parallel alignment, a straight edge should be held against the edges of the coupling halves at any four places
90° apart around the coupling. The straight edge should be parallel to the pump and driver shafts at all times. Insert shims
until the straight edge lies flat against both coupling halves at all four checkpoints. The pump and driver will then be in
proper parallel alignment. Refer to Fig. 2.
For fine alignment, 3500 RPM operation, for all other coupler types.
A dial indicator should be used when greater alignment accuracy is required. Use the following alignment tolerances
unless specified otherwise by the coupling manufacturer. On sleeve type couplings make sure there is at least 1/8" end
clearance between the sleeve and the two coupling halves.
To check angular misalignments, mount the dial indicator base to the coupling half, and position the dial indicator button
on the front or rear face of the opposite coupling half. Set the dial to zero, rotate both coupling halves together, making
sure the indicator button always indicates off the same spot. Misalignment values within 0.004 inches TIR per inch of
coupler radius is permissible.
To check parallel misalignment, mount the dial indicator base to one coupling half, or shaft and position the dial indicator
button on the outside diameter of the opposite coupling half. Set the dial to zero. Rotate both coupling halves together,
making sure the indicator button always indicates off the same spot. Misalignment within 0.004 inches TIR is permissible.
PERIODIC CHECK:
Realign the base after piping from time to time while the unit and foundation are new. Coupling misalignment can occur
because of shifts in grouting, foundation or because of large objects going through the pump causing shock loading
conditions.
Coupling alignment should be checked periodically for changes. Coupling misalignment can lead to or cause bearing
failure, coupling failure, shaft breakage, high power consumption, etc.
AUXILIARY PIPING CONNECTIONS:
Install any additional piping connections your pump may require such as water seal piping, stuffing box drain, baseplate
drain, and pressure gauges.
For satisfactory pump operation and life, these auxiliary pipe lines must be kept clean.

ROTATION:
Before connecting the motor to the pump, bump start the driver and verify rotation is in the proper direction. The correct
pump rotation is indicated by a directional arrow on the pump casing.
OPERATION:
GENERAL:
This section contains general rules for operation. Because variations may exist in a particular installation between the
pumps, the drivers and the accessory equipment, specific operating instructions are not within the scope of
this manual.
WARNING:
Before starting or operating the pump, read this entire manual and especially comply with the following instructions:
A. Before starting the pump, install guards around all exposed rotating parts.
B. Before starting the pump, rotate the unit or assembly by hand to assure all moving parts are free.
C. Observe all caution or danger tags attached to the equipment.
D. Never run the pump dry as the close running fits within the pump are lubricated by the liquid. Running dry may result
in pump seizure.
E. Before starting the pump, fill the casing and suction line with liquid. The pump may be primed by using a
priming system.
F. If excessive vibration or noise occurs during operation, shut the pump down and consult a Fairbanks Nijhuis™
representative.
G. Before starting a packed box pump, adjust the packing so there is sufficient leakage to lubricate the packing and
assure a cool stuffing box. (See maintenance instructions.)
OPERATING AT REDUCED CAPACITY:
In a typical application covering a wide range of flow rates, a variable speed driver is often used to adjust pump capacity,
and this is taken into consideration by Fairbanks Nijhuis when selecting the pump and impeller trim. Although these
pumps are applicable over a wide range of operating conditions, care should be exercised when doing so, especially
when the actual conditions differ from the sold-for conditions. You should always contact your nearest Fairbanks Nijhuis
distributor or factory before operating the pumps at any condition other than that for which they
were sold.
Generally, these pumps can be operated continuously at a capacity equal to 25% of the pump capacity at the best
efficiency point, and at higher capacities. At capacities less than 25% of best efficiency point capacity, we recommend
that the pumps be operated for intermittent periods of time only.

The priming procedure is different for positive and negative suction head systems and the following procedures should
be followed:
A. Positive suction head.
1. Open the vent on the highest point on the pump casing.
2. Open all suction valves.
3. Allow the liquid to flow from the vent hole until all air bubbles are vented, and then close the vent.
4. The pump is now primed.
B. Negative suction head.
1. Install the priming system on the vent on the highest point of the pump casing.
2. Close the discharge valve.
15
3. Open the suction valve.
4. Start the priming system.
5. Run the priming system until a continuous stream flows through the suction line, then close the valve to
the vent.
6. The pump is now primed.
STARTING THE PUMP:
A. After the pump is primed, and with the discharge valve closed and the suction valve open, start the driver according
to the driver manufacturer’s instructions.
B. Open the discharge valve slowly to prevent water hammer.
C. Immediately after the pump has been started, check bearing temperature, stuffing box lubrication and operation,
and pump noise level. Continue to monitor these values for the first several hours of operation.
NORMAL OPERATION:
Monitor the following during running cycles:
A. Unit vibration or noise.
B. Driver lubrication.
C. Pump lubrication.
D. Packing box leakage.
11/12/18

A. Repeat those procedures covered by initial start-up.
1900 Series Horizontal Splitcase Pumps
Instruction and Repair Manual
STOPPING THE PUMP:
Pump stations are usually designed to have the pumps started and stopped automatically using a controller. Since this is
a function of station design, the operators should be thoroughly familiar with the system’s operating parameters and in
the use of the controller. The general procedure to shut down the pump is as follows:
NORMAL SHUTDOWN:
A. Disconnect the electrical power.
1. Lock out the power to the driver.
DANGER:
Check power source with appropriate electrical test equipment to ensure driver cannot accidently start.
B. If the pump is to be removed for repair, close the suction and discharge valves.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN:
In the event of an emergency, shut off the power at the nearest switch. The operator or persons working around the
equipment should be familiar with locations of emergency shut-off points.
Many installations are equipped with emergency shut-off switches near the pump location. These locations should be
plainly marked and be readily accessible at all times.
The control panel (if used) may be equipped with an emergency stop button or switch.
BEARING OPERATING TEMPERATURE:
These pumps are designed to operate over a wide ambient temperature. The temperature, when measured on the
outside surface of the bearing housing, should not exceed 190°F. Temperatures in excess of 190°F may indicate
a lack of lubricant, or bearing problems. If the temperature exceeds this limit, the pump should be stopped and the cause
investigated and corrected.

1900 Series Horizontal Splitcase Pumps
Instruction and Repair Manual
REPAIR:
NOTE:
This repair manual is applicable to pump Models 1920, 1920F, 1910 and 1940. All photos illustrate Model 1910 except where
noted.
SERVICE:
Your Fairbanks Nijhuis™ pump requires no maintenance other than periodic inspection, lubrication and occasional
cleaning. The intent of inspection is to prevent breakdown, thus obtaining optimum service life.
LUBRICATION OF BEARINGS:
Regreasable bearings will require periodic lubrication and this can be accomplished by using the zerk or lubrication fitting
at each bearing. Lubricate the bearings at regular intervals using high quality grease. The initial bearing lubrication at
Aurora is Chevron SRI Grease NLGI 2 (polyurea thickener) (Pentair Part Number 384-0002-639). Before lubricating the
bearings, thoroughly flushing the old grease with the new grease is required. We recommend Chevron SRI Grease NLGI
2 (polyurea thickener) for follow-up relubrication after the flushing. Most major brands of Grade No. 2 ball bearing grease
are satisfactory for pump operation in both wet and dry applications.
CAUTION:
Be aware that mixing of different brands or blends of grease should be avoided due to possible incompatibilities that
could damage the bearings. A thorough flushing of the old grease with the new grease is required to minimize this
potential incompatibility. Avoid using the following: (1) grease of vegetable or animal base that can develop acids or (2)
grease containing rosin, graphite, talc or other impurities. Under no circumstances should grease be reused.
CAUTION:
Over lubrication should be avoided as it may result in overheating and possible bearing failure. Under normal application,
adequate lubrication is assured if the amount of grease is maintained at 1/3 to 1/2 the capacity of the bearing and
adjacent space surrounding the bearing.
In dry locations, each bearing will need lubrication at least every 4,000 hours of running time or every 6 to 12 months,
whichever is more frequent. In wet locations the bearings will need lubrication at least after every 2,000 hours of running
time or every 4 to 6 months, whichever is more frequent. A unit is considered to be installed in a wet location if the pump
and motor are exposed to dripping water, to the weather, or to heavy condensation such as found in unheated and poorly
ventilated underground locations.
At times it may be necessary to clean the bearings due to accumulated
dirt or deteriorated lubricants. This can be
accomplished by flushing the bearing with a light oil heated to 180 to
200°F while rotating it on a spindle. Wipe the
bearing housing with a clean rag soaked in a cleaning solvent and flush
all surfaces.
Model 1940
Dry bearing thoroughly before relubricating. Compressed air can be
used to speed drying, but care should be taken not to let bearings
rotate while being dried.
Model 1910
CAUTION:
Use normal fire caution procedures when using any petroleum cleaner.
Model 1920 pumps are available with two options for lubricating the
shaft bearings. They are:
1. Regreasable (standard)
2. Oil lubrication
Models 1920
and 1920F
A. Complete pump assemblies.
11/12/18
Page 23
1900 Series Horizontal Splitcase Pumps
Instruction and Repair Manual
Oil lubricated bearings are optional on Model 1920 pumps. A fixed oil level is maintained within the bearing cartridge
by an oiler which allows visual indications of reserve oil.
At initial installation and before starting a unit that has been shut down for repairs or for any extended length of time, run
enough lOW-30 weight motor oil through the oiler to maintain a constant oil level to ensure that the bearing will never be
without an oil supply. Oil will have to be added at intervals to maintain a constant level in the oiler. This
interval can be determined only by experience.
Under working conditions, oil will break down and need to be replaced at regular intervals. The length of these intervals
will depend on many factors. Under normal operation, in clean and dry locations, the oil should be changed about once a
year. However, when the pump is exposed to dirt contamination, high temperatures (200°F or above) or a wet location,
the oil may have to be changed every 2 or 3 months.
The motor that drives your Fairbanks Nijhuis™ pump may or may not require lubrication. Consult the manufacturer’s
recommendations for proper maintenance instructions.
REPAIRS:
The pump may be disassembled using the illustrations and text provided. Although complete disassembly is covered, it
will seldom be necessary to completely disassemble your Fairbanks Nijhuis pump.
23
The illustrations accompanying the disassembly instructions show the pump at various stages of disassembly. The
illustrations are intended to aid in the correct identification of the parts mentioned in the text.
Inspect removed parts at disassembly to determine their reusability. Cracked castings should never be reused. All
packing and gaskets should be replaced with new ones at reassembly simply as a matter of economy; they are much
less expensive to replace routinely than to replace as the need occurs. In general it is economical to return to the
manufacturer for repair only the motor and motor controller.
B. Pump positioned horizontally for disassembly.
Pump base removed. Model 1910 or 1940 illustrated.
C. Upper casing, bearing caps and packing removed.
Model 1910 or 1940 illustrated.
DISASSEMBLY OF THE PUMP:
Disassemble only what is needed to make repairs or accomplish inspection. Proceed to disassemble the pump as
follows: (See Figure 6 for Models 1920 and 1920F, Figure 7 for Model 1910 and Figure 8 for Model 1940.)
1. Break electrical connection to motor or take similar steps to make certain that drive unit will not be unintentionally
energized during disassembly.

or crane as required to lift it from casing half (2) and place it on suitable bench or work surface.
CAUTION:
Take care not to dent or damage impeller and/or other parts. Use of a supporting cradle or work stand is
recommended.
NOTE:
Disassembly procedure from this point covers pumps having standard packing. If pump has mechanical seals, refer to
Specific Instructions.
11. Remove and discard rings of packing (212), since replacement with new packing is recommended whenever pump is
disassembled.
12. Slide pump half of flexible coupling off shaft (4) and remove key (272). Pry up on end of key so as not to damage
shaft. If preferred, key may be removed by carefully tapping from outer end with a brass drift or similar nonmarring
tool, using a small hammer.

(456B) to shaft sleeves and slide them off.
7. Proceed with further disassembly of outboard ball bearing
and seal assembly using same basic procedure.
8. After removal of mechanical seals proceed with balance of
disassembly in same manner as described for packing design.
D. Rotating element removed from lower casing.
REASSEMBLY:
Reassembly will generally be in reverse order of disassembly. If disassembly was not complete, use only those steps
related to your particular repair program.
1. Position locating pins (2C) in casing half (2), adding swing bolt
pins (19F) if used on your pump. Install wearing ring pins (17A)
and casing bushing pins (39C). Tap pins gently to seat them
in place. Place O-ring (14B) in shaft sleeve (B14). If nameplate
was removed, install it with screws.
2. On right-hand unit, thread inboard sleeve (B14) onto shaft
(4) distance “A”. (Refer to Fig. 4.) On left-hand unit, thread
outboard sleeve (A14) onto shaft distance “A”. (Refer to Fig.
5.) When sleeve is in position, its keyway should align with
keyway on shaft. Coat key and keyway with Loctite® sealant
grade 242. Insert key (102) into keyways
of shaft and sleeve. Tap key firmly in place.
E. Rotating element placed in a protective cradle
for further disassembly.
3. Coat inside diameter of impeller wearing rings (17) (optional) with Loctite® sealant Grade 271 and press them over
hubs of impeller(s) (B1) and (A1). Do not attempt to hammer impeller wear rings into position, since they are a press
fit. Use of an arbor press is preferred. However, placing a block of wood over the impeller wearing ring and pressing
it in will work satisfactorily. For pumps on power frame 5 only, four setscrews (16A) will be installed by drilling into

wearing rings and impeller. The opposite surface of the
impeller should be protected from damage throughout the
procedures by resting it against soft wood on the surface of
work bench.
CAUTION:
Impeller wearing rings must be given special care because they
are press fit. Be sure rings are positioned squarely over hubs
of impeller. A soft headed hammer may be used to gently tap
impeller wearing rings into correct alignment before they are
pressed into place.
F. Bearing cartridge cap and gasket removed from shaft.
4. On right-hand unit proceed to assemble the rotating element
as follows:
Coat impeller (B1) keyway with Loctite® sealant grade 242 and slide impeller (A1) onto shaft (4).
Place gasket (39B) on shaft and slide separate sleeve (48) against it. Place casing bushings (39) over separator
sleeve. Place gasket (39A) on shaft, coat impeller (B1) keyway with Loctite® sealant grade 242 and slide impeller (B1)
in place. Key (102) should not protrude beyond impeller (B1) hub after impeller has been positioned. Place O-ring (14A)
in shaft sleeve (A14), then thread shaft sleeve tight onto shaft (4).
27
On left-hand unit use same procedure, only starting with impeller (B1).
NOTE:
When assembling rotating element of a 1900 Series pump it is important that the curve of impeller blades is in
agreement with pump rotation. (See insert in Figures 6, 7, or 8.)
CAUTION:
Carefully check to see that the proper shaft sleeve has been keyed into place for rotation of pump. If the correct shaft
sleeve is not keyed onto shaft, it can spin loose during operation of pump and cause extensive damage.
5. Install packing or mechanical seals and secure according to the following specific instructions:
STANDARD PACKING:
a. Slide bushings (20) onto each end of shaft. The raised shoulder on bushings must face away from impeller.
b. Seven pieces of packing (212) are placed on outboard end of shaft (4) over shaft sleeve. Two pieces of packing,
a lantern ring (10), and three more pieces of packing are
placed on inboard shaft sleeve.
Stagger breaks in packing rings so that pump will not leak
excessively.
MECHANICAL SEAL:
a. Single seal and balanced single seals.
