Introduction

This manual gives the safety, installation, operation
and maintenance instructions for pumps in the SPP
Pumps Ltd INSTREAM range of close-coupled
centrifugal pumps for general and industrial use.

Instream pumps are identified by their size code, the
first number is the delivery branch diameter and the
second number is the nominal diameter of the
impeller in centimetres.

The pump sizes covered by this manual are:

40/13 40/16 -

50/13 50/16 50/20

65/13 65/16 65/20

80/13 80/16 80/20

1. General Information and Safety
Instructions

The products supplied by SPP Pumps Ltd. have
been designed with safety in mind. Where hazards
cannot be eliminated, the risk has been minimised
by the use of guards and other design features.
Some hazards cannot be guarded against and the
instructions below MUST BE COMPLIED WITH for
safe operation. These instructions cannot cover all
circumstances: YOU are responsible for using safe
working practices at all times.

1.1 SPP Pumps Ltd. products are designed for
installation in designated areas, which are to
be kept clean and free of obstructions that
may restrict safe access to the controls and
maintenance access points.

A pump nameplate is fitted to each unit and

must not be removed. Loss of this plate
could make identification impossible. This in
turn could affect safety and cause difficulty in
obtaining spare parts. Should accidental loss
or damage occur, contact SPP Pumps Ltd.
immediately.

1.2 Access to the equipment should be restricted
to the personnel responsible for installation,
operation and maintenance and they must be
trained, adequately qualified and supplied with
the appropriate tools for their respective tasks.

1.3 SPP Pumps Ltd. requires that all personnel
that are responsible for installation, operation
or maintenance of the equipment, have
access to and study the product instruction
manual BEFORE any work is done and that
they will comply with all local and industry
based safety instructions and regulations.

1.4 Ear defenders should be worn where the
specified equipment noise level exceeds
locally defined safe levels. Safety glasses or
goggles should be worn where working with
pressurised systems and hazardous
substances. Other personal protection
equipment must be worn where local rules
apply.

1.5 Do NOT wear loose or frayed clothing or
jewellery that could catch on the controls or
become trapped in the equipment.

1.6 Check and confirm that the manual is the
relevant copy by comparing the serial number
on the identification plate with that on the
manual.

Our policy is one of continuous improvement and we reserve the right to alter specifications at any time

1.7 Note any limits to the pump application
specified in the contract documentation.
Operation of the equipment outside these
limits will increase the risk from hazards noted
below and may lead to premature and
hazardous pump failure.

1.8 Clear and easy access to all controls, gauges
and dials etc. MUST be maintained at all
times. Hazardous or flammable materials
must NOT be stored in pump rooms unless
safe areas or racking and suitable containers
have been provided.

1.9 IMPROPER INSTALLATION, OPERATION

OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS SPP PUMPS
LTD PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN INJURY
OR DEATH.

2. Transport Handling and Storage

Instructions

2.1 Transport

Instream pumps are despatched fully
assembled. Pumps are protected against
corrosion and packed for transport by normal
road, rail and sea carriers.

2.2 Handling

Crushing Hazard
When lifting the pump unit, use

lifting equipment having a safe
working load rating suitable for the weight
specified. Use suitable slings for lifting any
pump not provided with lifting points.

The use of suitable forklift truck and four-chain
crane sling equipment is recommended but
locally approved equipment of suitable rating
maybe used.

Pumps are usually supplied on pallets for

handling by forklift truck, to lift from the pallet
the pump should be slung as shown.

Our policy is one of continuous improvement and we reserve the right to alter specifications at any time

Pump weight is shown on the Pump general

arrangement drawing.

2.3 Storage

2.3.1 Temporary Storage for up to Six Weeks

If the pump is not to be used immediately, it

should be stored carefully in a horizontal
position, in a sheltered, dry location. Additional
rust preventative should be applied to all
unpainted carbon steel or cast iron parts, and
should not be removed until final installation.

2.3.2 Long Term Storage

Shearing Hazard
Do NOT place fingers or hands etc.
into the suction or discharge pipe

outlets and do NOT touch the
impeller, if rotated this may cause severe
injury. To prevent ingress of any objects,
retain the protection covers or packaging in
place until removal is necessary for
installation. If the packaging or suction and
discharge covers are removed for inspection
purposes, replace afterwards to protect the
pump and maintain safety.

For special protection of electric motors, refer
to the manufacturers' instructions. in the
Appendix l.

2.3.3 Exposed or Extreme Conditions Storage

For exposed storage or extreme variants in
atmospheric or environmental conditions,
please refer to SPP Pumps Ltd. for special
storage instructions to suit the conditions
applicable.

Operators Instructions for

Instream Centrifugal Pumps

3. General Description

The SPP Pumps Ltd range of Instream Pumps
are centrifugal pumps that comply with Pump
Standard DIN24255.

The mechanical assembly comprises an
electric motor fitted with an extended shaft to
carry a double shrouded type impeller. This is
connected by a support frame to an in line
volute casing fitted with wear ring(s). The
motor, frame, shaft and impeller assembly can
be withdrawn from the volute for maintenance
without disconnection of pipe work.

The in line suction and discharge branches
are the same size. The pump must be
mounted with the motor shaft vertical and
above the pump. A mounting position is
provided on the volute casing for attachment
to suitable foundations.

The shaft is sealed with a standard
mechanical seal.

Nameplate details are shown on the back
cover, full pump specification can be supplied
on a data sheet, if requested.

Note (1) - Head specified is the Duty Head generated by the

pump only.
(2) -Suction pressure must be included when assessing the
Maximum Working Pressure.

For details of the motor supplied, refer to the
manufacturer's instructions in Appendix I.

General Arrangement Drawing when
available.

4.3 Pump Preparation

Abrasion & Entrapment Hazard

Do NOT touch any moving or rotating

parts. Guards are provided to prevent
access to these parts, where they have been
removed for maintenance they MUST be
replaced before operating the equipment.

Remove packaging but leave the flange
covers in place, check that impeller rotates
freely by hand by turning the shaft.

4.4 Pump Installation

Instream pumps are to be mounted on
substantial rigid foundations to reduce
vibrations. A bolt hole is provided within a
circular foot for fixing to a baseplate or
framework.

4.5 Suction Pipework

The run of suction pipework must be such that
air can NOT become trapped where it would
be sucked into the pump on starting. The bore
of suction pipe is recommended to be one or
two sizes larger than the pump suction branch
and reducers if used must be eccentric to
eliminate the possibility of an air pocket being
formed.

Bends in the suction pipeline should be as

4.1 Initial Inspection for Damage

During transport and storage, accidental

damage to the pump may have occurred.
When the pump is to be installed, or in the
event of a handling accident, carefully check
that no damage has been sustained by the
pump before installation and commissioning.

4.2 Preparation for Mounting

Before installation, check that the pump

mounting location is suitable for accepting the
pump. Refer to Section 8, for details of pump
installation dimensions or to a certified

Where pumping water at temperatures above
70°C, care must be taken to ensure that
enough pressure is available at the impeller
entry to prevent vaporisation.

An appropriate fine strainer is recommended
