DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

The VB Series is a high pressure pump used for coolant circulating systems.

ENGINEERING DATA

• Maximum Liquid Temperatures: 160°F (72°C)

• Maximum Suction Pressure 75 psi

• Pipe connections are 1" NPT suction and discharge. ¾" Hose Adapters are available.

• Capacities to 33 GPM

• Heads to 600 Feet (260) psi

• Rotation: Left hand, ie; COUNTERCLOCKWISE

when viewed from motor end.

PIPING

• Piping should be no smaller than the pump discharge.

Piping should be kept as 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.

• All joints MUST be airtight. Use 3 – 4 wraps of PTFE

tape to seal threaded connections.

WIRING AND GROUNDING

Install ground and wire according to local and National Electrical Code requirements.

Install an all leg disconnect switch near the pump.

Disconnect and lockout electrical supply before installing or servicing pump.

Electrical supply MUST match pump’s name plate speciﬁcations. Incorrect voltage can cause ﬁre and/or damage to the motor and voids warranty.

Motors not protected MUST be provided with contactors and thermal overloads on single phase motors, or starters with heaters on three phase motors. See motor nameplate.

• Use only stranded 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.

• Follow motor manufacturer’s wiring diagram on the

motor nameplate or terminal cover carefully.

FAILURE TO PERMANENTLY GROUND THE PUMP, MOTOR AND CONTROLS BEFORE CONNECTING TO ELECTRICAL POWER CAN CAUSE SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.

ROTATION

NOTICE: INCORRECT ROTATION MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO PUMP AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.

• Correct rotation is left-hand, COUNTER-CLOCK-

WISE when viewed from the motor end.

• To reverse three phase motor rotation interchange any

two power supply leads.

INSTALLATION

• Minimum and maximum liquid levels must be main-

tained for proper pump operation. See Figure 1.

• Allow adequate space for servicing and ventilation.

Protect from freezing or ﬂooding.

OPERATION

SPLASHING OR IMMERSING OPEN DRIP PROOF MOTORS IN FLUIDS CAN SHORT OUT MOTOR AND CAUSE FIRE, SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.

NOTICE: PUMP MUST BE FULLY PRIMED BEFORE

OPERATION. DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY.

• After stabilizing the system at normal operating con-

ditions, check the piping. If necessary, adjust the pipe supports.

Do not run pump dry; damage to mechanical seal will result. Do not run against closed nozzle for prolonged periods or damage to pump and piping will result.

WARNING

Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or cause death.

MAINTENANCE

FAILURE TO DISCONNECT AND LOCKOUT ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE SHOCK, BURNS OR DEATH.

• Motors have permanently lubricated bearings. No

lubrication is possible or necessary. Follow the motor manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance.

• To REMOVE pump from service drain all pumpage

from pump and piping.

• To RETURN pump to service replace all plugs and

piping using PTFE tape or equivalent on male threads.

• Refer to “OPERATION” section of manual.

VB SERIES DISASSEMBLY

• Place wrenches on adapter (18) and suction head (1),

and unscrew suction head and casing (3).

NOTE: CASING HAS A LEFT HAND THREAD

ON BOTH ENDS AND IS SEALED WITH

O-RINGS (2).

• Remove klip ring (10) from end of shaft (15). The

stages, each comprising a bowl (11), impeller (12) and diffuser (13) may now be removed. If pump has been

clogged by foreign matter, but otherwise undamaged, further dismantling may be unnecessary. If shaft assem-

bly (15), shaft seal (17) or motor are to be replaced proceed as follows:

• Remove plug from rear of motor and hold motor

shaft with screwdriver. Unscrew pump shaft coupling

assembly (15) from motor shaft. This is a left hand thread. Remove four motor mounting bolts (19), sep-

arate the motor from frame by withdrawing it straight back.

• Motor may have to be pried with two screwdrivers if

the shaft seal sticks. The shaft seal stationary seat may be pushed out of adapter from the motor side. There

is a rubber coupling o-ring (21) between motor shaft

and coupling which will usually remain on the motor shaft as the seal is pulled over it.

VB SERIES REASSEMBLY

• Check that the rubber deector (22) and the coupling

o-ring (21) are on the motor shaft. If they are worn or

damaged, replace. Install stationary seal seat in motor

adapter (18) and mount motor adapter (18) to motor.

Install seal rotating element, making sure faces are clean and that the last rubber member goes over the coupling o-ring and onto the motor shaft. Screw the

pump shaft and coupling assembly (15) on until it seats

up against the motor shaft. This is a left hand thread.

Place the spacer (16) into the counterbore on the motor adapter. Place 2 or 3 shims on top of coupling to start with, then place diffuser (13), impeller (12) and bowl (11) over shaft. With a feeler gage check the gap

between the face of the impeller and the stainless bowl.

This gap should be maintained at .020 – .030". Check

this gap as stages are added and shim as required. After

all stages are on the shaft, add shims over shaft until

klip ring (10) can be inserted tightly into groove.

• Check o-ring on both motor adapter (18) and suction

head (1) and replace if damaged. Install bearing spider (8), adapter ring (9) and screw on casing (3). Note casing is a left hand thread. Thread on suction head (1). This is a left hand thread. Torque to 70 ft-lbs.

• With screwdriver in the slotted end of the pump shaft,

turn the unit over before replacing plug. It should turn with no resistance except that of the shaft seal.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
