CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION

TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL
INJURY OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ
AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN
MANUAL AND ON PUMP.

THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN THE
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT
AND MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.

This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
When you see this symbol on the pump
or in the manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert
to the potential for personal injury or
property damage.

Warns of hazards that WILL cause
serious personal injury, death or major
property damage.

Warns of hazards that CAN cause
serious personal injury, death or major
property damage.

Warns of hazards that CAN cause per­sonal injury or property damage.

NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND
MUST BE FOLLOWED.

THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY
WORK ON THIS PUMP.

MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.

UNIT NOT DESIGNED FOR USE
WITH HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS OR
FLAMMABLE GASES. THESE
FLUIDS MAY BE PRESENT IN
CONTAINMENT AREAS.

1.3 Motors must be wired for proper voltage. Motor wir-

ing diagram is on motor nameplate. Wire size must
limit maximum voltage drop to 10% of nameplate
voltage at motor terminals, or motor life and pump
performance will be lowered.

1.4 Always use horsepower-rated switches, contactor and

starters.

1.5 Motor protection

1.5.1 Single-phase: Thermal protection for single-

phase units is sometimes built in (check name­plate). If no built-in protection is provided, use
a contactor with a proper overload. Fusing is
permissible.

1.5.2 Three-phase: Provide three-leg protection with

properly sized magnetic starter and thermal
overloads.

1.6 Maximum Operating Limits:

Liquid Temperature: 140ºF (60ºC)
Working Pressure: 85 PSI
Starts per Hour: 20, evenly distributed.

1.7 Regular inspection and maintenance will increase

service life. Base schedule on operating time. Refer
to Section 8.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Locate pump as near liquid source as possible (below

level of liquid for automatic operation).

2.2 Protect from freezing or flooding.

2.3 Allow adequate space for servicing and ventilation.

2.4 All piping must be supported independently of the

pump, and must “line-up” naturally.

DESCRIPTION and SPECIFICATIONS:

The Model LB is a single stage, centrifugal jet pump for
general liquid transfer service and booster applications.
The liquid end utilizes a 304SS stamped casing, Noryl®
impeller, Lexan® ejector and guidevane, Amodel®
motor adapter and EPR o-rings. All motors are NEMA
48Y and 56Y square flange with a 304SS threaded shaft
extension.

1. IMPORTANT

1.1 Inspect unit for damage. Report any damage to car-

rier/dealer immediately.

1.2 Electrical supply must be a separate branch circuit

with fuses or circuit breakers, wire sizes, etc., in
compliance with National and Local electrical codes.
Install an all-leg disconnect switch near pump.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER WHEN HANDLING PUMP OR

CONTROLS.

NEVER DRAW PIPING IN PLACE BY
FORCING THE PUMP SUCTION AND

DISCHARGE CONNECTIONS.

2.5 Avoid unnecessary fittings. Select sizes to keep fric-

tion losses to a minimum.

2.6 Units may be installed horizontally, inclined or verti-

cally.

DO NOT INSTALL WITH MOTOR
BELOW PUMP. ANY LEAKAGE OR

CONDENSATION WILL AFFECT THE MOTOR.

2.7 Foundation must be flat and substantial to eliminate

strain when tightening bolts. Use rubber mounts to
minimize noise and vibration.

2.8 Tighten motor hold-down bolts before connecting

piping to pump.

3. SUCTION PIPING

3.1 Low static suction lift and short, direct, suction pip-

ing is desired. Consult pump performance curve for
Net Positive Suction Head Required.

3.2 Suction pipe must be at least as large as the suction

CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION

connection of the pump. Smaller size will degrade
performance.

3.3 If larger pipe is required, an eccentric pipe reducer

(with straight side up) must be installed at the pump.

3.4 Installation with pump below source of supply:

3.4.1 Install full flow isolation valve in piping for

inspection and maintenance.

DO NOT USE SUCTION ISOLATION
VALVE TO THROTTLE PUMP.

5. ROTATION

5.1 Correct rotation is right-hand (clockwise when

viewed from the motor end). Switch power on and
off quickly. Observe shaft rotation. To change rota­tion:

5.1.1 Single-phase motor: Non-reversible

5.1.2 Three-phase motor: Interchange any two power

supply leads.

6. OPERATION

3.5 Installation with pump above source of supply:

3.5.1 Avoid air pockets. No part of piping should be

higher than pump suction connection. Slope
piping upward from liquid source.

3.5.2 All joints must be airtight.

3.5.3 Foot valve to be used only if necessary for prim-

ing, or to hold prime on intermittent service.

3.5.4 Suction strainer open area must be at least

triple the pipe area.

3.6 Size of inlet from liquid source, and minimum sub-

mergence over inlet, must be sufficient to prevent air
entering pump through vortexing. See Figures 2-5.

3.7 Use 3-4 wraps of teflon tape to seal threaded connec-

tions.

4. DISCHARGE PIPING

4.1 Allowance should be made for disconnecting dis-

charge piping near casing to allow for pump disas­sembly.

4.2 Arrangement must include a check valve located

between a gate valve and the pump. The gate valve
is for regulation of capacity, or for inspection of the
pump or check valve.

4.3 If an increaser is required, place between check valve

and pump.

4.4 Use 3-4 wraps of Teflon tape to seal threaded connec-

tions.

6.1 Before starting, pump must be primed (free of air

and suction pipe full of liquid) and discharge valve
partially open.

6.2 Make complete check after unit is run under operat-

ing conditions and temperature has stabilized. Check
for expansion of piping.

7. MAINTENANCE

7.1 Ball bearings are located in and are part of the mo-

tor. They are permanently lubricated. No greasing
required.

PUMPED LIQUID PROVIDES LU-

BRICATION. IF PUMP IS RUN DRY,
ROTATING PARTS WILL SEIZE AND MECHANICAL
SEAL WILL BE DAMAGED. DO NOT OPERATE AT
OR NEAR ZERO FLOW. ENERGY IMPARTED TO
THE LIQUID IS CONVERTED INTO HEAT. LIQUID
MAY FLASH TO VAPOR. ROTATING PARTS RE­QUIRE LIQUID TO PREVENT SCORING OR SEIZ­ING.

8. DISASSEMBLY

8.1 Complete disassembly of the unit will be described.

Proceed only as far as required to perform the main­tenance work required.

8.1.1 Turn off power.

8.1.2 Drain system and flush if necessary.

8.1.3 Remove motor hold-down bolts.

8.2 Disassembly of liquid end:

8.2.1 Remove casing screws (3).

8.2.2 Remove back pull-out assembly from casing.

8.2.3 Remove nozzle/venturi assembly (6) and

o-rings (5, 7).

8.2.4 Remove guidevane (8).

DO NOT INSERT SCREWDRIVER

BETWEEN THE FAN BLADES TO
PREVENT ROTATION.

8.2.5 Remove impeller (9) by rotating in a counter-

clockwise direction.
NOTE: For single and three phase motors, re-

move the motor end cover and hold the flats on
the shaft with a wrench to stop rotation.

NOTE: Further disassembly will require
removal of the mechanical seal. It is recom­mended that a new mechanical seal be installed
at reassembly.

8.2.6 Lubricate the shaft and mechanical seal with

soapy water.

8.2.7 Remove rotary portion of the mechanical seal

(10).

8.2.8 Remove motor adapter screws (15) and motor

adapter (13) from motor.

8.2.9 Remove stationary portion of mechanical seal

(11) from motor adapter (13).

9. REASSEMBLY

9.1 Clean all parts before reassembly.

9.2 Recommend replacement of o-rings (5, 7, 12) and

mechanical seal (10, 11) if removed during disassem­bly procedure.

9.3 Inspect and replace nozzle/venturi assembly (6) if any

surface deterioration is noticed in the nozzle area.

9.4 Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Observe the

following when reassembling the pump.

9.5 Lubricate o-rings and mechanical seal with soapy

water to ease assembly.

9.6 Tighten casing screws (3) to 10 ft.-lb. of torque using

a star pattern to prevent o-ring binding.
