This is a close coupled, end suction, centrifugal pump for
general liquid transfer service, booster applications, etc.
Liquid-end construction is cast iron and AISI Type 316
stainless steel. Impellers are fully enclosed, non-trimmable to intermediate diameters.
All units have NEMA 48Y or 56Y motors with square
flange mounting and threaded shaft extension.
1. Important
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.
1.3. Motors must be wired for proper voltage. Motor
wiring 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 provid
ed, use a contactor with a proper over
load. 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:
250ºF (120ºC) with high
temperature seal.
Working Pressure: 75 PSI with standard seal
125 PSI with optional seals.
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. 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.
2.5. Avoid unnecessary fittings. Select sizes to keep friction losses to a minimum.
2.6. Units may be installed horizontally, inclined or vertically.
Always disconnect electrical power when
handling pump or controls.
Liquid Temperature: 212ºF (100ºC) with standard seal
Never draw piping into place by forcing the
pump suction and discharge connections.
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. 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
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.
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
priming, 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
submergence over inlet, must be sufficient to prevent
air entering pump through vortexing. See Figures 1
through 4.
3.7. Use 3 to 4 wraps of Teflon tape to seal threaded
connections.
4. Discharge Piping
4. Discharge Piping
4.1. 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.

and pump.
4.3. Use 3 to 4 wraps of Teflon tape to seal threaded
connections.
5. Rotation
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

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.
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
operating conditions and temperature has stabilized.
Check for expansion of piping.
7. Maintenance
7. Maintenance
7.1. Ball bearings are located in and are part of the motor.
They are permanently lubricated. No greasing required.
8. Disassembly
8. Disassembly
Complete disassembly of the unit will be described. Proceed only as far as required to perform the maintenance
work required.
8.1 Turn off power.
8.2 Drain system and flush if necessary.
8.3 Remove motor hold-down bolts.
8.4. Disassembly of Liquid End
8.4.1. Remove casing bolts (370).

screwdriver slot or a pair of flats will be exposed. Using
them will prevent impeller damage.
8.4.4. Remove impeller (101) by turning counter clockwise when looking at the front of the
pump. Protect hand with rag or glove.

8.4.5. With two pry bars 180 degrees apart and
inserted between the seal housing (184) and
the motor adapter (108), carefully separate the
