3. Pour grout between sub base or barrel flange and
concrete foundation, up to level of dam. Remove
air bubbles from grout as it is poured by puddling,
using a vibrator, or pumping the grout into place.
Non-shrink grout is recommended.
4. Allow grout to set at least 48 hours.
5. Tighten foundation bolts.
SITE WITH STRUCTURAL STEEL FOUNDATION
When the pump is mounted directly on a structural steel
frame, pumps shall be located directly over, or as near as
possible to, the main building members, beams or walls.
The barrel, discharge head mounting flange or sub base,
shall be bolted to the support to avoid distortion, prevent
vibration and retain proper alignment.
PIPING
Guidelines for piping are given in the “Hydraulic
Institute Standards”, available from: Hydraulic Institute,
9 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054-3802 and must be
reviewed prior to pump installation.
Never draw piping into place by forcing
the flange connections of the pump. Pipe
strain will adversely effect the operation of the pump
resulting in damage to the equipment and possible
physical injury.
1. All piping must be supported independently, and
line up naturally with the pump flange so that undue
pipe strain is not imposed on the pump.
2. DO NOT connect piping to pump until grout has
hardened and pump hold-down bolts have been
tightened.
3. It is suggested that expansion loops or joints, if used,
be properly installed in the discharge line. When
handling liquids at elevated temperatures expansion
joints are used, so linear expansion of piping will
not draw pumps out of alignment.
4. Carefully clean all pipe parts, valves and fittings,
and piping branches prior to assembly.
5. Isolation and check valves should be installed in
discharge line. Locate the check valve between
isolation valve and pump, this will permit inspection
of the check valve. The isolation valve is required
for regulation of flow, and for inspection and
maintenance of pump. The check valve prevents
pump or seal damage due to reverse flow through
the pump when the driver is turned off.
6. Increasers, if used, should be placed between pump
and check valves.
7. Cushioning devices should be used to protect the
pump from surges and water hammer if quick-
closing valves are installed in the system.
WARNING
PUMP INSTALLATION
When pumping unit is installed in a potentially
explosive environment, the instruction after the
symbol must be followed. Personal injury and/
or equipment damage may occur if these instructions
are not followed. If there is any question regarding these
requirements or equipment is to be modified, please
contact a Goulds Water Technology representative before
proceeding.
Pumps of 20 feet (6 m) or less in length are usually
shipped assembled, with the exception of the driver,
mechanical seal with tubing and coupling assembly,
spacer or non spacer type. When provided, refer to the
Certified Pump Outline for the applicable base plate plan
for the location of anchor bolt holes.
INSTALLING A PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED PUMP
1. If a base plate was supplied, install as described in
Foundation/Piping Section (page 9).
2. Clean the mounting surface of the plate and clean
bottom surface of discharge head mounting flange.
3. Check that all fasteners on the pump are tight, as it
is recognized that transportation and handling may
result in bolt relaxation.
4. Install the barrel (can) to discharge head O-ring
(743).
5. Sling through discharge head holes or thread two
eyebolts through bolt holes in mounting flange and
hoist unit into position over foundation.
NOTE: Eyebolts or sling should be rated to handle
in excess of the pump weight (see Outline
Drawing).
6. Lower the unit and carefully guide it so that unit
does not strike the side of the base plate. Continue
to lower unit until the discharge head flange engages
and rests firmly on the plate, then secure with
capscrews provided.
7. When a lineshaft is shipped separately check shaft
for straightness; average total run out should not
exceed 0.005” T.I.R. (0.127mm) for 10 feet (3 m).
Shaft must be within tolerance prior to installation.
8. Refer to remainder of this manual for complete
assembly, startup, maintenance, disassembly and
recommended lubricants for the pump.
INSTALLING THE BOWL ASSEMBLY
Do not work under a heavy suspended
object unless there is positive support and
safe guards, which will protect personnel, should a hoist
or sling fail.
Do not attempt to lift bowl assembly
by the pump shaft. This can result in
damaging the pump shaft.
