INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION − SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this
section offers only general recommendations and
practices required to inspect, position, and ar-
range the pump and piping.

Most of the information pertains to a standard
static lift application where the pump is positioned
above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If installed in a flooded suction application where
the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,
some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the
specific application. This pump is equipped with a
Gorman-Rupp double grease lubricated seal,
therefore the maximum incoming pressure must
be limited to 10 p.s.i.

For further assistance, contact your Gorman-Rupp
distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.

sions of this pump.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be-
fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,
inspect the pump for damage which may have oc-
curred during shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged

threads, and other obvious damage.

b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard-

ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry-
ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur-
faces.
