Inspection of Pump
Always check on receipt of delivery you have
received the correct pump unit. To identify, see above
specifications and label below. Check correct motor
kW & speed on motor nameplate (attached to motor)
prior to installation.
Driving Options
Your ISOspec
®
pump can be driven by a variety of
means. The best option is to direct drive via a suitable
coupling. If you must belt drive your ISOspec
®
pump,
lower speed (rpm). Limits may apply - see below:

Installation Location
It is important to select a site as close to the
liquid source as possible. When a suction lift is
unavoidable, install the pump as near to the water
level as possible (see suction piping). You should
always check the maximum permissible lift of the
pump from its performance curve.
Foundations
The pump unit should be mounted on a foundation
that is substantial enough to withstand the weight of
the unit & large enough to accommodate all mounting
feet so they can be securely fixed to avoid movement.
Suction Piping
All fittings & suction piping should be free of air leaks.
When a suction lift or long suction lengths are
unavoidable, consideration should be given to over
sizing the suction line to reduce suction losses. On
suction lifts a foot valve will be required, sized equal to
the suction line size. For applications on creek beds
or dams, please install a foot valve & strainer, well
submerged below the surface, to reduce whirlpools
& air inclusion. Air inclusion can result in cavitation
reducing the pump performance & eventually
destroying the pump or its components.
Long radius bends should be installed & a straight
length of piping equal to 2.5, the impeller diameter,
should be observed. Supporters should be equipped
to the inlet pipeline and outlet pipeline to avoid the
pump flange bearing too much tension force.
Discharge Piping
Discharge piping must be selected of a size that
would equal the discharge of the pump. For long
discharge lengths, consideration should be given to
oversize to minimize discharge losses reducing flow.
Talk to your nearest Davey dealer to calculate all
system losses. To avoid air pockets in discharge
lines at high points, vent cocks may be required to
release air blocks accumulated within the system. Air
pockets may affect the performance of the pump. A
throttling valve should be installed in the discharge
line to ensure the pump works within the performance
curve.
