Installation
Preinstallation
Inspect the barrel flange or sub-base
1. If an optional sub-base is furnished, remove it from the barrel when it is shipped assembled.
2. Completely clean the underside of the barrel flange or sub-base.
You might need to coat the underside of the barrel flange or sub-base with an epoxy primer which
you can purchase as an option.
3. Remove the rust-preventative solution from the machined topside of the barrel flange with an
appropriate solution.
Concrete foundation requirements
Requirements
Make sure that you meet these requirements when you prepare the pump foundation:
• The foundation must be able to absorb any vibration.
• The foundation must be able to form a permanent and rigid support for the pumping unit.
• The foundation must be of adequate strength in order to support the complete weight of the pump
and driver, plus the weight of the liquid that passes through it.
Typical installation
A typical installation has these characteristics:
• Bolts with a pipe sleeve that is two and a half times the size of the bolt diameter embedded in the
concrete
• Properly sized
• Located in accordance with the dimensions given in the example drawing
• Enough space inside the pipe sleeves to allow the final position of the foundation bolts to align with
the holes in the sub-base flange
