Page 6 of 18
 • Install fire protection systems in accordance with NFPA rulings, listings and
manufacturers recommendations.

9.2 EXECUTION OF WORKS

1.1.1 LOCATION
• Locate pump discharge piping (and suction piping when applicable) as well as auxiliary
equipment, control and starting panels so that adequate access is provided for
maintenance. Adequate floor space and working room should also be provided for
maintenance.
1.1.2 FOUNDATION
• The pump must be installed on a foundation rigid enough to support the entire weight
of the pump plus the weight of the fluid contained in it. Weak foundations or
foundations on unstable ground can cause misalignment, vibration, and even total
foundation failure.
• The mass of the foundation should be sufficient, preferably five times that of the
rotating element of the pumping equipment, to form a permanent and rigid support for
the base plate or discharge head. This is equally important whether the pump is
installed over a pit, over a well or into a suction barrel.
1.1.3 RIGGING & LIFTING
• For typical installations, suitable overhead lifting equipment of adequate capacity to lift
the driver, the entire pump (without driver) or the heaviest subassembly of the pump
should be available at the job site when installing or removing the pump.
• Adequate headroom should be provided to accommodate the longest section of the
pump to be handled, including rigging.
• Properly sized slings, chains and shackles should be available for attaching to the lifting
lugs (eyes). Eyebolts are required for handling pump sections when lifting lugs are not
provided.
1.1.4 INSTALLATION OF PUMP
• Position lifting equipment so it will center over the foundation opening.
• Sump and piping should be thoroughly cleaned of all loose debris before starting
installation
• Clean pump discharge flange
Note:
• All machined surfaces are coated with rust preventions prior to shipment this must be
completely removed along with any paint over-spray or rust, which might be on the
machined faces.
• The faces should be scraped and wire brushed first and then fine emery cloth used to
remove any stubborn spots. Use a fine file to remove any nicks or burrs.
• All the threads should be checked for damage and repaired if necessary.
• Clean all threads with wire brush and cleaning solvent.
• Ends of shafts must be cleaned and any burrs removed since alignment depends on the
shaft ends butting directly.
• Apply thread lubricant sparingly to male shaft threads only when making up shaft
connections.

Page 7 of 18
• Lift the pump and lower slowly into the sump, using the lifting lugs on the discharge
head. Hand guide the pump as it lowered and watch for any obstruction or binding of
the pump, which can be felt through the hands
• Rotate pump until discharge flange faces proper direction for alignment with piping
and align anchor bolt holes.
• Slowly lower pump onto the foundation.
• Install anchor bolts or nuts, but do not tighten.
• Pipe from discharge shifting the pump slightly on the foundation if required to facilitate
alignment.
• Tighten discharge flange bolting- be sure the flange mate without forcing.
• Tighten anchor bolting.
1.1.5 PIPING & CONNECTIONS
1.1.5.1 SUCTION PIPING
• A vertical pump in a suction barrel performs properly only if it is supplied with a steady
flow of liquid with a uniform velocity profile and with sufficient pressure to provide
adequate NPSH to the pump.
• Failure of the suction piping to deliver the liquid to the pump in this condition can lead
to noisy operation, swirling of liquid around the suspended pump assembly, premature
bearing failure and cavitation damage to the impeller and inlet portions of the casing.

1.1.5.2 SUCTION VALVES & MANIFOLDS

• Block valves may be installed to isolate the pump for maintenance for dry pit
applications.
• Foot valves are specially designed non-return valves sometimes used at the inlet to
bowl assemblies for well pumps to keep the column water filled and to prevent
backspin and well disturbance caused by rapidly draining water.

1.1.5.3 DISCHARGE VALVES

• A non-return valve and an isolation valve should be installed in the discharge pipe. The
non-return valve serves to protect the pump from backflow and excessive
backpressure. The isolation valve is used when starting and stopping the pump.
1.1.5.4 NON-RETURN VALVES
• Non-return valves may be installed in the discharge pipe to prevent backflow. In some
applications, non-return valves may be provided with dashpots to mitigate the
slamming effect of the valve during closing
1.1.5.5 STRAINER
• To keep unwanted solids out of the pump, a strainer may be installed at the suction bell
or case. Accumulation of debris can induce a moderate pressure drop. The strainer
typically clears itself by backflow in the pump column when the unit is stopped.
1.1.6 SETTING THE IMPELLER CLEARANCE
• The rotating element (shaft and impeller) should be raised axially before startup. An
adjusting nut or pump-to-driver shaft coupling is provided for this purpose, and the
pump shaft should be raised according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
1.1.7 ALIGNMENT

Page 8 of 18
 • Vertical line-shaft pumps are automatically aligned through registered fits between
mating parts. However, we recommend checking the alignment of the head shaft to the
driver at the time of final installation.
• After the grout has set and the foundation bolts have been properly tightened, the unit
alignment should be checked.
• After the discharge piping of the unit has been connected, the alignment should be
checked again. Alignment may be checked by mounting a dial indicator to measure shaft
movement before and after tightening flange bolts. If the unit does not stay in alignment
after being properly installed, the following are possible causes:
• Setting, seasoning or springing of the foundation
• Excessive pipe strain distorting or shifting the machine.

9.3 FIRE PUMP TESTING & COMMISSIONING
