Lift-Out System

General Construction:
The base and pump guide plate on all the models are made of ASTM A536 ductile iron (see Fig. 1). The mounting flange on all of the models is made of ASTM A48 Class 30 cast iron. The locating pins and all fasteners are made of 300 series stainless steel. Gaskets are constructed of neoprene rubber material. The elbows are constructed of ASTM A48 Class 125 cast iron. The hazardous location/nonsparking models have 260 yellow brass sleeved onto the locating pins and have a cast brass mounting plate to meet the nonsparking requirements.

Lift-Out Chain:
Hydromatic offers lift-out chain packages for each pump we manufacture. Packages vary depending on the pump design and requirements. Each lift-out chain package is  designed to mount to the top of the pump and allow the pump to be safely hoisted up the guide rail.

Rail Support Brackets:
The TLX lift-outs are designed to use 2″ standard pipe for guide rails. A top rail support bracket is available to be mounted tothe hatch frame. Intermediatebrackets are  available for deep basins. It is recommended that if the rail length is over 21′, that an intermediate bracket be installed.
After every additional 20′ of rail, another intermediate bracketshould be used for proper rail support.

Basin Covers:
Hydromatic has several types of  basin covers available for usewith either fiberglass or concrete basins. Basin hatch type covers are available in either steel or aluminum  construction. The basin cover frame is designed to allow for mounting of rail support brackets.

Basin Bottom:
All cement pipe basins must have a smooth level troweled bottom for level mounting of discharge casting.

Junction Boxes:
If a junction box is used in a hazardous location, it must be an hazardous location approved type with hazardous location cord connectors. Wires from the junction box must  pass through an hazardous location seal connector.

Level Sensing Controls:
Intrinsically safe type float controls are recommended for all applications and required for hazardous location/nonsparking service. An intrinsically safe control panel relay  will limit the current and voltage to the level controls. A Hydromatic control panel can be supplied with this type circuitry.

The float level controls maintain the basin sewage water level by controlling pump turn-on and turn-off levels.

  1. The lower turn-off control should be set so that the pump stops at approximately the top of the pump. Consult the factory for any settings below this point.
  2. The upper turn-on control should be set above the lower turn-off control. The exact height between the two controls is determined by the number of pump starts desired and the depth of basin. A maximum of 10 starts per hour should not be exceeded.
  3. The override control is set at a specified height above the upper turn-on control.
  4. The alarm control is set about 6″ – 12″ above the override control. 5. No control should be set above the inlet invert.

Valves:
It is recommended that all check valves and shut-off valves be mounted outside the sump in a valve box. (See typical drawing detail, Fig. 1.) Shut-off valves should be of the  water works approved type with resilient rubber disk seat.
CAUTION: After the pump is installed and sewage has entered the basin there is danger. Sewage water gives off methane and hydrogen sulfide gases, which are poisonous. Never enter a wetwell unless proper confined space entry procedures are followed.

Installing Rail System Parts

(Fig. 3)
Mounting Cover, Discharge Base and Rails:

  1. Set concrete cover with hatch opening in position.

  2. Bolt top rail support plates (Fig. 4) to hatch frame. The plate has slots so the two plates in a duplex system can be adjusted to obtain required center-to-center distance between pumps.

  3. Lower the base or base/elbow assembly into the basin.

  4. Position the base elbow assembly by dropping a plumb line from center of pipe supports, located on top rail support plate, to center of tapered pins protruding from the top of the base elbow assembly. Level the elbow flange in two directions, 90° to each other. Shims may be required under the base in order to obtain this level condition. Mark the position of the base hold-down bolts through the holes in the base.

  5. Move the base aside to allow drilling of the concrete for 3/4″ expansion bolts, 2-1/2″ long. Move the base over the bolt holes and recheck with level and plumb line. Install expansion bolts.

  6. Cut the pipe guide rails to the proper length and install them between the pipe supports at the top of the basin and pins on the base. Guide rails are Schedule 40, galvanized or stainless steel.

  7. Install discharge pipe as required by the particular job specifications.
    IMPORTANT: Dischargepipe and guide rails must be parallel if intermediate guide bracket is used.

  8. If the top rail support plate cannot be attached to the hatch cover frame, a special rail bracket (Fig. 5) can be furnished for mounting directly to a pipe cemented in the basin wall. This bracket is set and aligned with discharge base the same as described for the rail guide plate attached to the frame.

Installing Intermediate Guide Bracket

(Fig. 6)

21 Ft. or less 0
21 Ft. to 40 Ft. 1
Over 40 Ft. 2
  1. Remove guide rails (Fig. 3), and cut a piece from each one. These pipes must be exactly the same length and of a length that will permit installing the intermediate guide bracket in the desired location.

  2. Place the cut pieces of pipe over the guide rail pins located in the base.

  3. Set the intermediate guide bracket in position with tapered guides into pipes. Put U-bolt around discharge pipe and tighten lightly.

  4. Measure from joint on tapered plug on intermediate guide bracket to joint of tapered plug on top rail support and cut two rails to this length. Put rails in place and tighten screws in top rail support.
    Holes are slotted to adjust for any error in rail pipe length.

  5. Recheck rails; they must be straight and plumb. Move intermediate guide bracket if necessary to perfectly align rails. After alignment is secured, tighten nuts on U-bolt.

  6. If a second intermediate guide bracket is used, the above procedure is followed for installation.

Attaching Mounting Plate to Pump

  1. 1. Attach the mounting plate with the supplied bolts. (See Parts List, page 5.)
    The mounting plate should be turned so that the two locating pins are horizontal when attached to the pump discharge.

  2. Mount the guide plate to the mounting plate using the two set screws provided.

Installing Pump and Mounting Plate

  1. Attach the lifting chain to the pump. This is done by installing two eye bolts.
    WARNING: Do not exceed working load limit of chains and other lifting devices.
    Do not use chains or lifting  devices where failure could result in loss of life. Examinechains and lifting devices for deformation or damage before and after each lift.

  2. A hook is located on the top rail support (Fig. 3) to hold
