Lift-Out Coupling Models
These instructions cover the entire range of lift-out couplings offered. Most
lift-out couplings are designed for pumps with vertical discharge; as well, we
now offer our newest lift-out coupling designed for 2-1/2″ and 3″ discharge.
General Construction
The standard lift-out coupling base as well as the slide plate assembly is
made of cast iron. The guide plate is made of galvanized steel. The guide
plate, top rail support and intermediate rail support are made of galvanized
steel with the option of stainless steel. The slide plate assembly is also
available in optional stainless steel and non sparkling brass.
Lift-Out Chain
The two chain packages available are galvanized and stainless steel. Each
package is designed to attach to the top of the pump and also to the guide
plate. Each package is designed to allow the pump to be safely hoisted up the
guide rails.
Rail Support Bracket
All the lift-outs are designed to use 1/2″ standard pipe for guide rails. A
top rail support is available to be mounted to the hatch frame. Intermediate
brackets are available for deep installations.
It is recommended that if the rail length is over 12 feet, an intermediate
bracket be installed.
Pump Installation
Installing Rail System Parts
Discharge Base and Rails
- Lower the base elbow into the basin.
- Position the base elbow by dropping a plumb line from the center of the pipe supports, located on top rail support, to center of rail pins protruding from the base elbow. Level the elbow flange in two directions 90° to each other. Mark the position of the base hold-down bolts through the holes in the base.
- Move the base aside to allow for installation of mounting bolts (not included). Secure base to mounting bolts.
- Cut the pipe guide rails (supplied by others) to the proper length and install them between the pipe supports at the top of the basin and the pins on the base. It is recommended that the guide rails be schedule 40, galvanized or stainless steel.
IMPORTANT: Discharge pipe and guide rails must be parallel if intermediate guide bracket is used.
Installing Intermediate Guide
Bracket (required for each 12 feet of basin depth)
- Remove guide rails 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.
- Place the cut pieces of pipe over the guide rail pins located in the base.
- Set the intermediate guide bracket in position with guides into pipe. Put U-bolt around discharge pipe and tighten lightly.
- Measure from joint on plug on intermediate guide bracket to joint on plug on top rail support and cut two (2) rails to the length. Put rails in place and tighten screws in top of rail support.
- Recheck rails; they must be straight and plumb. Move intermediate guide bracket if necessary to perfectly align the rails after alignment is secured; tighten nuts on U-bolt.
- If a second intermediate guide bracket is used, the above procedure is followed for installation.
Attaching Disconnect to Pump
- Remove close quarter elbow from sealing plate. Three cap screws hold elbow to sealing plate.
- Thread elbow into pump volute.
- Bolt on sealing plate.
- Set lifting chain bail with one
- end on guide plate eyebolt and the other end on pump lifting eye.
Installing Pump and Disconnect
Attach the lifting chain to the bail with clevis, sliding the clevis along bail until the center of gravity is found.
An additional clevis hook is provided with the chain package to be fastened on the top rail support to hold the upper end of the chain when not in use. Position pump so the guide rails are located in the slots of the guide plate. Slowly lower the pump down the guide rails to the base. The locating pins (horizontal pins on sealing plate) should come to seat in the inclined surface on the arms.
IMPORTANT: When using the lift-out check valve option – recommend 3–5′
per second, maximum velocity (all models).
