Preinstallation Precautions

WARNING:

• When installing in a potentially explosive environment, make sure that the motor is properly certified.
• You must ground (earth) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment, the driver, and any monitoring equipment. Test the ground (earth) lead to verify that it is connected correctly.
  NOTICE:
  Supervision by an authorized Xylem representative is recommended to ensure proper installation. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or decreased performance.

Pump location guidelines

• WARNING:
  Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support this equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift equipment only at the specifically identified lifting points. Lifting devices such as eyebolts, slings, and spreaders must be rated, selected, and used for the entire load being lifted.

• CAUTION:
  CAUTION: PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD. It is not advisable to install circulators in an attic or upper floor over finished living space. If the circulator must be installed over head, or over expensive equipment, provide adequate drainage in the event of leakage. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage.

minimizes the friction loss and keeps the suction piping as short as possible.

• Make sure that the space around the pump is sufficient.
• Also make sure that you can protect the area below the pump from water damage.

| This facilitates ventilation, inspection, maintenance, and service.
If you require lifting equipment such as a hoist or tackle, make sure that there is enough space above the pump.| This makes it easier to properly use the lifting equipment and safely remove and relocate the components to a safe location.
Protect the unit from weather and water damage due to rain, flooding, and freezing temperatures.| This is applicable if nothing else is specified.
Do not install and operate the equipment in closed systems unless the system is constructed with properly-sized safety devices and control devices.| Acceptable devices:

• Pressure relief valves
• Compression tanks
• Pressure controls
• Temperature controls
• Flow controls

If the system does not include these devices, consult the engineer or architect in charge before you operate the pump.

Vibration can be transmitted to the piping system, which can result in objectionable noise away from the pump.
If the pump location is overhead, undertake special precautions to reduce possible noise transmission.| Consider a consultation with a noise specialist.
When possible, locate the pump below the fluid level.| This facilitates priming, ensures a steady flow of liquid, and provides a positive suction head on the pump.

Piping checklist
The code for pressure piping, ANSI B31.1, lists types of supports available for various applications.

WARNING:

• The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric expansion. The associated forces can cause the failure of system components and the release of high-temperature fluids. In order to prevent this, install properly sized and located compression tanks and pressure-relief valves. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death, or property damage.
• Avoid serious personal injury and property damage. Make sure that the flange bolts are adequately torqued.

NOTICE:

Never force piping to make a connection with a pump.

Check that the pump is not supported by placing hangers or floor supports on the motor.| Shaft misalignment and subsequent premature coupling and bearing wear will result if motor is improperly supported.|
Check that a section of straight pipe, with a length that is five times its diameter, is installed between the suction side of the pump and the first elbow, or that a B&G Suction Diffuser is installed.| This reduces suction turbulence by straightening the flow of liquid before it enters the pump.

The length of the pipe must be equal to five times the diameter of the suction pipe size

|
Check that the suction and discharge pipes are supported independently by use of pipe hangers near the pump.| This eliminates pipe strain on the pump.|
Check that there is a strong, rigid support for the suction and discharge lines.| As a rule, ordinary wire or band hangers are not adequate to maintain proper alignment.|
For pumps with flanges, check that the bolt holes in the pump flanges match the bolt holes in the pipe flanges.| —|
Check that the suction or discharge lines are not forced into position.| Coupling and bearing wear will result if suction or discharge lines are forced into position.|
Check that fittings for absorbing expansion are installed in the system when considerable temperature changes are expected.| This helps to avoid strain on the pump.|
Check| Explanation/comment| Checked
---|---|---
Check that you have a foot valve of equal or greater area than the pump suction piping when you use in an open system with a suction lift.| Prevent clogging by using a strainer at the suction inlet next to the foot valve. Make sure that the strainer has an area three times that of the suction pipe with a mesh hole diameter of no less than 0.25 in. (0.64 cm).|
Check that a B&G Triple Duty® valve is installed in the discharge line.| This valve serves as a check valve that protects the pump from water hammer, and serves as an isolation valve for servicing and for throttling.|
Check that the pipeline has isolation valves around the pump and has a drain valve in the suction pipe.| —|
Use PTFE tape sealer or a high quality thread sealant when you install the suction and discharge connections to a threaded pump housing.| —|
On an open system, check that the end of the suction pipe is at least 3 ft. below the surface of the water in the suction well.| This prevents air from being drawn into the pump. Avoid air pockets in the suction line and make sure that each section of the suction pipe is air tight.|
Check that new flange gaskets are installed between the flanges of the pump body end suction and discharge pipes. Make sure that these gaskets are clean and grease-free.| Suitable fasteners for this connection are supplied in the Xylem fastener pack. Apply a torque of 8 to 11 ft. lbs (11 to 15 Nm) to each of the flange bolts. Both the suction and discharge flanges must be torqued to the same level.|

Pump orientation
You can install this pump to discharge up, down, left, or right. However, make sure that you install the pump according to these pump orientation guidelines:

• Reposition the pump body by removing the body bolts and rotating the body around the bearing assembly.
• Only install the pump with the motor shaft horizontal.

WARNING:

• Failure to follow these precautions before you start the unit will lead to serious personal injury and equipment failure.
• Explosion hazard. Do not short battery terminals together or damage the battery.
• Do not operate the pump below the minimum rated flows or with the suction or discharge valves closed. These conditions can create an explosive hazard due to vaporization of pumped fluid and can quickly lead to pump failure and physical injury.
• If the pump, motor, or piping operate at extremely high or low temperatures, then guarding or insulation is required. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death, and property damage.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
• Operating the pump in reverse rotation can result in the contact of metal parts, heat generation, and breach of containment.

NOTICE:

• Verify the driver settings before you start any pump.
• Make sure that the warm-up rate does not exceed 2.5°F (1.4°C) per minute.

You must follow these precautions before you start the pump:

• Flush and clear the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in order to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
• Bring variable-speed drivers to the rated speed as quickly as possible.
• If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 200°F (93°C), then warm up the pump prior to operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing temperature is within 100°F (38°C) of the fluid temperature.
  At initial startup, do not adjust the variable-speed drivers or check for speed governor or over-speed trip settings while the variable-speed driver is coupled to the pump. If the settings have not been verified, then uncouple the unit and refer to instructions supplied by the driver manufacturer.

Check the rotation

WARNING:

• Operating the pump in reverse rotation can result in the contact of metal parts, heat generation, and breach of containment.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
  1. Unlock power to the driver.
  2. Make sure that everyone is clear, and then jog the driver long enough to determine that the direction of rotation corresponds to the arrow on the pump. Pump rotation is clockwise when viewed from the back of the motor. An arrow is provided to show rotational direction.
  3. Lock out power to the driver.

 Lubrication requirements

These pumps are permanently lubricated.

Make sure that the pump body is full of liquid before startup. If the system does not automatically fill the pump body with liquid, then you must manually prime the pump.

1. Loosen the vent plugs on the pump body.
2. While venting the air from the pump body, rotate the pump shaft a few times by hand.
3.  After all air has been purged from the pump, close the vent plugs.

Start the pump

WARNING:
Pressurize the pump body slowly while you check for leaks at all joints with gaskets. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
CAUTION:
Observe the pump for vibration levels, bearing temperature, and excessive noise. If normal levels are exceeded, shut down the pump and resolve the issue.

Before you start the pump, you must perform these tasks:

• Open the suction valve.
• Open any recirculation or cooling lines.
  1. Fully close or partially open the discharge valve, depending on system conditions.
  2. Start the driver.
  3. Slowly open the discharge valve until the pump reaches the desired flow.
  4. Immediately check the pressure gauge to ensure that the pump quickly reaches the correct discharge pressure.
  5. If the pump fails to reach the correct pressure, perform these steps:
  6. Stop the driver.
  7. Restart the driver.
  8. Monitor the pump while it is operating:
  9. Check the pump for bearing temperature, excessive vibration, and noise.
  10. If the pump exceeds normal levels, then shut down the pump immediately and correct the problem.
  11. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the pump runs properly.

Pump operation precautions
General considerations

CAUTION:

• Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow from the suction side since this can result in decreased performance, unexpected heat generation, and equipment damage.
• Do not overload the driver. Driver overload can result in unexpected heat generation and equipment damage. The driver can overload in these circumstances:
  • The specific gravity of the pumped fluid is greater than expected.
  • The pumped fluid exceeds the rated flow rate.
• Make sure to operate the pump at or near the rated conditions. Failure to do so can result in pump damage from cavitation or recirculation.

Operation at reduced capacity

• WARNING:

Never operate any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge. Operation, even for a brief period under these conditions, can cause confined pumped fluid to overheat, which results in a violent explosion. You must take all necessary measures to avoid this condition.

• CAUTION:
  Avoid excessive vibration levels. Excessive vibration levels can damage the bearings, stuffing box or seal chamber, and the mechanical seal, which can result in decreased performance.

• NOTICE:

  • Avoid increased radial load. Failure to do so can cause stress on the shaft and bearings.
  • Avoid heat build-up. Failure to do so can cause rotating parts to score or seize.
  • Avoid cavitation. Failure to do so can cause damage to the internal surfaces of the pump.

Operation under freezing conditions

NOTICE:
Do not expose an idle pump to freezing conditions. Drain all liquid that is inside the pump and the cooling coils. Failure to do so can cause liquid to freeze and damage the pump.

Shut down the pump

1. Slowly close the discharge valve.
2. Shut down and lock the driver to prevent accidental rotation.

 Maintenance

Disassembly
Disassembly precautions
This manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be adhered to.

WARNING:

• Make sure that the pump is isolated from the system and that pressure is relieved before you disassemble the pump, remove plugs, open vent or drain valves, or disconnect the piping.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy. Use proper lifting methods and wear steel-toed shoes at all times.
• After you disassemble a gasket joint, always use a new gasket upon reassembly. Never reuse old gaskets. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury, death, and/or property damage.
• NOTICE:
  Make sure that all replacement parts are available before you disassemble the pump for overhaul.

 Drain the pump

CAUTION:

setscrew is positioned over the dimple. Tighten the setscrew so that it seats in the dimple. Tighten the other setscrew if there is one.
Is keyed and uses a size 3J coupler| Slide the coupler half on the shaft. Do not tighten the setscrew.
Is keyed and uses a size 4J coupler| Slide the coupler half onto the shaft so that the shaft end extends 0.25 in. (0.64 cm) past the coupler half flange face. Tighten the setscrews.
Is keyed and uses a size 5J coupler| Slide the coupler half onto the shaft so that the shaft end is flush with the coupler half flange face. Tighten the setscrews.

Position the coupler half on the motor shaft:

a coupler setscrew is positioned over the dimple. Tighten the setscrew and make sure it seats in the dimple. Tighten the other setscrew if there is one.
The motor shaft is keyed| Slide the coupler half onto the motor shaft. Do not tighten the setscrews.

• Place the new insert in the pump side coupler half.
• Lift the motor into position, align the insert and motor coupler half, and then bolt the motor in place.
•  Slide the coupler over the insert:

1. Use a screwdriver to slide the pump side coupler over the insert as far as possible.
2. Gap the coupler by sliding the pump coupler half back 1/16 in.
3. Tighten the setscrews

The motor shaft is keyed and the pump shaft is either dimpled or keyed|

1. Use a screwdriver to slide the motor side coupler over the insert as far as possible.
2. Gap the coupler by sliding the motor coupler half back 1/16 in.
3. Tighten the setscrews

When an elastomeric type coupler is used with a keyed pump and/or motor shaft, do not leave the insert compressed between the coupler halves. There must be a gap between the ends of the insert and the coupler flanges to accommodate shaft expansion and contraction. If the insert is not gapped, the pump and motor bearings are subjected to excessive loads, which leads to premature failure. However, it is possible to have too large a gap. The gap is considered excessive when the insert teeth are not completely engaged in the coupler halves.

• Insert the conduit and power leads on the conduit box.

• Connect the power leads to the motor leads.

• Install the conduit box cover.

• Check that the motor rotation is clockwise when viewed from the back of the motor.

• Fill and bleed the system and then check for leaks.

WARNING:
 Pressurize the pump body slowly while you check for leaks at all joints with gaskets. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
