Series Assembly

GR3/GR4-Series Assembly

  • The GR3/GR4-Series quick pump disconnect assemblies are designed to allow easy pump installation and removal.
  • When installed correctly, the guide rail assembly creates a tight discharge seal and provides a means to lift the pump without disconnecting any of the discharge piping.
  • Ensure that installation is done per instructions.
  • The guide rail system consists of three parts: Support Brackets, Mounting Claw, and Base.

Preparation

  • All claws have a sealing grommet that provides the seal between the claw and base, and also the seal between the claw and the pump.
  • Insert the grommet into a claw, then apply a light amount of sealing grease (provided) to the face of the grommet that sits on the guide rail base.

Installation

  • Base: Mount the base to the floor of the pumping chamber or vault, referring to the Base
  • Mounting Template measurements. Secure the base to the vault floor at the base slots. When mounting to a concrete surface, use 1/2” or 5/8” (14 or 16 mm) thread wedge anchors.
  • Pump Mounting Claw: The claw allows 3” or 4” solids handling.
  • Using supplied bolts, mount the claw onto the pump discharge.
  • The claws mate to a 3” or 4” ANSI 150 bolt pattern (per model selected).
  • Support brackets: Two support brackets guide and support the dual 2” (50 mm) guide rail pipes. Pipes are not included; galvanized or stainless steel is recommended.
  • The upper support bracket is used to locate the guide pipes over the guide rail base, while the mid-rail support bracket is used to limit guide pipe movement when using the guide rail.
  • Place the mid-rail support bracket roughly in the middle of the guide rail pipe span. The support bracket needs to be mounted to a support structure, bar stock, angle iron, or other secure means that attaches to the sidewalls of the vault.
  • Place the upper rail support bracket at the top of the vault, mounting it to secure the vault structure. Once installed, tighten the upper rail support top nuts.
