8.  Install the inboard head o-ring (72) into inboard head (20).  

Chemically compatible, high viscosity grease can be used 
to hold o-ring to aid installation. 

9.  Install the inboard head and bearing assembly (20) on the 

pump cylinder with the V-notch up, towards the bottom of 
the cylinder for right hand builds and down for left hand 
builds. See Figure 12. Ensure the head is fully seated and 
bolt holes are aligned with threaded cylinder holes.

10. Install key (35A) into rotor/shaft (13) keway.  Slide driven 

magnet assembly (52) onto rotor/shaft (13).  Place washer 
(58) and capscrew (59) onto end of shaft and hand tighten.  
Torque screw to 12.5 ft-lbf (17 Nm). 

11. Install containment shell o-ring into inboard head.  Install 

containment shell (50) onto inboard head dowel (20).  
Rotate containment shell retaining groove towards the top 
of the pump as shown in Figure 13.  This will align it with 
the pin in the magnet housing. 

 

Figure 13 – Containment shell Installation Orientation 

 

NOTICE:

 

There will be a magnetic attraction between the magnet 
housing and the containment shell/driven magnet.  Take 
care to only hold magnet housing on the rectangular end, 
while lowering.  Never place hands on round end or 
between the magnetic housing and containment shell 
while installing. 

 

12. Align magnet housing dowel (57) with containment shell 

(50) and begin lowering magnet housing onto containment 
shell.  Magnet housing may bind on containment shell.  
Use light taps with a dead-blow hammer to continue until 
magnet housing moves freely.  Ensure locating pin is 
aligned with containment shell retaining groove and that 
holes are aligned with inboard head and cylinder holes.  
Light force may be required to hold magnet housing onto 
inboard head. 

13. Lubricate the Inboard head capscrews (21) with a quality 

grade of anti-seize compound and install.  Torque to 25 ft-
lbs (34Nm). 

14. Install four 3/8-16 UNC, 4 inch long, fully threaded screws 

into bearing housing jacking holes.  Refer to figure 6 for 
location.  Thread screws all the way into bearing housing. 

15. Align driving magnet assembly (53) with magnet housing 

(57).  Ensure bearing housing installation screws are 
contacting machined pads on magnet housing.  See Figure 
14.

NOTICE:

 

Be prepared for strong magnetic attraction between the 
driving and driven magnet assemblies.  Never insert any 
part of body between magnet assemblies or between 
magnet and bearing housing. 

 

16. Slowly turn jacking screws counter clockwise to lower the 

bearing housing (106) onto the magnet housing (57).  
Alternate screw location, while attempting to keep driving 
magnet assembly (53) as concentric to containment shell 
(50) as possible. 

17. Install bearing housing capscrews (106D) and torque to 58 

ft-lbf (79 Nm). 

18. Rotate power end shaft to ensure free rotation.
