Figure 15: Baseplate grouting
1. Build a strong form around the foundation to contain the grout.
2. Soak the top of the foundation thoroughly, then remove surface water.
3. Completely fill the baseplate with grout.
If necessary, temporarily use air relief tubing or drill vent holes in order to remove trapped
air.
4. After the grout has completely hardened, tighten the foundation bolts.
It will take approximately 24 hours for the grout to harden.
5. Check the alignment.
6. Approximately fourteen days after the grout has been poured and the grout has completely
dried, apply an oil-based paint to the exposed edges of the grout in order to prevent air and
moisture from coming in contact with the grout.

Precautions
CAUTION:
Do not move the pump to the pipe. This could make final alignment impossible.
CAUTION:
Flange loads from the piping system, including those from the thermal expansion of the
piping, must not exceed the limits of the pump. Casing deformation can result in contact with
rotating parts, which can result in excess heat generation, sparks, and premature failure.
