ITT Goulds Pumps V 3298, Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

Page: 16 / 148

!
All equipment being installed must be properly
grounded to prevent unexpected static electric
discharge. This includes ensuring that the PFA
lined pumps are pumping fluids that are conductive.
If not, a static electric discharge may occur when the
pump is drained and disassembled for maintenance
purposes.
Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type (Fig. 10)
and J type (Fig. 11). Both designs permit movement for
final bolt adjustment.
1. Inspect foundation for dust, dirt, oil, chips, water, etc.
and remove any contaminants. Do not use oil-based
cleaners as grout will not bond to it.
2. Prepare the foundation in accordance with the grout
manufacturer’s recommendations.
LEVEL BASEPLATE
CAST IRON / FABRICATED STEEL
1. Place two sets of wedges or shims on the foundation,
one set on each side of every foundation bolt
(Fig. 12, 13). The wedges should extend .75 in.
(20 mm) to 1.5 in. (40 mm) above the foundation, to
allow for adequate grouting. This will provide even
support for the baseplate once it is grouted.
2. Remove water and/or debris from anchor bolt
holes/sleeves. If the sleeve type bolts are being used,
fill the sleeves with rags to prevent grout from
entering.
3. Carefully lower baseplate onto foundation bolts.
4. Level baseplate to within .125 in.(3mm) over the length of
the base and .062 in. (1.5 mm) over the width of the base by
adjusting shims or wedges.
5. Hand tighten bolts.
