General Installation
Recommendations
•
Verify that all discharge line bolts and brackets are tight.
•
Remove the protective cover from the discharge flange.
•
Verify that the shaft is not off-center with the pump in the vertical position. Use an indicator placed as close to the
impeller as possible. Runout (TIR) should not exceed 0.003" (0.075 mm).
•
Check the level and quality of the oil in the mechanical seal chamber, making sure that the seal faces have sufficient
lubrication. The level should be above the bottom plug, as shown in the parts list in this manual. If the oil level is low,
refer to the OIL CHANGE Section.
•
If your VOGT "SSD" type pump is supplied with a cooling jacket, connect the external cooling water lines to the cooling
jacket. refer to cooling water requirements.
3.1
Pump Location
It is very important that the lifting aids for the removal and subsequent maintenance of the pump are operational.
3.2
Pre-installation
It must ensure that the cooling water lines do not freeze.
-
The "SSD" type pump should be placed at the bottom of the sump relatively flat on its suction head.
-
Avoid freezing of water in the pump or discharge line.
3.3
Discharge Line
The discharge piping should be connected to the discharge flange of the pump in such a way that the deformations
transmitted to the flange are minimized or by means of a hose to the discharge elbow nipples by means of hydraulic clamps.
We recommend that the discharge piping from the pump to the surface be of the flexible (hose) type for pumps with a
discharge between 2" and 5". For pumps with a discharge of 6" or more it is recommended to drive to the surface with rigid
piping. It is also recommended that all above grade piping be permanently installed and adequately supported.
The pump is supplied with an adapter elbow (flange/spigot) or companion flange.
3.4
Controls
Check the status of the control panel of the installed pumps. Humidity and temperature sensors.
Probe type level controls are recommended for pump lengths greater than 1,500mm.
