3 Foundation Requirements
1. Pour grout here up to top surface / plane of base plate
2. Nut
3. Washer
4. Base plate
5. Shims or levelling wedges
6. Bolt sleeve
7. Anchor bolt
8. Concrete foundation
9. Position levelling wedges / shims on both sides of each anchor bolt
Notes:
• Distance from the base plate to the edge of the foundation to be greater than or equal to
1.5”.
• Foundation weight should be greater than or equal to 2.5 times of pump weight.
4 Piping Requirements
1. Check that a section of straight pipe, with a length that is a minimum of five times its di‐
ameter, is installed between the suction side of the pump and the first elbow, or that a
B&G Suction Diffuser is installed.
2. Check that there is a strong, rigid support for the suction and discharge lines.
3. Check that the suction or discharge lines are not forced into position.
4. Check that flexible piping is used on both the suction and discharge sides of the pump
when you use an isolation base.
5. Check that a B&G Triple Duty
®
valve is installed in the discharge line.
6. Check that the pipeline has isolation valves around the pump and has a drain valve in the
suction pipe.
5 Coupling Alignment
WARNING:
• Follow shaft alignment procedures in order to prevent cata‐
strophic failure of drive components or unintended contact of
rotating parts. Follow the coupling installation and operation
procedures from the coupling manufacturer.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before
you perform any installation or maintenance tasks. Failure to
disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious
physical injury.
NOTICE:
Proper alignment is the responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check the align‐
ment of frame-mounted units before you operate the unit. Failure to do so can result in equip‐
ment damage or decreased performance.
6 Checking Rotation
=
1. Lock out power to the driver.
2. Make sure that the coupling hubs are fastened securely to the shafts.
3. Unlock power to the driver.
4. Make sure that everyone is clear, and then jog the driver long enough to determine that
the direction of rotation corresponds to the arrow on the pump.
5. Lock out power to the driver.
For safety and correct product usage, read the manual before this product is used.
