Following items are required:
- Guide bars consisting of two hot dip galvanized or stainless steel pipes.
- Sliding Bracket for attaching the guide bars to the access frame or the upper
part of the sump.
- Level regulators or other control equipment for start, stop and alarm.
- Cable holder for holding the cable and regulating the height of the level
regulators.
- Access frame (with covers) to which the Sliding Rail supporter and cable
holder can be attached.
- Discharge connection for connecting the pump to the discharge line. The
discharge connection has a flange which fits the pump casing flange and a
bracket for attaching the guide equipment.
- Bushes for vibration damping between the guide bars and the discharge
connection.
Instructions
- Provide a barrier around the pump pit, for example a guardrail.
- Arrange for a cable between the sump and the electric control box.
- Make sure that the cables are not sharply bent or pinched.
- Place the access frame in position.
- Align the access frame so that it is horizontal and then grout it in place.
Grout the anchor bolts in place. Be careful when aligning and positioning the
discharge connection in relation to the access frame.
- Place the discharge connection in position and tighten the nuts.
- Secure the guide bars in the bracket.
- Check that the guide bars are placed vertically by using a level or a plumb line.
- Connect the discharge pipe to the discharge connection.
- Bolt the cable holder to the access frame. Thread the level regulator cables
through the holes in to the cable holder and adjust the height of the level
regulators.
- Protect bolts and nuts with corrosion preventive compound.
- Lower the pump along the guide bars.
- Fasten the lifting chain (stainless steel) on the access frame and the cables on
the cable holder. Make sure that the cables can not be sucked into the inlet of
the pump.
- Support straps are required for deep installations.
- Run the cables up to the electric control box.
- Clean out debris from the sump before starting up the station.
The pump can be hoisted up along the guide bars for inspection without any
connections having to be undone.
