3.7 Connection of equalizing piping
Some multi-stage pumps have equalizing piping to equalize pressure on the stuffing boxes (see
tional View and Parts List on page 41
. This piping is in the box of fittings which accompanies the pump.
The ends of the piping must be connected to the openings in each stuffing box.
3.8 Impeller adjustment
Some end suction pumps, in addition to vertical pumps, have means of adjusting impeller clearance with-
in the casing. The clearance was set at the factory, but in transit, the clearance may have been lost.
Proper clearance must be attained before a pump is operated or serious damage may occur. Check and
reset impeller clearance by method described in Impeller clearance adjustment.
