Figure 13:
Close discharge gate valve, open 1st stage vent valve and open valve "S" in priming supply line
until all air is expelled and water issues from vent opening. Close valve "S", close 1st stage air vent
valve and start pump; then open discharge gate valve.
b) By Separate Hand or Manually Controlled Priming Pump (See
Figure 14:
Close discharge gate valve (keep 1st stage air vent valves closed) and open 2nd stage air vent
valve (valve "S") in line to priming pump. Exhaust air from pump and suction piping until water flows
from priming pump. Close valve "S", start pump and open discharge gate valve.
By reversing connections on priming pump and extending priming pump suction to source of liquid
supply, centrifugal pump may be primed by pumping liquid into casing until liquid comes out of the
open 1st stage air vent valve.
In either of these methods (a) and (b), the pump will remain primed, provided foot valve is tight. Any
failure, however, of foot valve when pump is standing idle, will permit the pump to lose its prime.
During long idle periods, the pump can also lose its prime through leakage from stuffing boxes.
