2 General Information
2.1 Preparation for shipment
Goulds pumps are prepared at the factory for shipment under covered conditions. They are protected for
transport and short term covered storage. Unless otherwise specified, it is assumed the pump will be in-
stalled upon delivery. Additional protection can be provided by request.
2.2 Installation
Location of unit
The pump should be located in a clean, dry area free from flooding. The area should provide adequate
space for maintenance and repair, considering complete disassembly and handling of equipment. The
unit should be positioned to provide the most efficient pipeline system.
Piping
Short, direct suction and discharge pipelines and a minimum of elbows and fittings result in the least
amount of pipe friction.
Suction piping
1. Excessive Friction losses will cause cavitation.
2. Must be kept free of air leaks, particularly in long lines or conditions of high suction lift.
3. Flow regulating valves must not be located on suction side of the pump.
Discharge piping
1. Excessive friction losses result in insufficient head.
2. A check valve should be located in the discharge line to protect the pump from reverse flow and
excessive pressure.
Piping support
The pumps are not designed to carry loads imposed by the weight of the pipeline. Suction and discharge
piping must be supported near the pump, unless otherwise specified. Pumps and sub-bases can be de-
signed to carry loads due to thermal expansion.
Foundation
The foundation must be a permanent, rigid support for the sub-base or floor-plate. It should be an indus-
trially accepted design capable of absorbing excessive vibration. Foundations are typically concrete with
anchor bolts cast into secure the pump.
An anchor bolt assembly consists of a bolt and washer with a sleeve 2 times the diameter of the bolt.
When the assembly is cast in concrete, the washer prevents the sleeve and bolt from being pulled. The
sleeve I.D. provides an adjustment allowance around the bolt. A lug is generally welded on the bolt to
prevent rotation when tightening. Anchor bolts should be located in the concrete by a template dimen-
sioned from the pump installation drawing. The top of the sleeve should be temporarily sealed with waste
material to prevent concrete from entering during the concrete pouring operation.
