4.6.5 Auxiliary-piping checklist
Precautions
CAUTION:
•
Risk of heat generation, seal failure, and possible physical injury. Sealing systems that
are not self-purging or self-venting, such as plan 23, require manual venting prior to oper-
ation.
•
Running a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal failure and physi-
cal injury. Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to the mechanical seal.
NOTICE:
Auxiliary cooling and flush systems must be operating properly to prevent excess heat genera-
tion, sparks, and/or premature failure. Ensure auxiliary piping is installed as specified on the
pump data sheet prior to startup.
When to install
You may need to install auxiliary piping for bearing cooling, mechanical seal flush, or other special fea-
tures supplied with the pump. Consult the pump data sheet for specific auxiliary piping recommenda-
tions.

4.6.6 Final piping checklist
Check
Explanation/comment
Checked
Check that the shaft rotates smoothly.
Rotate the shaft by hand. Make sure there is no rubbing that
can lead to excess heat generation or sparks.
Re-check the alignment to make sure that
pipe strain has not caused any misalign-
ment.
If pipe strain exists, then correct the piping.
