Bareshaft Pump Installation
Guidelines
NOTE:
This following pages contain
instailation guidelines for all of
Jetstream’s bareshaft pumps. The
TwinForce Series unit currently is
only designed for use with 4200
and 5200 Series pumps.
Models
The Jetstream UNx bareshaft pump is avail-
able in three horsepower ranges and three
pressure ranges – 15,000 psi, 20,000 psi, or
40,000 psi and can be supplied with an op-
tional geardrive. The geardrive is available
in four different gear ratios to support die-
sel engine or electric motor input speeds.
Both styles can be supplied left hand drive
or right hand drive (as viewed from FE) and
the geardrive model’s input shaft can also
be clocked to five different locations. The
geardrive unit requires inline drive with
flexible coupling***. The standard unit can
be inline or belt driven via pulleys exerting a
side load on the crank- shaft. All Jetstream
powerends have a preferred rotation direction
(top of crankshaft towards the fluid end) that
is marked on the casting. However reverse
rotation operation is allowed with the addition
of optional reverse rotation oil scrapers. The
geardrive requires a clockwise input rotation
direction.

Water Supply
The 15K and 20K versions can be gravity fed
(water level 3’ minimum above the manifold
suction inlet). The 40K version requires 40 psi
minimum supply pressure at full pump speed
to operate. All fluid ends have a maximum
inlet supply pressure of 75 psi.****
The supply water should be clean and cold. The
maximum allowed inlet water temperature
is 125°F. Ideally the water should be filtered
to 25 micron (3 micron for 40K) and 40-80°F
for maximum packing life. Severly reduced
packing life will be encountered with warmer
water. The inlet supply hose should be 3” ID if
gravity fed and 2” ID if pressure fed. Jetstream
recommends oilfield suction hose as it has
proven to be durable with a relatively small
bend radius. The hose should be as short and
straight as possible with no additional fittings
(elbows) - especially important with gravity
fed setup. If bends are required it is best to
bend the hose without the use of elbows.
The plunger packing is lubricated with the
supply water and is not adjustable on normal
gravity fed 15K/20K systems. On 40K and pres-
sure fed sys- tems, the lube harness needs
to be equipped with needle valves to allow
adjustment of the lube water flow. The cooling
water should exit the rear of the gland nuts
with a steady stream (more than a drip) but
not enough to be splashed onto the pony rod
during operation.
Pulsation
Positive displacement pumps create pulsa-
tion in the high pressure discharge line. For
this reason, it is extremely important to utilize
flexible hoses (ie rubber, thermoplastic) in lieu
of rigid piping to minimize water hammer and
vibration. If rigid piping is necessary, it should
not be installed at the pump discharge. A 25’
or 50’ section of hose should be installed at
the pump discharge. This length can be coiled
