Major Disassembly Instructions
The first seven steps are the same as in the minor disassembly procedure. The major disassembly involves the disassembly of the
faceplate group.
8.
Place faceplate group in a vise.
CAUTION
Use soft vise jaws to prevent damage to gasket seal surface.
9.
If Packing is used (reference assembly on page 13). Remove packing gland nuts (32) and slide packing gland (30) out of the way.
Then remove packing (29) from both seal chambers on faceplate. If pump is equipped with mechanical seals, refer to the seal
instructions that were shipped with the pump. Also, reference Page 39 for additional packing information. If Tuffseals are used
(reference assembly on page 15). Loosen Tuffseal set screws that lock the cartridge seal’s collar onto the shaft. Also, reference
Page 40 for additional Tuffseal information. If mechanical seals are used (reference assembly on page 17). Remove pipe plugs (24)
from impeller housing stuffing boxes. This allows access to the mechanical seal set screws holding the seal to the shaft. Mark the
shaft where the mechanical seal is so that the correct seal working length can be referenced upon re-assembly. Then loosen the
mechanical seal set screws. Loosen the mechanical seal gland nuts (32) and allow the mechanical seal gland to be loose on the
housing. Thus, when the shafts are pulled out of this area the gland will not fall off. Allow it to hang loosely on the studs. Also,
reference Page 41 for additional mechanical seal information.
10.
Remove six bearing hex head bolts (12).
11.
Remove the two bearing covers (14).
12.
Remove the two faceplate bearing locknuts (15).
13.
Slide impeller and shaft assembly out through the fluid chamber side of faceplate.
14.
Remove the two ball bearings (17) from the bearing bridge on faceplate.
15.
Check condition of lip seals (18) and replace if required.
16.
Remove the two setscrews (11) from each impeller hub.
17.
Press shafts through impellers by placing impeller and shaft assembly in press with threaded stub shaft up.
18.
Remove woodruff impeller keys.
Reassembly
1.
Install impellers onto shafts [For non-galling impellers (ductile iron)]. Apply lubricant to shaft end on which impeller fits (White
lead is recommended). Slip impeller on shaft from the threaded stub shaft end. Install stainless steel woodruff impeller key. Align
keyway in impeller with woodruff impeller key. Press impeller into proper position, and install setscrews as tight as possible. The
dimensions shown below are given from the shoulder on the shaft to the nearest flat face on the hub of the impeller. Wear heat-
resistant gloves when handling hot components. Install impellers onto shafts [For galling impellers (stainless steel)]. Impellers must
be shrunk on the shafts, due to galling properties of the material. Heat impellers to 500-550°F for 1 ½ -2 hours. Quickly assemble
shaft and impeller with keys in place into proper position according to the dimensions from above. Allow cooling.
Pump Size
Impeller Location (inches)
70A & 120A
5.677 – 5.690
330
6.942 – 6.955
2.
Install lip seals (18) in faceplate (22), in bottom of bearing bores on bearing bridge (19).
3.
Install faceplate bearings (17) in bearing bores. Before installation, pack bearings with grease.
