What to do if there is oil in the inlet piping of my KINNEY Water Pump?

  Jason BriggsAug 17, 2025
  If you find oil in the inlet piping of your KINNEY Water Pump, this may be due to the piping being at an incorrect level, in which case you should add an inlet elbow. It might also happen if the gas ballast valve was left open when stopping the pump, so add a manual or automatic valve. The absence of an isolation valve and vent valve can also cause this issue, so you should add them.

Another possible reason is incorrect or improperly positioned vibration mounts. Check to ensure that the vibration mounts are installed correctly.

  If your KINNEY Water Pump stalls, it could be due to several reasons. You should check the power at the motor, referring to the manual section on installation, as there may be an electrical loss of power. Slipping belts could also be the problem, so refer to the maintenance paragraphs on V-belt drive and changing the oil.

Another cause may be contaminated or insufficient pump oil, in which case you should disassemble and clean the pump. The pump could also be too cold, or there could be foreign particles in the pump.

Why is the ultimate pressure of my KINNEY KT Water Pump system excessively high?

  If your KINNEY Water Pump system's ultimate pressure is excessively high, it could be due to several reasons. The process equipment might be contaminated, requiring cleaning with acetone, alcohol, or similar solvents.

A malfunctioning discharge valve also can be the cause, so check the valves according to the manual section on discharge valves. The vacuum pump shaft seal could be malfunctioning, in this case you sh...
