12 6EM Thru 18GM - 1100 Vertical Turbine Pumps
CAUTION
Reduced performance and possible
equipment damage may result from
ingestion of foreign material by the pump.
Bowl Assembly
CAUTION
Turbine pumps are shipped with a shaft
retention bolt installed in the suction bell to
protect the pump from damaging shaft
movement during transit. It is imperative
that the retaining bolt be removed, and
grease added (if not already packed) to
lower bearing cavity. Install the suction bell
plug prior to pump installation. Failure to
follow these instructions will result in serious
damage to the pump. Read and heed all
warning tags and labels.
NOTE
Before proceeding, measure and record the
pump bowl assembly end play. This
information will be needed later.
Shaft projection is defined as the distance
from the discharge bowl mounting surface
(flange seat for flanged column, thread seat
for threaded column) to the end of the pump
shaft. Nominal standard shaft projection for
model 1100 sizes 6 through 18 is 17-1/2".
Since all applicable 1100 bowl assemblies
are shipped with the pump shaft bolted in its
lower most position, projection is measured
with the impellers resting at the bottom of
their axial travel.
CAUTION
Always remove the shaft retaining bolt
before installing or operating the pump.
Shaft end play is the amount of axial
movement available in the pump bowl
assembly. After removing the shaft
retaining bolt, measure and record the pump
bowl end play. This can most easily be
accomplished with the bowl assembly in a
horizontal position. Grasp the pump shaft
and move the shaft through its maximum
axial travel. Consult Table #1 in the
Technical Data Section to assure that the
distance measured complies with the
specifications for your pump model.
A discharge case is included for: a.) single-
stage open line shaft bowl assemblies;
b.) single or multi-stage oil lubricated
enclosed line shaft bowl assemblies; or c.)
single or multi-stage water-flushed lubri-
cated enclosed line shaft bowl assemblies.
Discharge cases for open line shaft units
are shipped with two pipe plugs installed.
Plugs must be left in place for discharge
cases used with enclosed line shaft water-
flushed and open line shaft units.
CAUTION
Should you receive a bowl assembly for
enclosed line shaft oil lubricated
construction that has tow pipe plugs
installed in the discharge case, THESE
PIPE PLUGS MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR
TO INSTALLATION. Failure to remove the
plugs will cause water to enter the enclosing
tube and leak out at the discharge head.
Bearing failure may result.
Suction Strainer
If a suction strainer is to be used, it is to be
either threaded into the suction case or
clipped onto the suction bell as required.
Hoisting, Leveling, Grouting & Piping
If your pump was shipped completely
assembled, it is now ready to install.
