Horizontal End Suction Pump for Chemical Process, ASME B73.1-2001
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual – CPP21
• Grout forms should be attached with drilled anchors. Do not power nail.
• Apply three coats of paste wax to the inside surfaces of the forms in order to
prevent adherence. Do not use oil or liquid wax.
• Prevent grout leakage, as leaks will not self-seal.
Apply the grout. The use of push tools to get rid of trapped air is allowed if done in long strokes.
• Do not vibrate or violently ram the grout (it may cause the aggregates to
separate).
• Do not plug any baseplate fill or vent holes until the grout has set to avoid
baseplate distortion.
• Check with the supplier of the grout the preferred thickness for your
installation.
4. Tap baseplate to eliminate air pockets.
• It is imperative to get rid of all trapped air before the grout hardens.
• Check frequently for grout leaks.
• Leaks will not self-seal and may cause voids.
5. Remove jackscrews and grout-forms once the grout has completely hardened (takes around 3 days).
6. Do not use grout to fill the jackscrew’s holes; use a sealant material instead.
7. Tighten the foundation bolts with an appropriate torque value. In case of doubt, please contact your
Ruhrpumpen representative.
8. Apply oil paint to exposed grout to protect from air and moisture.
