Figure 5-1: Recommended Anchor Bolt Arrangement
5.3 Suction Barrel Installation
If a suction barrel has been furnished with the pump it must be mounted to a firm foundation. The suction
vessel must provide permanent, rigid support to the pump and motor. It is recommended that concrete
foundations have anchor bolts installed in sleeves twice the diameter of the bolt to allow alignment with the
holes in the mounting plate, however, sleeves are not required and anchor bolts may be directly installed in
concrete. Level the pump mounting surface, then grout and anchor in place.
5.4 Vertical Turbine Pump Installation for Wet Pit (Type VS1)
1. Position the lifting equipment so it will center over the foundation opening.
2. If a soleplate is used, level the mounting surface then grout and anchor in place.
DANGER
LIFTING DEVICE SAFETY
• Use mechanical lifting devices to lift heavy or awkward components.
• Lifting devices must be in good condition, certified, and tagged.
• Lifting devices of adequate capacity must be used whenever they are required.
• Personnel must never work under suspended loads.
DANGER
LIFTING POINT SAFETY
Check lifting lugs are in suitable condition for lifting, before lifting pump parts.
CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP
Clean the sump and piping of all abrasive particles and loose debris before starting
installation, to avoid any damage to the pump.
