5.5 Vertical Turbine Can Pump Installation (Type VS6)
1. Position the lifting equipment so it will center over the suction vessel mounting flange (refer to “Suction
Barrel Installation” on page 20).
2. Clean the suction vessel mounting flange, oil lightly, and position the gasket. Clean the pump mounting
flange and oil lightly.
3. Clean the pump discharge flange (and suction flange wherever applicable).
4. Lift the pump, mount the strainer if required and lower slowly into the suction vessel. Guide the pump as
it is being lowered and watch for any obstructions or binding of the pump. Stop lowering the unit when
still a few inches off the mounting flange.
5. Rotate the pump until the discharge flange faces the proper direction for alignment with piping. Align the
mounting flange bolt holes.
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 suction vessel and piping of all abrasive particles and loose debris before
installation, to avoid any damage to the pump.
NOTICE
• All machined surfaces are coated with rust preventative prior to shipment. This must be
completely removed along with any paint overspray or rust which might be there on the
machined faces.
• The faces must be scraped and wire brushed first.
• Use fine emery cloth to remove any stubborn spots.
NOTICE
• Type VC can pumps have the suction nozzle located on the discharge head.
• Type AF, CF, VF and VFR can pumps have the suction nozzle located on the suction
vessel.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Be particularly careful not to damage any piping which may extend down along the column
and/or bowl assembly. This piping (when used) must not be crushed. If damaged, remove
and replace it.
