SAFETY --- SECTION A

This information applies toU Seriesba-

sic pumps. Gorman-Rupp has no con-

trol over or particular knowledge of the

power source which will be used. Refer

to the manual accompanying the power

source before attempting to begin

operation.

Beforeattemptingtoopenorservicethe

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man-

ual.

2. Disconnect or lock out the power

sourcetoensurethatthe pumpwill

remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to cool if over-

heated.

4. Check the temperature before

opening any covers, plates, or

plugs.

5. Close the suction and discharge

valves.

6. Vent the pump slowly and cau-

tiously.

7. Drain the pump.

This pump is designed to handle most

non-volatile, non-corrosive liquids con-

taining specified entrained solids. Do

not attempt to pump volatile, corrosive,

or flammable materials which may dam-

age thepump orendanger personnelas

a result of pump failure.

After the pump has been positioned,

make certain that the pump and all pip-

ing connections are tight, properly sup-

ported and secure before operation.

Do not operate the pump without the

guards in place over the rotating parts.

Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth-

ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in-

jury to personnel.

Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,

pipe plugs, or fittings from an over-

heatedpump. Vaporpressure withinthe

pump can cause parts being disen-

gaged to be ejected with great force.Al-

low the pump to cool before servicing.

Do not operate the pump against a

closed discharge valve for long periods

oftime.Ifoperatedagainstacloseddis-

charge valve, pump components will

deteriorate, and the liquid could come

to a boil, build pressure, and cause the

pump casing to rupture or explode.

PAGE A -- 2 SAFETY

Neverrunthispumpbackwards.Becer-

tain that rotation is correct before fully

engaging the pump.

Use lifting and moving equipment in

good repair and with adequate capacity

to prevent injuries to personnel or dam-

age to equipment. Suction and dis-

charge hoses and piping must be re-

moved from the pump before lifting.

INSTALLATION --- SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this

section offers only general recommendations and

practices required to inspect, position, and ar-

range the pump and piping.

Most of the information pertains to a standard

static lift application where the pump is posi-

tioned above the free levelof liquid to bepumped.

If installedinafloodedsuctionapplicationwhere

the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,

some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

specific application. Since the pressure supplied

to the pump is critical to performance and safety,

be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of

the maximum permissible operating pressure as

shown on the pump performance curve.

Forfurtherassistance, contact yourGorman-Rupp

distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assemblywas inspectedand tested be-

fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,

inspect the pump for damage which may haveoc-

curred during shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspectthepumpforcracks, dents,damaged

threads, and other obvious damage.

b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard-

ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry-

ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur-

faces.

c. Carefullyread all warnings and cautions con-

tained in this manual or affixed to the pump,

and perform all duties indicated. Note the di-

rection of rotation indicated on the pump.

Check that the pump shaft rotates clockwise

when facing the pump drive shaft.

Only operate this pump in the direction in-

dicated by the arrow on the pump body

and on the accompanying decal. Refer to

ROTATION in OPERATION,SectionC.

d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re-

fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE

AND REPAIR section of this manual and per-

form duties as instructed.

e.Ifthepumpandpowersourcehavebeen

stored for more than 12 months, some of the

components or lubricants may have ex-

ceeded their maximum shelf life. These must

be inspected or replaced to ensure maxi-

mum pump service.

If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if

anything appears to be abnormal, contact your

Gorman-Rupp distributor or the factory to deter-

minethe repairor updating policy. Donotputthe

pump into service until appropriate action has

been taken.

POSITIONING PUMP

Lifting

Use lifting equipment with a capacity of at least

3,000 pounds (1361 kg). This pump weighs ap-

proximately 600 pounds (272 kg), not including

the weight of accessories and base. Customer in-

stalled equipment such as suction and discharge

piping must be removed before attempting to lift.

Thepumpassemblycanbeseriously

damagedifthecablesorchainsusedtolift

andmovetheunitareimproperlywrapped

around the pump.

Mounting

Locatethepumpinanaccessibleplaceascloseas

practical tothe liquid being pumped. Level mount-

ing is essential for proper operation.

The pump may have to be supported or shimmed

to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra-

tion.

The complete rotating assembly may be removed

through the cover plate opening, or from the oppo-

site side after disconnecting the power source to

provide necessary clearance.

Clearance

A minimum clearance of 18 inches (457 mm) in

front of the back cover is required to permit re-

moval of the cover and easy access to the pump

interior.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

Pump performance is adversely effected by in-

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric-

tion losses. See the performance curve and oper-

ating range shown on Page E-1 to be sure your

OM--01863--02USERIES

PAGE B -- 3INSTALLATION

overall application allows pump to operate within

thesafeoperationrange.

Materials

Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and

discharge lines; however, the materials must be

compatiblewiththeliquidbeingpumped.Ifhoseis

used insuction lines, it must be the rigid-wall, rein-

forced type to prevent collapse under suction. Us-

ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom-

mended.

Line Configuration

Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as

possible to minimize friction losses. Make mini-

mum use of elbows and fittings, which substan-

tiallyincreasefriction loss.Ifelbowsarenecessary,

use the long-radius type to minimize friction loss.

Connections to Pump

Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex-

actly with the pump port. Never pulla pipe line into

place by tightening the flange bolts and/or cou-

plings.

Lines near the pump must be independently sup-

ported to avoid strain on the pump which could

cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life,

and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose-type

linesareused, theyshouldhaveadequatesupport

to secure them when filled with liquid and under

pressure.

Gauges

Most pumps are drilled and tapped for installing

discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges.

If these gauges are desired for pumps that arenot

tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge

lines not less than 18 inches (457,2 mm) from the

suction and discharge ports and install the lines.

Installation closer tothe pump may result in erratic

readings.

SUCTION LINES

Toavoidairpocketswhichcouldaffectpumpprim-

ing, the suction line must be as short and direct as

possible.Whenoperationinvolvesasuctionlift,the

line must always slope upward to the pump from

the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line

slopes down to the pump at any point along the

suction run, air pockets will be created.

Fittings

Suction lines should bethe same size as the pump

inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they

should be the eccentric type, and should be in-

stalled withthe flatpart ofthe reducers uppermost

to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor-

mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,

install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock-

ets.

Strainers

If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain

touseit;anysphericalsolidswhichpassthrougha

strainer furnished with the pump will also pass

through the pump itself.

If a strainer is not furnished with the pump, but is

installed by the pump user, make certain that the

total area of the openings in the strainer is at least

three or four times the cross section of the suction

line, and that the openings will not permit passage

of solids larger than the solids handling capability

of the pump.

This pump is designed to handle up to 1-1/8 inch

(28,6 mm) diameter spherical solids.

Sealing

Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head,

and capacity, especially when operating with a

high suction lift, all connections in the suction line

should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an air-

tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s rec-

ommendations when selecting and applying the

pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible

with the liquid being pumped.

OM--01863--02 USERIES

PAGE B -- 4 INSTALLATION

Suction Lines In Sumps

If a single suction line is installed in a sump, it

should be positioned away from the wall of the

sump at a distance equal to1 1/2 times the diame-

ter of the suction line.

If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the

sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc-

tion inlet because the inflow willcarry air down into

the sump, and air entering the suction line will re-

duce pump efficiency.

If it is necessary to position inflow close to the suc-

tioninlet, installa bafflebetween the inflow and the

suction inlet at a distance 1 1/2 times the diameter

of the suction pipe. The baffle will allow entrained

air to escape from the liquid before it is drawn into

the suction inlet.

If two suction lines are installed in a single sump,

theflowpathsmayinteract,reducingtheefficiency

of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the

suction inlets so that they are separated by a dis-

tance equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the

suction pipe.

Suction Line Positioning

The depth of submergence of the suction line is

critical to efficient pump operation. Figure 2 shows

recommended minimum submergence vs. veloc-

ity.

NOTE

The pipe submergence required may be reduced

by installing a standard pipe increaser fitting at the

end of thesuction line. The larger opening size will

reduce the inlet velocity. Calculate the required

submergence using the following formula based

on the increased opening size (area or diameter).
