Notice to installing contractor: Instructions must remain with installation.
GENERaL INFORMaTION
These models are complete systems used in sewage or dewatering installations with
side outlet flanged pumps. They can be used in basins of 1 Oft depth (for deeper
depths, consult factory). The guide rail systems are particularly useful when the liquid
level is above the pump discharge pump. The systems feature easy automatic engage-
ment and disengagement for removing the pump for service or repair without draining
the basin.
GENERaL CONsTRUCTION
A flanged discharge elbow base is supplied with the rail system. The elbow base has
casted mounting pins which supports the lower rail guides. The elbow base, mounting
plate, as well as the upper guide rail bracket are made of durable dass 30 cast iron
that is epoxy coated. All models require the use of 1'' schedule 40 (galvanized steel or
stainless steel) pipe for guide rails. Pipe is furnished by the installer.
LIFTING CaBLE
The pump is equipped with lifting lugs that are an integral part of the motor housing or
cover for lifting. A permanently attached chain or cable (purchased separately), should
be used to aid in pump installation and removal. It is not necessary to use a separate
pull chain on the mounting plate which is bolted to the pump discharge flange.
UppER GUIDE RaIL sUppORT BRaCKET
As mentioned above, all the rail systems utilize 1'' standard pipe for the guide rails.
The upper guide support rail bracket is to be mounted to the basin cover frame, as per
the discretion of the installer.
INsTaLLING RaIL sYsTEM paRTs (Concrete Basin)
Discharge Elbow Base and Guide Rails:
1 . Lower the elbow base into the basin.
2. Position the elbow base by dropping a plumb line from the center of the guide
rail pins located on the upper guide rail bracket to the center of guide rail pins
protruding from the elbow base. Level the elbow base flange in two directions
90° to each other. Mark the outline of the base and bolt holes/slots on the
concrete basin floor.
3. Move the base aside to allow for installation of 1'' mounting bolts (not included &
method of installation to be determined be installer). Secure base with mounting
bolts.
4. Cut the 1'' pipe guide rails (supplied by others) to the proper length and install
them between the pins of the upper guide rail bracket and the pins on the elbow
base. It is recommended that the guide rails are to be 1'' schedule 40, galva-
nized or stainless steel pipe.
