This manual contains specific information regarding the safe
installation, operation and maintenance of Armstrong Design
Envelope pumps. Read this manual carefully before installing or
using the product. If clarification is needed on any point please
contact Armstrong quoting the equipment serial number.
1.1 precautions
1.1.1 instructions for safe use
No installation of this equipment should take place un-
less this document has been studied and understood.
Handling, transportation and installation of this equipment
should only undertaken by trained personnel with proper use of
lifting equipment. See later diagrams for lifting advice. Refer to
the pump nameplate for pump speed, pressure and temperature
limitations. The limits stated must not be exceeded without
written permission from Armstrong.
1.1.2 ambient temperature
Install the Design Envelope unit with adequate ac-
cess for routine maintenance. A minimum of 2" (50
mm) clearance is required at the fan inlet to facilitate
airflow. Where several Design Envelope units are installed in
close proximity, care must be taken to ensure that there is no
re-circulation of exhausted warm air.
To help prevent the DEPM unit from over-heating, the
ambient temperature is not to exceed the average daily
temperature. Operating in higher ambient tempera-
tures will require derating of the depm unit (See section 2.1.4 for
details).
Under normal operating conditions the pump surface tempera-
ture may reach 155°f/68°c(Restricted Zone) to 176°f/80°c
(Unrestricted Zone). Steps should be taken to minimize contact
or warn operators/users that normal operating conditions will
be exceeded. In certain cases, where the temperature of the
pumped liquid exceeds the above stated temperature levels,
pump casing temperatures may exceed 212°f/100°c and, not
withstanding pump insulation techniques, appropriate mea-
sures must be taken to minimize risk for operating personnel.
1.1.3 enclosure rating
The standard enclosure rating for Design Envelope 4300 and
Design Envelope 4380 integrated controls is UL Type 12 / ip55. If
the pump is to be installed in a wet or dusty environment, then
the UL Type 4x (ip66) enclosure is available. UL Type 4x units
are supplied with a touchscreen cover to protect the interface
from uv degradation, and a weather shield to protect the motor
fan from freezing rain or snow.
1.1.4 storage
Pumps not immediately placed into service, or removed from
service and stored, must be properly prepared to prevent exces-
sive rusting. Pump port protection plates must not be removed
until the pump is ready to connect to the piping.
Rotate the shaft periodically (at least monthly) to keep rotating
element free and bearings fully functional.
For long term storage (longer than three months), the pump
must be placed in a vertical position in a dry environment.
Internal rusting can be prevented by removing the plugs at the
top and bottom of the casing and drain or air blow out all water
to prevent rust buildup or the possibility of freezing. Be sure to
reinstall the plugs when the unit is made operational. Rustproof-
ing or packing the casing with moisture absorbing material and
covering the flanges is acceptable. When returning to service be
sure to remove the drying agent from the pump.
1.1.5 warranty
Armstrong’s warranty period for Design Envelope pumps is [18]
months from date of shipment, or [12] months from date of
installation, whichever comes first. Please refer to File 9.10us /
9.10c for full terms and conditions. To receive an additional six
[6] months of standard coverage, the owner may register the
pump unit at:

1.1.6 uncrating
Armstrong Design Envelope 4322 & 4372 Vertical In-Line
pumps are thoroughly inspected before shipment to assure
they meet with your order requirements. After removing the
pump from the packaging, make sure the equipment is in good
