Carefully read and follow all safety instructions
in this manual or on pump.
This is the safety-alert. When you see this symbol on
your pump or in this manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert to the potential for
personal injury.
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can cause
minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
To avoid serious or fatal personal injury and possible
property damage, carefully read and follow the safety
instructions.
1. Install pump according to all code requirements.
2. Compare pump nameplate data with desired operating
range.
3. Pump only liquids compatible with pump component
materials (that is, liquids that will not attack the pump).
4. Make sure plumbing is adequate to handle system
pressure.
5. Periodically perform maintenance inspection on pump
and system components.
6. Wear safety glasses at all times when working on
pumps.
INSPECT THE SHIPMENT
The vertical multistage centrifugal inline pump has been
carefully inspected and packaged to assure safe delivery.
Inspect the pump and fittings and report to the carrier any
items which are damaged or missing.
CONFIRM THAT YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT PUMP
APPLICATIONS AND
OPERATING RANGES
Berkeley multistage in-line centrifugal pumps are designed
for liquid transfer, circulation, and pressure boosting of hot
or cold clean water or other thin, non-explosive liquids, not
containing solid particles or fibers, which will not
chemically attack the pump materials.
Typical applications include:
•Municipal water supply and pressure boosting
•Boiler feed and condensate systems
•Cooling water systems
•Irrigation
•Fire fighting
Maximum Ambient Temperature....................104° F(40° C)
Liquid Temperature Range .............................5° F to 250° F
(-15° C to +121° C)
Maximum Permissible
Operating Pressure Curves................................See Figure 4
Maximum Inlet Pressure: ....... Table II shows the maximum
permissible inlet pressure. However,
the actual inlet pressure plus the pressure
when the pump is running against a closed
valve must always be lower than the
“Maximum Permissible Operating Pressure”.

INSTALLATION
Hazardous voltage. Voltage can shock, burn,
or cause death. Ground pump motor correctly before
connecting to power supply, per article 250-80 of the
National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S., or the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable.
Location
Locate pump in a dry, well ventilated area, not subject to
freezing or extreme variations in temperature.
Mount pump a minimum of 6” from any obstruction or hot
surface. Install the pump with the motor shaft vertical.
Make sure that an adequate supply of cool air reaches the
motor cooling fan. Maximum ambient air temperature is
104° F (40° C).
For open systems requiring suction lift, locate the pump as
close to the water source as possible.
Foundation
Foundation should be concrete or a similarly rigid
foundation to provide a secure, stable mounting base for
the pump.
Secure pump to foundation using all bolt holes. Refer to
Figures 2 and 3 for bolt plate dimensions. Be sure that all
four pads on the base are properly supported.
Shim pump base to make sure that pump is level.
Piping
Explosion and burn hazard. Do not run
pump with discharge valve closed; the water in the pump
may boil, with risk of explosion and steam burns to
anyone near. If there is any danger of the pump running
against a closed discharge valve, install a pressure relief or
by-pass valve in the discharge pipe to allow for minimum
liquid flow through the pump. Minimum liquid flow
through the pump is needed for cooling and lubrication of
the pump (See Table IV). Run the bypass/relief valve and
discharge pipe to a floor drain or a tank for collection.
Suction pipe should be adequately sized (See Table V) and
run as straight and as short as possible to keep friction
losses to a minimum. Pipes, valves, and fittings must have a
pressure rating equal to or greater than the maximum
system pressure.
Pressure check the discharge piping as required by codes
or local regulations.
“Inlet” and “Outlet” are marked on the pump base to show
the direction of the liquid flow through the pump.
Install anti-vibration mountings on either side of the pump
if a minimum noise level is desired.

Install isolation valves in both inlet and outlet pipes near
the pump (see Figure 5). This allows for removal of pump
for service without draining the system and isolation of the
pump in case of a flooded suction condition.
If the system pressure is greater than the pumps maximum
inlet pressure the limits of the pump can be exceeded if the
discharge pressure backs up to the inlet side of the pump.
Installation of a check valve in the discharge pipe is
recommended to prevent this condition.
Make sure, especially on the inlet side of the pump, that
there are no airlocks in the system. See Figure 6 for correct
pipe work to avoid airlocks. The suction pipe should be
level or slightly rising.
Support all piping independently of the pump so the weight
of the piping system does not strain the pump case. Make
sure that the expansion and contraction of the piping
system from temperature variations cannot put a strain on
the pump.
If the system or pump must be drained periodically
(especially if the discharge pipe is horizontal or slopes
downward away from the pump), install a loop and
vacuum valve as shown in Figure 7 to protect the pump
against running dry. The highest point of the loop should
be at least as high as the lowest point of the motor. This
loop/valve combination will allow the pump and the
system to be drained independently of one another.
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. All electrical work should be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all local codes and regulations. Make
sure that the motor voltage, phase, and frequency match
the incoming electrical supply. The proper operating
voltage and other electrical information can be found on
the motor nameplate. These motors are designed to run up
to ±10% of the nameplate-rated voltage. The wiring
connection diagram can be found on either a plate
attached to the motor or on a diagram inside the terminal
box cover.
•If voltage variations are greater than ±10% do not
operate the pump.
•Incorrect voltage can cause fire or serious damage to the
motor and voids warranty.
•Ground the pump motor correctly before connecting it
to the power supply.
•Follow the wiring instructions when connecting the
motor to the power lines.
Position of Terminal Box
To turn the motor so that the terminal box faces the right
direction, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the power to the pump motor.

2. Remove the coupling guards (use a screwdriver).
3. Remove the couplings.
4. Remove the bolts that fasten the motor to the pump.
5. Turn the motor to the required position (in quarter-turn
increments).
6. Follow steps 10 - 20 under “Motor Replacement”, on
Page 9.
Field Wiring
All wiring connections and wiring sizes must meet National
Electrical Code and local requirements.
Motor Protection
See the motor nameplate for electrical connection/wiring
diagram.
Berkeley pumps must be used with the proper size and type
of motor starter to ensure protection against damage from
low voltage, phase failure, current imbalances, and
overloads. The overload should be sized to trip at the full-
load current rating of the motor.
OPERATION
Priming
Hazardous pressure. Do not run the pump
with the discharge valve closed; the water in the pump may
boil, causing risk of explosion and steam burns to anyone
nearby.
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect all power to
the pump before servicing or working on the pump. Make
sure that the power is locked out and that the pump cannot
be accidentally started.
NOTICE: Under no circumstances should the pump be
operated without flow through the pump. Never operate
the pump dry.
Operation of closed systems or open systems with the
liquid level above the pump priming plug:
1. Close the discharge isolating valve and loosen the
needle valve located in the assembly in the pump head
(Figure 8). Do not remove the needle valve.
NOTICE: On BVMI(X)2/4 models, remove the coupling
guard for access to the vent plug.
Risk of water damage and injury. Watch the
direction of the priming plug and make sure that the liquid
escaping from it does not injure persons nearby or damage
the motor or other components. In hot water installations,
pay particular attention to the risk of injury from scalding
hot water.
2. Slowly open the isolation valve in the suction pipe until
a steady stream of liquid runs out the vent in the priming
port.
3. Tighten needle valve to 25 inch-pounds. Completely open
isolation valves.
NOTICE: Please turn to “Starting”, Page 8, before
proceeding any further.
Operation of open systems with the liquid level below the
top of the pump:
NOTICE: The suction pipe requires a check valve or
isolation valve.
1. Close the discharge isolation valve.
2. Remove the vented priming plug.
3. Pour liquid through the priming port until the suction
pipe and the pump are completely filled with liquid.
4. Replace the vented priming plug and tighten it securely.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the pump is primed.
NOTICE: Please turn to “Starting”, Page 8, before
proceeding any further.
Checking Direction of Rotation
NOTICE: Do not disconnect the motor from the shaft to
check the direction of rotation. If you remove the coupling,
then you must adjust the shaft position when you reinstall
it. This must be done before starting the pump.
Arrows on the pump head show the correct direction of
rotation. When seen from the motor fan, the pump should
rotate counterclockwise (). For pump motors without a
fan remove one of the coupling guards and look at the
coupling to determine the direction of rotation. Turn off the
pump and replace coupling guard.
NOTICE: Do not check the direction of rotation until the
pump has been filled with liquid. See “Priming”, at left and
above.
1. Switch power off.
2. Remove the coupling guard and rotate the pump shaft to
be certain it can turn freely. Replace the coupling guard.
3. Verify that the electrical connections are in accordance
with the wiring diagram on the motor.
4. If the fan is visible, turn on and off to verify rotation.
5. To reverse the direction of rotation, first switch OFF the
power supply.

6. On three-phase motors, switch 2 of the 3 power leads
on the load side of the starter. On single-phase motors,
see the connection diagram on the motor nameplate.
Change the wiring as indicated.
Hazardous voltage. Voltage can shock, burn
or cause death. Ground the pump motor correctly before
connecting to power supply per article 250-80 of National
Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S., or the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable.
7. Switch on the power supply and recheck the direction of
motor rotation.
Starting
1. If a suction line isolation valve has been installed, check
to be sure that it is completely opened.
2. For initial starting, the isolation valve in the discharge
pipe should be almost closed.
3. Start the pump.
4. When the piping system has been filled with liquid,
slowly open the discharge isolation valve until it is
completely open. Opening the valve too fast may result
in water hammer in the discharge pipe. If the pump or
system start to rattle, the pump is cavitating; to avoid
damage to the pump, reduce the flow through the
discharge isolation valve until the rattling stops. If this
does not give adequate flow for your installation, call
your installer or system designer.
5. Record the voltage and amperage of the motor. Adjust
the motor overloads if required.
6. If pressure gauges have been installed, check and record
operating pressures.
7. Check all controls for proper operation.
Motor Bearings
For the greasing schedule and greasing procedure of the
motor bearings follow the motor manufacturers
recommendations.
Calculating Minimum Inlet Pressure:
Minimum inlet pressure is required to avoid cavitation in
the pump and is calculated as follows:
H = Pb - NPSHR - Hf- Hv- Hs
H = Minimum Inlet Pressure in Feet of Head
Pb = Barometric Pressure in Feet
1 Bar = 29.53 inches of Mercury (Hg)
1 PSI = 2.31 Ft of Head
1 Bar = 33.5 Ft. of Head
NPSHR = Net Positive suction head required. To be read
from the NPSHR curve, Figure 9, at the highest flow the
pump will be delivering.
Hf= Friction Loss in suction pipe in ft of head
Hv= Vapor pressure in feet of head (See Table VI).
Hs= A safety margin of 1.64 ft of head
Example for BVM8:
If: Flow = 60 GPM
Pb = 1 Bar = 29.53 Inches of Mercury*
(Convert from Bar to Feet of Head)
1 Inch of mercury = 1.13’ feet of water
T = 100° F
NPSHR = 10’ (See Figure 9)
Hf= 10’ of 2” Steel Pipe @ 11.9’ of loss per 100’
of Pipe (Hf= 11.9’/10’ = 1.19’)
Hv= 2.195’ (from Table VI)
Hs= 1.64’ (safety factor from above)
Then: H = 33.5’* - NPSHR** - Hf- Hv- Hs
H = 33.5’ - 10’ - 1.19’ - 2.195’ - 1.64 = 18.475’
H = 18.475’ = Minimum Inlet Pressure
* 1 Bar = 14.5 PSI x 2.31 Ft of Head = 33.5’
