SAFETY
RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
The Products of CECO Fybroc Pump Division are subject
to thorough and rigorous quality control and inspection
procedures throughout the whole of the manufacturing
process to assure proper operation in full conformity
with established performance standards. On completion
of inspection, each unit is coated with rust preventative,
sealed against the entrance of dirt, and tagged with a
signed certicate of inspection prior to shipment. Each
pump when shipped is ready to perform the service for
which it was designed with minimum maintenance and
expense if properly installed and operated in accordance
with the instructions furnished.
RECEIVING PUMP
WHEN THE PUMP IS RECEIVED FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION COMPANY IT SHOULD BE
PROMPTLY INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE AND SUCH
DAMAGE NOTED ON THE BILL OF LADING BEFORE IT
IS SIGNED. CLAIMS FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE MUST BE
FILED AGAINST THE CARRIER.
CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN UNLOADING AND
HANDLING THE PUMP.
STORAGE
PUMPS MUST BE PROPERLY COVERED AND
PROTECTED AGAINST MOISTURE, DIRT, AND
PHYSICAL DAMAGE DURING STORAGE PRIOR
TO INSTALLATION. IF PROLONGED STORAGE
IS ANTICIPATED, A HEAVY PROTECTIVE
COATING SHOULD BE APPLIED TO BEARINGS
AND ALL EXPOSED MACHINED SURFACES.
A RUST PREVENTATIVE MUST BE USED TO
PROTECT ALL STEEL OR CAST IRON PARTS.
COMPRESSION PACKING OR MECHANICAL
SEALS SHOULD BE REMOVED AND STORED
AS WELL AS PROTECTED SEPARATELY.
PUMPS MUST ALSO BE PROTECTED FROM
MOISTURE, DIRT, AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE
DURING AND AFTER INSTALLATION WHILE
THE SYSTEM IS BEING COMPLETED. PUMPS
“STORED” ON THEIR FOUNDATIONS MUST
BE COMPLETELY CHECKED FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION PRIOR TO START-UP.
CARE IN STORAGE AND INSTALLATION WILL
PRESERVE THE BUILT IN QUALITY OF EACH
CECO FYBROC PRODUCT.
CAUTION

INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL PUMPS
LOCATION
The pump should ideally be placed as close as possible
to the liquid supply source. Allow sufcient space on the
sides and overhead to permit inspection and maintenance
work to be performed.
FOUNDATION
The foundation for the pump should be level, provide
rigid support of pump and motor. It should also be of
sufcient mass to dampen any vibrations developed.
Typically this is accomplished by installing and grouting a
Fybroc baseplate on a concrete foundation.
Foundation bolts of the proper size should be embedded
in the concrete with anti-rotation lugs, located by a
drawing or template (See Table 1 below for bolt-size
and locations). A pipe sleeve larger than the bolt should
be used to allow enough lateral movement for nal
positioning of the bolts (See Figure 1 below). Leveling
wedges or shims should be placed under the sides of
the baseplate to level the unit and the foundation bolts
slightly tightened.
A wood form can now be built around the edge of the
baseplate to contain the grout. The top of the rough
concrete foundation should be wetted down prior to
grouting. A good grade of non-shrinking grout can now
be poured through the ll hole on the top of the berglass
baseplate. On baseplates with raised motor mounting
sections, a short length of pipe or tubing can be tted
into the grout hole to allow the grout to completely ll the
raised section to the baseplate up to the vent hole in the
raised section, as shown in gure below. Once the grout
starts to set, the extension can be removed, leaving the
grout level with the top of the baseplate. Once the grout
has fully hardened, usually about 48 hours after pouring,
the foundation bolts can be fully tightened.

INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL PUMPS
PIPING THE PUMP
All anged connections to the pump should be full
at face with full contact gaskets. Raised face anges
or partial contact gaskets should not be used as
excessive strains can be applied to the pump anges
upon tightening. The pump has been designed with all
necessary strength factors for long, reliable service life.
However, due to the composite construction, care must
be taken during installation to avoid unnecessary pipe
strain. If severe piping strains are to be encountered,
exible connections are recommended in the suction
and discharge pipe lines. When lined piping is used,
ange alignment should be carefully checked. Spacer ring
gaskets are recommended to assure parallel alignment of
pipe and pump anges. The following ange bolt torque
values should be used:
All piping must be supported independently of the
pump. The piping should always line up naturally with
the pump anges. Never draw the piping to the suction
or discharge anges of the pump. Outside installations
should be properly compensated for changes in ambient
temperatures. Refer to pipe manufacturers standards for
proper installation. Omission of this could result in severe
strain transmitted to the pump anges.
The piping should be as short and direct as possible.
Avoid all unnecessary elbows, bends and ttings, as they
increase friction losses in the piping.
SUCTION PIPING
A) To minimize friction loss, the length of the suction
pipe (from process to pump inlet) should be as short
as possible. It is important that NPSH available to the
pump is greater than the NPSH required by the pump,
long suction runs greatly affect NPSH and should be
considered carefully. See pump performance curve for
NPSH requirements.
B) The diameter of the suction pipe should be as
large as the pump suction. If long suction runs are
encountered, the suction pipe diameter should be
increased to reduce the NPSH required.
C) Increasers or reducers, if used, should be eccentric
and installed with the eccentric side on the bottom of
the pipe to prevent air traps.
D) Elbows, ttings, valves or expansion joints should be
avoided at the suction ange. Allow a straight run
of at least 10 pipe diameters into the suction of the
pump.
E) If a valve is to be installed in the suction piping, only
full ow valves offering a minimum ow disturbance
should be used (ball, plug types). These valves should
be for shut-off only when the pump is not running,
and not for throttling or controlling ow. Centrifugal
pumps should never be throttled on the suction side.
F) Provisions for a suction pressure gauge should be
included.
DISCHARGE PIPING
A) Installation of a valve in the discharge line that can
be used as a block for inspection and maintenance is
recommended. It should be of a design to allow throttling
or ow control.
B) The diameter of the discharge pipe should be as large
or larger than the pump discharge.
C) Provision for a discharge pressure gauge should be
included.
ANCILLARY PIPING
A) The diameter of the ancillary or seal piping should be
large enough to meet the seal ushing requirements.
Typically this is 1/4-1/2 GPM at a pressure of 15-25 PSI
above the suction pressure for most mechanical seals.
Refer to pages 25 and 26 for recommended seal ush
ow rates and piping installations.
B) Where the ancillary piping is connected to the pump
only plastic ttings shall be used.
WARNING: FAILURE TO USE PLASTIC
FITTINGS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
PUMP.
C) Many modern ush systems incorporate electrically
actuated solenoid valves to conserve and control the
ow of ush liquids, ensure that the ush liquid is
owing to the seal before the pump is started.
D) On double seal arrangements with ush in and
ush out connections, ow control valves should be
installed in the ush out or downstream side. The
pump shaft should turn freely by hand after the piping
has been connected to the pump. This is to insure
that the piping has not caused binding in the pump. If
binding occurs, check for cause and correct.

INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL PUMPS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A) All electrical work done to the unit should be done
by a qualied electrician. All local, state and federal
electrical codes should be adhered to.
B) Wire motor according to motor manufacturers
instructions. Ensure that all connections and covers are
tight and that proper sized wire and switch-gear are
used.
C) All pumps operate in a clockwise direction when
viewed from the motor end, (see direction arrow on
the pump motor adapter). Connect electric motor
to power supply and jog motor to check rotation. If
motor is operating in wrong direction, reverse leads
and recheck.
WARNING: DO NOT START PUMP WITH
LIQUID IN THE CASING UNTIL MOTOR
ROTATION HAS BEEN DETERMINED AS
DAMAGE COULD RESULT FROM SUSTAINED
REVERSE ROTATION UNDER PUMPING LOAD.
