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.

11
START-UP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
LUBRICATION
On a close coupled pump only the motor requires
lubrication. Since all motors come from the factory pre-
lubricated there is no action required.
SEAL FLUSHING
Mechanical Seals
Do not operate the pumps without liquid to the
mechanical seal. Depending on the ush arrangement
of the pump, the uid to the seal may be piped from
the pump discharge externally or internally, or from
an external clean source. If the pump is tted with an
internal or bypass ush arrangement, then the pump
must be ooded with liquid prior to starting to ensure
that the mechanical seal is lubricated. If the pump is
equipped for an external ush system, then ush liquid
must be supplied to the seal prior to starting. Proper ow
for external ushing will vary from 1/4 to 1/2 GPM at a
pressure of 15 to 25 PSI above the stufng box pressure.
PRIMING
Suction valve must be fully open. The pump casing and
suction pipe must always be full of liquid before the pump
is started. Centerline discharge designs are self-venting
therefore the discharge valve should be opened to release
any air trapped in the pump and then left slightly open at
start-up.
STARTING
Prior to starting, turn pump shaft by hand to be sure
rotating elements are free. If it rubs or binds:
A) Check for piping strains on casing anges, or other
loads on casing.
B) Check impeller clearance. (See impeller adjustment).
Prior to starting pump recheck installation procedures
with the operational start-up checklist found on page 14
of this manual.
Start pump and bring up to speed, open discharge valve
to the rated ow.
WARNING: DO NOT RUN PUMP WITH A
CLOSED DISCHARGE VALVE AS THE LIQUID
IN THE PUMP WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE IN
TEMPERATURE, POSSIBLY CAUSING DAMAGE
TO PUMP.
Check ush water to mechanical seal, if not lubricated
from the pump discharge.
OPERATIONAL CHECK LIST
A) Periodically check mechanical seals for proper
operation.
B) Periodically check lubrication to the motor bearings.
C) Periodically check for excessive vibrations. Correct if
necessary.
MAINTENANCE
Fybroc pumps are designed for a long service life. The
only scheduled maintenance items are the lubrication
intervals for the motor. Please refer to the lubrication
procedures given below.
MOTOR
The motor relubrication intervals are greatly inuenced
by the environment it is in and the length of time it runs.
Refer to the following chart for typical relubrication values
for motors. Standard duty is when the motor is operated
eight hours a day and the environment is free from dust.
Severe duty is when the motor runs twenty-four hours per
day with exposure to dirt and dust.
Instructions For Lubricating Motors
Before greasing, be sure ttings are clean and free from
dirt. Remove grease relief plug or plate and using a low
pressure grease gun pump in the required grease. Do not
over-grease. After relubricating allow motor to run for an
hour before replacing relief hardware.

GENERAL
The Fybroc pump is designed for easy inspection and
service because of its back pullout construction. For
inspection or replacement of certain parts, the work
can be done in place, without the necessity to remove
the complete pump to a maintenance area. Refer to
applicable Sectional Drawing in this manual for item
numbers mentioned below.
Before any work is done the following procedures and
precautions should be taken:
1) The electric motor should be either disconnected from
its power source, or the switch or circuit breaker must
be secured in an “off ” position so that the motor
cannot be accidentally started.
2) Depending upon the uid being pumped, the proper
protective equipment should be worn (gloves, mask,
respirator, goggles or safety glasses, etc.) to prevent
contact with the uid in the pump or pipelines.
3) Check the valves on the suction and discharge lines to
be sure they are closed and secured.
4) If the mechanical seal is ushed from an external
source, turn off the valve in the supply line and
disconnect the ush line.
5) The liquid trapped in the pump and piping should be
drained. Care should be taken to either trap the uid
in a container or to divert it to a proper disposal area
so that the area around the pump and base will not be
contaminated.
DISASSEMBLY
1) If the complete pump is to be removed to a
maintenance area, remove the bolts holding the motor
and casing to the baseplate. Remove the bolts on the
suction and discharge ange connections. Now the
whole pump can be removed. If the casing is to be
left in place remove the screws holding the motor to
the baseplate and then remove the casing bolts, nuts,
washers and shims securing the casing to the cover
and motor adapter (Items 1C, 1D, 1E, 67). Now the
rotating assembly can be pulled away from the casing
and removed. Note the number of shims removed.
Two jackscrews (Item 19D) are provided to ease
disassembly.
2) If the casing was removed with the pump, remove the
casing bolts, nuts, washers and shims securing the
casing to the cover and frame adapter (Items 1C, 1D,
1E, 67). The rotating assembly can be pulled away
from casing. Note the number of shims that were
removed. Two jackscrews (Item 19D) are provided to
ease disassembly. Now the pump can be placed in a
convenient location to disassemble it.
3) Remove the cover o-ring (Item 73) and place in a
container with the casing hardware.
4) To disassemble the impeller assembly, remove the
locking ring (Item 14 B) by removing the two Allen
head screws, thus exposing the segment key (Item
14A), which can now be removed from the impeller
sleeve.
5) If the pump is provided with a mechanical seal utilizing
set screws to drive the seal, loosen the set screws.
If the mechanical seal is of the preset outside type,
reinstall the seal setting clips, prior to loosening the
set screws.
6) Remove rear fan cover from motor; use vise grips or
pipe wrench to hold rear motor shaft extension from
turning. Remove fan if required. Do not attempt to
hold fan. The impeller assembly can now be removed
by turning the impeller in a counter-clockwise direction
facing the impeller. A strap wrench or similar device
may be required to disengage the screw threads.
The impeller, stufng box cover, and seal can now be
removed as a unit.
7) If the mechanical seal is a single outside seal be sure
the set screws are loose and pull the rotary seal
assembly off the sleeve, using a twisting motion as
it is removed. The impeller (Item 2) can be removed
from the cover. Remove the four bolts and washers
(Item 17C, 17E) securing the gland (Item 17) to the
cover (Item 11) and remove the gland and then the
seal stationary from the cover. The carbon and ceramic
elements of the seal should be handled carefully to
prevent chipping or scratching. If the mechanical seal
is a double inside seal, remove the four bolts and
washers (Item 17C, 17E) securing the gland (Item
17) to the cover (Item 11) and remove the gland. Be
sure the set screws are loose, and pull the rotary seal
assembly off, using a twisting motion as it is removed.
The impeller (Item 2) can be removed from the cover.
Next remove the stationary seal faces from the gland
and cover by gently pressing them out using your
thumbs. The carbon and ceramic elements of the seal
should be handled carefully to prevent chipping or
scratching.
8) The motor shaft adapter (Item 6) may be removed
from the motor shaft by removing the Allen head
screw (Item 6A). The drive key (Item 46) will slide off
with the shaft adapter. In the bore of the shaft adapter
there may be some shims to take up the motor
manufacturer’s shaft length tolerances. Be sure to note
the number and thickness of the shims used.
9) Remove pump adapter (Item 71) and motor adapter
(Item 71B) if provided.

ASSEMBLY
1) Inspect casing, cover and impeller for any damage
and make sure all sealing surfaces are free of dirt
and scratches. If pump is equipped with an internal
seal ush, make sure cover ush hole is clear. Check
motor end oat. Excessive shaft end oat (greater
than .015”) can result in damage to pump and or
mechanical seal.
2) If equipped install the motor adapter (Item 71B).
Ensure that the adapter is seated squarely on the
motor before tightening adapter screws, this may
require some sanding of the paint on the pilot
diameters. Secure with adapter screws (Item 71C),
torque to 25 ft-lbs.
3) Install the pump adapter (Item 71). Ensure that the
adapter is seated squarely on the motor adapter
or motor before tightening adapter screws, this
may require some sanding of the paint on the pilot
diameters. Secure with adapter screws (Item 71A),
torque to 25 ft-lbs. end of shaft.
4) Place one .062” shim washer (Item 6B) in the shaft
(Item 6) bore. Install key (Item 46) into the shaft
key-way slot from the inside of the shaft bore. Slide
assembly onto motor shaft and temporarily secure
with shaft screw (Item 6A).
5) Place six impeller adjusting shims (Item 67, three on
each side) and the cover (Item 11) on to the pump
adapter. Ensure that the cover is seated squarely on
the pump adapter, this may require some sanding
of the paint on the pilot diameter. Clamp the cover
tightly to the adapter with clamps or bolts.
6) Thread the impeller (Item 2) onto the shaft adapter
until it bottoms on the shoulder of the shaft adapter.
Place a feeler gauge between the cover and the
balance vanes on the impeller.
7) The gauge should read approximately .035”, if it
does not, repeat steps 4-6 using a different washer
or combination of washers until the proper clearance
is obtained. Four washers are supplied by Fybroc:
[email protected]”, [email protected]” and [email protected]” this will provide for
0-.110” worth of shimming capabilities which will
adapt to any motor used.
8) Once the proper number of shims is determined,
remove the impeller, cover and plastic shims and
tighten the shaft adapter screw to 35 ft-lbs. for 3/8”
screws and 50 ft-lbs. for 1/2” screws.
9) Place some anti-seize lubricant on the shaft adapter
impeller threads.
10) The Fybroc pump, as standard, is equipped with
a single outside seal with stationary seal face and
rotating compression unit, or a double inside seal
with stationary seal faces and rotating double
seal compression unit. The following installation
instructions are based on these seal types. When
other types of seals are used, please refer to the
manufacturer’s installation data. Determine the type of
seal being used and refer to the following sections.

IMPELLER ADJUSTMENT
The close coupled 1530 series design allows adjustment
of the impeller clearance between the pump casing wall
and the impeller face. The pump impeller is adjusted at
the factory during assembly and should not require further
adjustment upon installation.
Impeller adjustment will be required when a drop in head
and/or capacity indicates a change in clearances, or when
existing components of the pump are replaced. Refer to
the following table for recommended clearance when
adjusting impeller on horizontal pumps.
1) When existing components of the pump are replaced
with the exception of the casing, refer to the assembly
section of this manual for proper impeller adjustment.
2) For impeller adjustment to compensate for wear
follow the procedure below.
A) Lock out the switch or circuit breaker in the “OFF”
position so that the motor cannot be accidentally
started.
B) Loosen set screws or other holding devices if so
provided on mechanical seals before adjusting
impeller to prevent seal face damage.
C) Loosen bolts holding motor to base and loosen
casing bolts (Item 1D). Remove fan guard.
D) Remove one shim (Item 67) from each side of pump
by pulling outward on the extended tabs; this will
decrease the impeller front clearance by .010”.
Slowly retighten casing bolts while turning and
pushing forward on the motor shaft to be sure no
binding occurs. If binding occurs from the impeller
rubbing the casing, the shims that were removed
will have to be replaced.
E) Continue this procedure until the impeller starts
to contact the casing. At this point replace the
appropriate number of shims to obtain the
approximate impeller clearance shown in the table
above.
F) Reset and tighten the mechanical seal per the seal
manufacturers instructions and retighten the motor
mounting bolts. Replace fan guard.
WARNING: SOME MOTORS HAVE END FLOAT
IN THE SHAFT. THIS MUST BE COMPENSATED
