assembly, installation, operation, or maintenance which
could result in damage to the machine or equipment if
ignored.
CAUTION! Warns about hazards that can or will cause minor
personal injury or property damage if ignored. Used with symbols
below.
WARNING! Warns about hazards that can or will cause serious
personal injury, death, or major property damage if ignored. Used
with symbols below.
Only qualied personnel should install, operate and repair
pump. Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualied
electrician.
WARNING ! To reduce risk of electrical shock, pumps and
control panels must be properly grounded in accordance
with the National Electric Code (NEC) or the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) and all applicable state, province,
local codes and ordinances. Improper grounding voids
warranty.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electrical shock, always
disconnect the pump from the power source before
handling or servicing. Lock out power and tag.
WARNING! Operation against a closed
discharge valve will cause premature bearing
and seal failure on any pump, and on end
suction and self priming pump the heat build
may cause the generation of steam with resulting dangerous
pressures. It is recommended that a high case temperature
switch or pressure relief valve be installed on the pump body.
CAUTION ! Never operate a pump with a plug-in type
power cord without a ground fault circuit interrupter.
CAUTION ! Pumps build up heat and pressure
during operation-allow time for pumps to cool
before handling or servicing.
WARNING ! Do not pump hazardous materials
(ammable, caustic, etc.) unless the pump is specically
designed and designated to handle them.
CAUTION ! Do not block or restrict discharge hose, as
discharge hose may whip under pressure.
WARNING ! Do not wear loose clothing that may
become entangled in moving parts.
WARNING ! Keep clear of suction and discharge
openings. DO NOT insert ngers in pump with power
connected.
Always wear eye protection when working on pumps.
Make sure lifting handles are securely fastened each
time before lifting. DO NOT operate pump without safety
devices in place. Always replace safety devices that
have been removed during service or repair. Secure the
pump in its operating position so it can not tip over, fall
or slide.
DO NOT exceed manufacturers recommendation for
maximum performance, as this could cause the motor
to overheat.
DO NOT remove cord and strain relief. DO NOT connect
conduit to pump.
WARNING ! Cable should be protected at all times to
avoid punctures, cut, bruises and abrasions. Inspect
frequently. Never handle connected power cords with
wet hands.
WARNING ! To reduce risk of electrical shock, all wiring
and junction connections should be made per the NEC
or CEC and applicable state or province and local
codes. Requirements may vary depending on usage
and location.
WARNING! Submersible Pumps are not approved for
use in swimming pools, recreational water installations
decorative fountains or any installation where human
contact with the pumped uid is common.
WARNING! Products returned must be cleaned,
sanitized, or decontaminated as necessary prior
to shipment, to insure that employees will not be
exposed to health hazards in handling said material. All
Applicable Laws And Regulations Shall Apply.
Bronze/brass and bronze/brass tted pumps may
contain lead levels higher than considered safe for
potable water systems. Lead is known to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Various
government agencies have determined that leaded
copper alloys should not be used in potable water
applications. For non-leaded copper alloy materials of
construction, please contact factory.
Crane Pumps & Systems, Inc. is not responsible
for losses, injury, or death resulting from a failure to
observe these safety precautions, misuse or abuse of

Each BAF break away tting consists of a cast iron base
elbow which is bolted to the oor of the wet well, lower
guide rail supports, cast iron movable elbow (BAF-CV’s
include ap check valve and clean-out cap), which is free
to ride up and down the guide rails. A sealing plate with
o-ring seat is used to connect moveable elbow to the base
elbow.
The guide rail and lifting chain (supplied separately)
are attached to the base elbow at one end and to a
stainless steel Upper Rail support, which is attached to
the underside of the wet well cover at the other end or the
wall. The guide rails serve only to guide, they carry none
of the pump weight. 1” (25mm) schedule 40 Galvanized
or Stainless Steel should be used for guide rails.
An optional intermediate guide pipe bracket should be
used for depths of 13 feet (4M) or more.
The BAF’s can basically be used on any pump with the
appropiate discharge size that does not exceed 200
lbs (91kg) in weight, or operate above 150 ft. TDH (45
Meters).
Quantity of One BAF (1) each for Simplex and Two (2) for
Duplex.
Assemblies DO NOT include Pump, Discharge piping,
Guide Rails, Lifting Chain, nor Gate Valve with Handle.
Available: Stainless Steel Lifting Chain, Intermediate Pipe
Support Bracket.

SECTION: B - GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) Introduction:
Crane Pumps & Systems Break Away Fittings (BAF) are
precision engineered and manufactured of the highest
quality castings. Each one is individually inspected by a
Quality Assurance Program to allow years of continuous
service.
Through proper installation this unit will provide superior
service. This manual will provide basic information for
installation, maintenance, and repair.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving this unit, inspect it for damage or
shortages. If damage has occurred, le a claim
immediately with the delivery company that delivered your
equipment. If the manual is removed from the crating, do
not lose or misplace it.
B-3) Storage:
This unit has been packaged and protected for shipping
and indoor storage. If it is to be stored outside for an
extended period, additional protection must be added.
Short Term - For best results, retain BAF factory
assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant temperature
for up to six (6) months.
Long Term - Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty four (24) months. The units
should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed
over walled enclosure that provides protection from the
elements (rain, snow, wind blown dust, etc..), and whose
temperature can be maintained between +40 deg. F and
+120 deg. F. If extended high humidity is expected to be
a problem, all exposed parts should be inspected before
storage and all surfaces that have the paint scratched,
damaged, or worn should be recoated. All surfaces should
then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.

SECTION: C INSTALLATION
C-1) Location:
The Break Away Fitting, when used in conjunction with
Barnes Submersible Sewage Pumps is recommended for
operation in a non-hazardous wet well, tank, or lift station.
WARNING ! - UNIT NOT RECOMMENDED FOR
OPERATION IN CLASS 1, GROUP D, DIVISION
1 HAZARDOUS LOCATION WET WELL, BASIN,
OR LIFT STATION.
C-2) Design Layout:
See the dimensional drawings on the following pages for
the required anchor bolt locations for the stationary elbow
to be installed with four anchor bolts set in a metal sleeve
and accurately set into concrete. Hook bolts can be used,
however, they are more difcult to locate in concrete. Use
required shims under the stationary elbow base to level
the horizontal ange and then grout under the base as
required. A 30 day concrete cure is required before a full
load can be applied to the anchor bolts.
The 1” schedule 40 guide rail pipes must be plumbed
after mounting on stationary base elbow. Pipe material
may be galvanized steel or stainless steel (optional from
manufacturer or supplied by customer).
C-3) Intermediate Support Assembly:
Whenever the guide pipe lengths exceed 13 feet, an
intermediate guide rail support bracket should be used.
The intermediate guide rail support brackets may be
supported from the vertical discharge pipe. (Intermediate
supplied separately as optional item).
C-4) Installing Pump To Break Away Fitting:
See the following diagrams for installation guidelines that
apply to vertical discharge pumps ONLY.
C-5) Thread Locking Compound:
Thread locking compound can be purchased locally
in small quantities. When used, they provide an extra
assurance the bolted joint will remain together. These
Anaerobic Adhesive/Sealant Thread Locking compounds
are available in several grades from several suppliers and
recommendations are as follows:
