OPERATI G I STRUCTIO S FOR SETHCO ZKX VERTICAL PUMPS
SETHCO
A Met-Pro Fluid Handling Technologies Company
Thermoplastic Pumps
GE ERAL DESCRIPTIO
Sethco close coupled vertical pumps are centrifugal type pumping units designed for installation inside or outside of an open
tank. All pump parts in contact with the fluid are PVDF.
PRE-I STALLATIO
All Sethco pumps are tested at the factory for proper operation. Before installing your new Sethco pump, the
following is recommended:
• Determine that the equipment checks against the packing slip for completeness of order. If there is a discrepancy, please
notify Sethco immediately.
• Inspect pump and any accessories packed with the unit to assure no damage has occurred during transit.
• Determine if any packing materials are lodged in the pump.
• Turn the impeller to determine that it is not bound. Damage to the drive motor can result from an excessive load.
PUMP I STALLATIO
WAR I G: WHE HA DLI G THE PUMP U IT, IT IS VERY IMPORTA T TO PICK UP THE U IT BY THE MOTOR A D OR
MOU TI G PA EL O LY.
• Your vertical pump is designed for mounting inside or outside the tank by means of the mounting panel.
• Examine mounting location for maintenance accessibility.
• Secure the unit by bolting or clamping the mounting panel in place.
• The pump shaft must be vertical to avoid damage during operation.
PIPI G THE PUMP
The pump has been designed with all necessary strength factors for a long, reliable service life. However, due to thermoplastic
construction, care must be taken during installation to avoid unnecessary pipe strain. If piping strains are to be encountered,
flexible connections are recommended.
• All piping must be supported independent of the pump.
• The piping should always line up naturally. Never draw the pipe to the suction or discharge connections. Piping loads
transferred to the pump body assembly can cause damage to the pump.
• Outside installations should be compensated for changes in ambient temperature. Refer to pipe manufacturers
standards for proper installation. Omission of this can result in severe strain transmitted to the pump body assembly.
• If expansion joints are used, they should be installed in a location to prevent loading of the pump connections.
• Piping should be as short and direct as possible. Avoid all unnecessary elbows, bends and fittings, as they increase
friction losses in the piping.
DISCHARGE PIPI G
Installation of a valve in the discharge line, that can be used as a flow shutoff for inspection and maintenance, is recom-
mended. It should be of a design to allow throttling or flow control. The diameter of the discharge valve should be as large or
larger than the pump discharge.
SUCTIO PIPI G
When the unit is mounted outside the tank, the pump inlet should be kept as short as possible, with minimum restrictions, for
easy priming and proper operation. Inlet piping should be at least as large as the pump inlet.
