4 Installation
4.1 Preinstallation
Precautions
WARNING:
• When installing in a potentially explosive environment, make sure that the motor is
properly certified.
• You must ground (earth) all electrical equipment. This applies to the pump equipment,
the driver, and any monitoring equipment. Test the ground (earth) lead to verify that it is
connected correctly.
• Motors without built-in protection must be provided with contactors and thermal overload
protection for single-phase motors, or starters with heaters for three-phase motors. (See
the nameplate on the drive unit to select properly-sized overloads.)
NOTICE:
Supervision by an authorized Xylem representative is recommended to ensure proper
installation. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
Evaluate the installation in order to determine that the Net Positive Suction Head Available
(NPSHA) meets or exceeds the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR), as stated by
the pump performance curve.
4.1.1 Pump mounting guidelines
Series e-80SCXL pumps can only be mounted with the motor shaft vertical (motor shaft
down).
CAUTION:
The pump and motor assembly must be properly supported during this procedure to prevent
the pump unit or motor assembly from falling. Failure to properly support the pump and
motor assembly could result in personal injury and or property damage.
4.1.2 Pump location guidelines
WARNING:
Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support this
equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift equipment
only at the specifically identified lifting points. Lifting devices such as eyebolts, slings, and
spreaders must be rated, selected, and used for the entire load being lifted.
Guideline Explanation/comment
Keep the pump as close to the liquid source as
practically possible.
If the pump is not on a closed system, locate the
pump so that the fewest number of bends or elbows
in the suction pipe are needed.
This minimizes the friction loss and keeps the
suction piping as short as possible.
Make sure that the space around the pump is
sufficient.
This facilitates ventilation, inspection, maintenance,
and service.
If you require lifting equipment such as a hoist or
tackle, make sure that there is enough space above
the pump.
This makes it easier to properly use the lifting
equipment and safely remove and relocate the
components to a safe location.
Protect the unit from weather and water damage
due to rain, flooding, and freezing temperatures.
This is applicable if nothing else is specified.
4 Installation
Series e-80SCXL INSTRUCTION MANUAL 11

Guideline Explanation/comment
Do not install and operate the equipment in closed
systems unless the system is constructed with
properly-sized safety devices and control devices.
Acceptable devices:
• Pressure relief valves
• Expansion tanks
• Pressure controls
• Temperature controls
• Flow controls
If the system does not include these devices,
consult the engineer or architect in charge before
you operate the pump.
Take into consideration the occurrence of unwanted
noise and vibration.
The best pump location for noise and vibration
absorption is on a concrete floor with subsoil
underneath.
If the pump location is overhead, undertake special
precautions to reduce possible noise transmission.
Consider a consultation with a noise specialist.
When possible, locate the pump below the fluid
level.
This facilitates priming, ensures a steady flow of
liquid, and provides a positive suction head on the
pump.
4.1.3 Piping checklist
WARNING:
• The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric expansion. The associated
forces can cause the failure of system components and the release of high-temperature
fluids. In order to prevent this, install properly sized and located compression tanks and
pressure-relief valves. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal
injury or death, or property damage.
• Avoid serious personal injury and property damage. Make sure that the flange bolts are
adequately torqued.
NOTICE:
Never force piping to make a connection with a pump.
Check Explanation/comment Checked
Check that a section of straight pipe, with a
length that is five times its diameter, is installed
between the suction side of the pump and the
first elbow, or that a B&G Suction Diffuser Plus is
installed.
This reduces suction turbulence by
straightening the flow of liquid before it
enters the pump.
Check that the suction and discharge pipes are
supported independently by use of pipe hangers
near the pump.
This eliminates pipe strain on the pump.
Check that there is a strong, rigid support for the
suction and discharge lines.
As a rule, ordinary wire or band hangers
are not adequate to maintain proper
alignment.
For pumps with flanges, check that the bolt holes
in the pump flanges match the bolt holes in the
pipe flanges.
—
Check that the suction or discharge lines are not
forced into position.
The code for Pressure Piping (A.S.A.B.
31.1) lists many types of supports
available for various applications.
Check that fittings for absorbing expansion are
installed in the system when considerable
temperature changes are expected.
This helps to avoid strain on the pump.
4 Installation
12 Series e-80SCXL INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Check Explanation/comment Checked
Check that you have a foot valve of equal or
greater area than the pump suction piping when
you use in an open system with a suction lift.
Prevent clogging by using a strainer at the
suction inlet next to the foot valve. Make
sure that the strainer has an area three
times that of the suction pipe with a mesh
hole diameter of no less than 0.25 in.
(0.64 cm).
Check that flexible piping is used on both the
suction and discharge sides of the pump when
you use an isolation base.
—
Check that a B&G Triple Duty® valve is installed
in the discharge line.
Check that the pipeline has isolation valves
around the pump and has a drain valve in the
suction pipe.

4.4 Foundation requirements
Requirements
• A substantial foundation and footing should be built to suit local conditions and form a
rigid support to maintain alignment.
• The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid
support for the unit.
• If the foundation is installed over the floor, it must be properly bonded and tied to the
floor.
Recommendations
• Floor weight can be included in the Pump Foundation weight calculation within the
boundary of the Pump Foundation if properly attached/bonded to the floor.
• Pump Foundations should extend 4-6” (100-150 mm) or more from pump base plate
edges.
• The Pump Foundation width should include sufficient width to cover a 30 degree rule.
• Pump Foundation construction minimum requirements: 3000 psi (200 bar) concrete with
steel re-enforcement.
• Pump Foundations should be a minimum of 4” (100 mm) above the floor to prevent water
collection around the pump base plate.
Pump Foundation Width 30° Rule
MIN
30º
MIN
30º
The width of the pump foundation should be wider than the extended 30° lines. When
viewing the pump from the end of the base plate establish a vertical line through the pump
flange center. On both sides of this vertical line a line that starts at the pump flange center
and extends downward at 30°. These lines must pass through the bottom of the foundation.
Pumps on Spring Isolation Bases
• Spring mounting isolates the vibration from a pump from the floor or the foundation it is
mounted on. Spring mounting can absorb piping loads from thermal expansion or
reactions to internal pressure for properly supported piping systems. Be sure to anchor
the piping before mounting to the pump.
• The pump unit can be installed on a spring isolated base. The spring isolators are not to
be installed directly to the pump base plate given. The entire unit must be put on an
isolation base that has the spring mounts attached to it. These isolation bases are
welded structural steel with reinforcing and are filled with concrete or grout. The design
requirements and installation of these isolation bases are the responsibility of the
installing contractor.
• Use flexible piping on both suction and discharge sides with an isolation base. Flexible
piping decreases the strain on the flanges.
4 Installation
Series e-80SCXL INSTRUCTION MANUAL 15

Anchor bolts
• Foundation bolts or anchors of the proper size and type must be used. Foundation bolts
that are cast in place can be of either type shown in pump detail figure. Concrete anchors
can also be used. The type selected must be consistent with local codes.
• The size of the foundation bolts or anchor should be 1/8” (3 mm) smaller diameter than
the holes provided in the base plate. Refer to the pump submittal for the quantity and

• As a rule, the diameter of the anchor bolt hole should be 0.125 in (3 mm) larger than the
diameter of the anchor bolt.
4.5 Requirements for setting the baseplate
CAUTION:
Use an anchor bolt and a plain, flat, type-W washer at each anchor bolt hole. Otherwise, the
pump unit can shift. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious property damage
and/or moderate personal injury.
It is very important that the pump base is set level in order to avoid any mechanical
difficulties with the motor or pump.
Base Plate Setting
• Place the pump unit on its concrete foundation, supporting it with steel wedges or shims.
– The wedges or shims should be machined and be put on both sides of each anchor
bolt to provide a means for leveling the base.
– The wedge or shim length should be equal to or greater than the base rail width.
– The width of the wedge or shim should be at least four times the diameter of the
anchor bolt.
– It is acceptable to place additional shims between the existing anchor bolts.
– Use an anchor bolt for each anchor bolt hole provided.

Foundation checklist
You must fulfill these requirements before the foundation is ready for pump installation:
• Place the pump unit on its concrete foundation and support it with steel wedges or shims.
• Machine the wedges or shims and then place them on both sides of each anchor bolt in
order to provide a means to level the base.
• Make sure that the length of the wedge or shim is at least four times the diameter of the
anchor bolt.
• You can place additional shims between the existing anchor bolts. Use an anchor bolt for
each anchor bolt hole provided and use plain, flat type-W washers with each anchor bolt.
Baseplate checklist
You must fulfill these requirements before the baseplate is ready for pump installation:
• Set the baseplate on the foundation and level it using shims under each mounting hole.
• Make sure that the length of the shim is at least four times the diameter of the mounting
bolt.
• Make sure that the shim thickness is at least 0.06 in. (1.52 mm) thick.
• Make sure that the base is anchored to the foundation with bolts in all mounting holes.
Optionally, you can place shims under the rail between the rail mounting bolts.

5 Commissioning, Startup,
Operation, and Shutdown
5.1 Preparation for startup
WARNING:
• Failure to follow these precautions before you start the unit will lead to serious personal
injury and equipment failure.
• Do not operate the pump below the minimum rated flows or with the suction or discharge
valves closed. These conditions can create an explosive hazard due to vaporization of
pumped fluid and can quickly lead to pump failure and physical injury.
• If the pump, motor, or piping operate at extremely high or low temperatures, then
guarding or insulation is required. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or death, and property damage.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or
maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious
physical injury.
• Operating the pump in reverse rotation can result in the contact of metal parts, heat
generation, and breach of containment.
NOTICE:
• Make sure that the warm-up rate does not exceed 2.5°F (1.4°C) per minute.
You must follow these precautions before you start the pump:
• Flush and clear the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in order
to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
• Run a new or rebuilt pump at a speed that provides enough flow to flush and cool the
close-running surfaces of the stuffing-box bushing.
• If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 200°F (93°C), then warm up the pump
prior to operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing
temperature is within 100°F (38°C) of the fluid temperature.
5.1.1 Check the rotation
WARNING:
• Operating the pump in reverse rotation can result in the contact of metal parts, heat
generation, and breach of containment.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or
maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious
physical injury.
1. Unlock power to the driver.
2. Make sure that everyone is clear, and then jog the driver long enough to determine that
the direction of rotation corresponds to the arrow on the pump.
3. Lock out power to the driver.
