2 Transportation and Storage If the unit is stored for more than 6 months, these requirements apply: • Store in a covered and dry location. • Store the unit free from heat, dirt, and vibrations. • Rotate the shaft by hand several times at least every three months. Treat bearing and machined surfaces so that they are well preserved.
3 Product Description 3 Product Description 3.1 General description Description The pump is a centrifugal, close-coupled pump. The following pump features make it easy to install, operate, and service: • High efficiency • Rugged stainless steel-fitted construction • Footless (e-1531) or Foot-mounted (e-1532) volute Intended applications WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead, which is known to the State of...

3 Product Description 1. An external flush is required on low pressure systems that contain a high concentration of abrasives. 2. Use packing on open or closed systems which require a large amount of makeup water, as well as systems that are subjected to a wide variety of chemical conditions and solids buildup.
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...
4 Installation 4.1.2 Foundation requirements Requirements • The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid support for the unit. • The foundation must weigh at least 2-1/2 times the weight of the pump unit. •...
4 Installation 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.
4 Installation 4.2 Install the pump with motor (e-1532) 1. Place the pump with motor where it will be mounted, on the floor, on a raised concrete pad or on a base, with two 0.060 in (1.5 mm) thick shims provided under each of the four hold down bolt locations of the pump volute feet.
4 Installation 1. Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout. 2. Build a dam around the foundation. 3. Thoroughly wet the foundation that will come into contact with the grout. 4. Pour grout into the baseplate up to top of the base rails. Locate shims to allow removal after grouting.
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown 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.
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown 5.3 Start the pump CAUTION: • Observe the pump for vibration levels, bearing temperature, and excessive noise. If normal levels are exceeded, shut down the pump and resolve the issue. Before you start the pump, you must perform these tasks: •...
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown CAUTION: Avoid excessive vibration levels. Excessive vibration levels can damage the bearings, stuffing box or seal chamber, and the mechanical seal, which can result in decreased performance. NOTICE: • Avoid increased radial load. Failure to do so can cause stress on the shaft and bearings.

When it is necessary to reduce the pump flow rate and generated head by trimming the impeller diameter, the following guidelines apply for stainless steel impellers: • Review the pump hydraulic selection data and consult your local Xylem representative to select the proper reduced diameter.
6 Maintenance ØA ØB Figure 4: 4AD impeller trim — 0.125 in. (3.17 mm) increments Hydraulic diameter, nominal, as Diameter at impeller inlet side Trim angle shown on selection curves shroud From maximum diameter 7 in. Use diameter from selection curves 0 degrees, no angle (177.8 mm) to 6.125 in.
6 Maintenance 6.4 Reassembly 6.4.1 Seal assembly 6.4.1.1 Assemble the standard mechanical seal (e-1531/e-1532 and e-1531/e-1532-F) 1. Lubricate the shaft sleeve and coverplate seal cavity with soapy water. Do not use a petroleum lubricant. 2. Install a new cup gasket and a new seal insert with the indentation side down into the cup.
