Overview - Red Jacket Quick-Set VSFC Submersible Turbine Pump Installation, Service, & Parts Lists

Introduction

Overview

The Red Jacket VSFC STP ensures a constant flow to each nozzle in the fuel line, regardless of the number of
nozzles in use at anytime. The Red Jacket VSFC STP fits 4-inch NPT threaded, thin-wall risers and is adjustable to
fit the requirements of most installations.
Newly designed features of The Red Jacket VSFC STP are:
• Service spill elimination
The check valve can be raised to provide a larger path to depressurize the line and return fuel to the tank.
• Vacuum monitoring applications
The vacuum sensor siphon is a monitoring-grade siphon system. It is designed specifically for use in vacuum
monitoring applications, and to integrate with V-R vacuum sensors. The two-port vacuum sensor-siphon system
incorporates a redesigned one-piece rubber check valve with an inline filter screen that reduces the clogs and
failures that can cause false alarms and downtime in vacuum monitoring applications.
• Plug-in yoke electrical connection
Current safety practice when servicing existing STPs requires turning off the circuit breaker, backing off the
bolts by up to one inch, and then manually pulling the electrical yoke connection apart. With The Red Jacket
VSFC STP you turn off the circuit breaker, then simply back off the two nuts holding the extractable in place and
the yoke electrical connection is broken as the extractable is removed. After service is complete, the electrical
circuit reconnects when the two nuts are retightened. Safe, simple, and easy.
• Extractable is easy to service
The Red Jacket VSFC STP incorporates industrial die springs that break loose the o-ring seals when the nuts
holding the extractable in place are removed. No physical effort or special equipment is required to break the
seal. In addition, all connected parts have been moved to the manifold. There is no need to remove parts,
pressure transducers, leak detectors, or siphons when service or upgrades require removing the extractable.
Utilize the lifting eyebolt to lift out the extractable unit. Removal of the extractable section of the pump must be
conducted with caution. Make certain that the extractable section remains centered within the riser pipe and
that no portion of the extractable binds during the removal process. If binding occurs during removal, stop and
determine the cause of the binding and correct the situation before proceeding with removal.
• Manifold allows for vertical or horizontal discharge
The Red Jacket VSFC STP has been designed for vertical product discharge via a 2-inch NPT threaded port,
but with adequate swinging radius to allow for the addition of an elbow to accommodate a side discharge. In
fact, the discharge is now located higher on the manifold so that a side discharge is on the same plane as the
rest of the pump.
• Built-in contractor's box
An electrical connection housing (contractor's box) is built into The Red Jacket VSFC STP's manifold and is
completely isolated from the fuel path. Unlike existing systems, there is no adjustment required to fit the yoke,
making this pump easy to install.
• Pressurized Line leak detection (PLLD) compatibility
The Red Jacket VSFC STP's pressure transducer does double duty by supplying the product line's pressure
measurements for both variable speed flow control and Veeder-Root's PLLD system.
