This instruction manual will familiarise operators with detailed information about installing, operating and maintaining the pump. The CTV series are single-stage pumps with the pump casing directly submerged in the liquid. It is driven by an asynchronous electric motor. The inlet is located axially to the drive shaft, facing downwards and has a female BSP (plastic pumps) or male BSPT (metal pumps) threaded connection.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION 1.1. Operation principle In order to operate the pump, the liquid level has to be above the impeller before start-up (for details see chapter 1.9 Example of installation). The rotating impeller generates a centrifugal force accelerating the liquid through the pump casing and into the discharge piping.
INSTALLATION Be careful that nobody passes under the pump when lifted. Never try to lift the pump by the manifolds or hoses attached to the pump. 1.5. Installation ➢ The CTV pump must be installed vertically and can be used in sumps, tanks and similar containers ➢...
Any changes concerning the service of the pump as originally purchased, can be executed only after written approval from Tapflo. It is recommended to use only genuine Tapflo spare parts and approved accessories. The use of unoriginal spare parts or non-approved accessories will void warranty and remove any responsibility on our behalf for any damage caused to people or things.
INSTALLATION 1.9. Example of installation Flooded installation Installation with suction extension ➢ All installations: 1) Valve for flow control 2) Non-return valve (check valve) on discharge as close to the pump as possible 3) Connection point for pressure gauge or pressure switch 4) Divert discharge with 45°...
INSTALLATION 1.10. Instruments In order to ensure a proper control of the performance and the conditions of the installed pump, we recommend using the following instruments: ➢ a pressure gauge on the discharge piping. The pressure gauge on discharge must always be fitted between the pump and the shut-off regulation valve.
INSTALLATION 1.12. Motor standard As a standard Tapflo CTV pump are equipped with motors of the following parameters: ➢ International Mounting Arrangement – V1 ➢ Number of poles / Rotation speed [rpm] – 2 ➢ Non ATEX ➢ Protection grade – IP55 ➢...
OPERATION OPERATION 2.1. Start-up ➢ Check manually that the motor is free to turn, moving the motor cooling fan. ➢ Make sure that the piping is not clogged and is free from residues or foreign objects. ➢ The shut-off / regulation valve on the discharge side must be completely closed. ➢...
OPERATION 2.3. Residual risks Even with proper application and observance of all points listed in this operating manual, there is still an estimable and unexpected residual risk when using the pumps. It may leak, fail due to wear, application-related causes or system-related circumstances. 2.4.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Maintenance work on electrical installations must be performed by qualified personnel and only when the power supply has been shutoff. Follow the local and national safety regulations. Wait five minutes for capacitor discharge before opening any equipment. 3.1. Inspections In general CTV range pumps do not require any maintenance.
MAINTENANCE 3.3. Disassembly and assembly of the pump The disassembly should only be performed by qualified personnel. Each operation carried out on the machine must always be carried out once all the electrical contacts have been disconnected. The pump-motor unit must be placed in a position where it cannot be started unintentionally.

MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.3.4.2 Unscrew the casing mounting screws [141] with washers [142]. Fig. 3.3.4.3 Carefully lift off the pump cover [13] together with the elbow [17] and discharge pipe [12]. Fig. 3.3.4.4 Remove the casing O-ring [18]. NOTE! Always replace the casing O-ring after pump maintenance.
MAINTENANCE Fig 3.3.4.8 Remove the lip seal [161] from the motor shaft. Fig 3.3.4.9 Remove the motor fan cover from the electric motor and then remove the motor fan. Fig 3.3.4.10 Secure the free end of the motor shaft by means of universal pliers or similar.
MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.3.5.3 Use PTFE tape to tighten the connections between the pump cover [13], elbow [17] and discharge pipe [12]. 3.3.6. Test run We recommend you to conduct a test run of the pump before installing it in the system, so no liquid gets wasted if the pump leaks or perhaps does not start accordingly to wrong assembly of the pump.
OPTIONS OPTIONS 4.1. Suction extension and strainer – 4E05, 4E10, 4S The pump can be delivered with a suction extension pipe. It is a great solution when there is a need to empty a tank or sump from a lower level than the immersion depth of the pump.
OPTIONS 4.3. Left-hand thread on pump cover – 8L For plastic CTV pump there is an option of a left-hand thread on the pump cover. The thread can be differed from standard one with a cut on the socket. This way unscrewing of pump cover is avoided. This option is recommended especially when viscous liquids are pumped.
