Centrifugal Pump IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Safety is very important! DO NOT attempt to modify any Wright Flow product! The TR-IS series centrifugal pumps have been designed to be safe and reliable. Any modifications could create unsafe conditions and void all warranties.
Before servicing pump, disconnect the electrical power source. The TR-IS series are closed-coupled pumps and are made up of two sections: power or drive section, and the liquid end or pump section. The pump is mounted to the frame of the drive motor by means of an adapter and is coupled to the motor shaft.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump ASSEMBLY PRELIMINARIES WARNING Before servicing pump, disconnect the electrical power source, carefully relieve all pressure, and drain all fluids from pump and connected piping. Before beginning the assembly procedure, identify every element that is going to be installed.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump START THE ASSEMBLY It is highly recommended that the general diagram is used to help identify the components used in carrying out the assemblies and sub-assemblies that are explained below. 1. LEG BRACKET ASSEMBLIES The leg bracket assemblies are optional.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump 2. ASSEMBLY OF THE ADAPTER TO THE MOTOR Place the stainless adapter (15) on the motor flange and fasten it with hexagonal screws. Tighten to the torque values recommended in Chart 1.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump 3. SPACING OF THE IMPELLER AND STUB SHAFT The correct operation of the pump depends on the separation of the impeller (5) from the backplate (7), and the fixation of the stub shaft (10) on the motor shaft. Follow the ensuing steps to install the stub shaft on to the motor shaft.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump Once the assembly is tightened, place a spacer between the back of the impeller and the front of the backplate. Use a spacer of 0.025” (0.63 mm) thru 0.030” (0.76 mm) for models 114, 214, 216 &...
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump To remove the elements previously assembled, use the Ø3/8” plastic or soft dowel, the hexagonal socket, and wrench to untighten the impeller nut. Take the impeller nut, impeller gasket, impeller, and impeller key off. Do not forget to remove the spacer used to determine the stub shaft position.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump Internal Rotary Seal Sub-Assembly First, place the spring (6E) into the rotary holder (6A). The cut side must be centered with the pin inside the rotary holder. It is recommended to place the tips of the spring touching the rotary holder’s inside surface.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump Tighten the assembly as it is indicated in step 3c. For models 114 and 214 use a torque value of 25 ft.lb. For all other models, use a torque value of 40 ft.lb. Figure M.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump Now, insert the whole rotary seal sub-assembly on to the stub-shaft. This will contact the stationary seal face previously placed in the backplate. Push to compress the assembly and then insert the impeller key into the stub-shaft. Place the O-ring (6G) onto the stub-shaft end; this O- ring seals between the stub-shaft, the rotary holder, and impeller.

ASSEMBLING THE CASING Once the mechanical seal has been installed and the impeller and impeller nut assembly has been tightened, place the casing O-ring (2) onto the groove on the front of the backplate. Take the casing (1) and place it onto the adapter.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump Turn the impeller by hand and check that it does not rub against the casing. The assembly should turn easily without restriction. If there is any sound or sensation of rubbing, you need to check the whole assembly by disassembling and starting again.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TR-IS SERIES Centrifugal Pump QUICK GUIDE FOR SOLVING COMMON PROBLEMS Wright Flow products are relatively easy to maintain. Just as with any other element of machines, problems may arise. This section offers a guide for identifying and correcting a majority of the pumping problems.
