Piping; Connecting The Piping - KSB Etanorm FXV Installation & Operating Manual

5 Installation at Site
For a bolt-to-bolt distance (L) > 800 mm fit additional shims (2) halfway between
the bolt holes.
All shims must lie perfectly flush.
3. Insert the foundation bolts (3) into the holes provided.
4. Use concrete to set the foundation bolts (3) into the foundation.
5. Wait until the concrete has set firmly, then level the baseplate.
6. Tighten the foundation bolts (3) evenly and firmly.
NOTE
For optimum smooth running, baseplates should be grouted with low-shrinkage
concrete in the following cases:
- For all vibration-critical applications
- Baseplates with a width > 400 mm
- Baseplates made of grey cast iron
NOTE
For low-noise operation contact the manufacturer to check whether the pump set
can be installed on anti-vibration mounts.
NOTE
Expansion joints can be fitted between the pump and the suction/discharge line.
(Only if permitted in accordance with the fire protection directives!)

5.4 Piping

5.4.1 Connecting the piping

DANGER
Impermissible loads acting on the pump nozzles
Danger to life from escaping hot, toxic, corrosive or flammable fluids!
▷ Do not use the pump as an anchorage point for the piping.
▷ Anchor the pipes in close proximity to the pump and connect them properly
without transmitting any stresses or strains.
▷ Observe the permissible forces and moments at the pump nozzles.
▷ Take appropriate measures to compensate for thermal expansion of the piping.
CAUTION
Incorrect earthing during welding work at the piping
Destruction of rolling element bearings (pitting effect)!
▷ Never earth the electric welding equipment on the pump or baseplate.
▷ Prevent current flowing through the rolling element bearings.
NOTE
Installing check and shut-off elements in the system is recommended, depending on
the type of plant and pump. However, such elements must not obstruct proper
drainage or hinder disassembly of the pump.
