3 Product Description Table notes 1. An external flush is required on low pressure systems that contain a high concentration of abrasives. 2. For operating temperatures above 250°F, a cooled flush is required and is recommended for temperatures above 225°F for optimum seal life. On closed systems, cooling is accomplished by inserting a small heat exchanger in the flush line to cool the seal flushing fluid.
(See the nameplate on the drive unit to select properly-sized overloads.) 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 Guideline Explanation/comment Keep the pump as close to the liquid source as practically This minimizes the friction loss and keeps the suction possible. piping as short as possible. If the pump is not on a closed system, locate the pump so that the fewest number of bends or elbows in the suction pipe are needed.
4 Installation Check Explanation/comment Checked For pumps with flanges, check that the bolt holes in — the pump flanges match the bolt holes in the pipe flanges. For pumps mounted in vertical piping with the motor This prevents strain on the pump parts and in the horizontal position, check that adequate piping.
Page 16
4 Installation In many installations, the piping is installed near the ceiling with the pump located close to the floor for ease of maintenance. Pumps with up to 3 inch nozzles and up to 215 NEMA frame motors can be installed in this configuration with pipe hangers adequate to carry the loads from the pump, piping and piping accessories.

4 Installation Pumps with motors 256 NEMA frame and below can be installed with the shaft horizontal and the piping vertical with supports for the piping (not shown) adequate to carry the loads from the pump and piping. See Figure 8: on page 15 Figure 8 Pumps with motors 256 NEMA frame and below can also...

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 5.2 Prime the pump CAUTION: Do not run the pump dry. Make sure that the pump body is full of liquid before startup. If the system does not automatically fill the pump body with liquid, then you must manually prime the pump. 1.
5 Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown Operation at reduced capacity WARNING: Never operate any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge. Operation, even for a brief period under these conditions, can cause confined pumped fluid to overheat, which results in a violent explosion. You must take all necessary measures to avoid this condition.
6 Maintenance 6 Maintenance 6.1 Standby operation The pump unit in use and the one on standby must alternate regularly to ensure even distribution of the hours of operation. Make the change manually or install an automatic controller. When pumping domestic hot water, the pump units should alternate at least once per day to prevent any deposits from clogging the pump unit on standby.
6 Maintenance 6.4.1 Disassembly precautions This manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be adhered to. WARNING: • Make sure that the pump is isolated from the system and that pressure is relieved before you disassemble the pump, remove plugs, open vent or drain valves, or disconnect the piping.
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 6.5.1 Replacement guidelines Impeller replacement This table shows the criteria for replacing the impeller: Impeller parts When to replace Impeller vanes • When grooved deeper than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm), or • When worn evenly more than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) Vane edges When you see cracks, pitting, or corrosion damage Gaskets, O-rings, and seats replacement...
