    Discharge Piping | Stuffing Box EXTERNAL-INJECTION LIQUID-SEAL PIPING STUFFING BOX a) A tapped hole is supplied in the stuffing box Contaminants in the pumped liquid must not enter directly over the seal cage to introduce a clean, the stuffing box. These contaminants may cause clear sealing liquid.

    Maintenance Time Table MAINTENANCE GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND PERIODIC INSPECTION Operating conditions vary so widely that to recommend one schedule of preventative maintenance for all centrifugal pumps is not possible. Yet, some sort of regular inspection must be planned and followed. We suggest a permanent record be kept of the periodic inspections and maintenance performed on your pump.
  • Page 9: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting No liquid delivered CAUSES CURES 1. Lack of prime Fill pump and suction pipe completely with liquid. 2. Loss of prime Check for leaks in suction pipe joints and fittings; vent casing to remove accumulated air. 3. Suction lift too high If no obstruction at inlet, check for pipe friction losses.
  • Page 10 Troubleshooting Not enough liquid delivered CAUSES CURES 17. Foot valve too small or partially Area through ports of valve should be at least as large as area obstructed of suction pipe, preferably 1½ times. If strainer is used, net clear area should be 3 to 4 times area of suction pipe. 18.
