GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS This instruction manual is intended to assist those responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of MAGNATEX Magnetic Drive Sealless Pumps. Read the complete manual thoroughly, and review the Hydraulic Institute Standards Rotodynamic Pumps for Pump Piping (ANSI/HI 9.6.6-2016)
If long-term storage is necessary prior to pump installation/operation, contact your local representative or MAGNATEX PUMPS INC. for long-term storage recommendations. For maximum protection cover the pump with plastic or other protective material. Motors should be rotated by hand every 2-3 months.
(assuming constant demand to the system). G. Magnatex pumps, although very rugged, are not designed to handle excessive pipe stress. The resulting forces and moments on the pump can result in misalignment and possible damage to the pump.
If after repeating Step C several times, the pressure gauge does not hold steady or does not yield the expected pressure (from performance curve), contact your Magnatex representative, or MAGNATEX PUMPS INC. (713-972-8666) for assistance. Do not continue to operate the pump under these conditions.
PVC drift rod and mallet after initial firm hand tightening and “bottoming” of the component. These tools may also be used for removing the components. A special socket tool is available from Magnatex for loosening the inner magnet locknut (impeller locknut) at a modest cost.
The magnet forces will attempt to remain engaged, so it is important to have a firm grasp of the impeller and magnet assembly when pulling it from the frame in one motion. Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...

10. Working with the impeller and inner magnet assembly, called the PB Assembly, the following components are removeable: a. Inner Magnet Locknut (Item 9), LH threaded – turn CW to remove from impeller Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...
2. Using a small amount of anti-seize compound, lightly coat either the bore of the outer magnet (Item 13) OR the motor shaft to ease future maintenance. Place the motor key into the shaft keyway. Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...

Place the first bearing (Item 11) with fluted face away from the suction side of the impeller into the bore of the sleeve (tapered OD) section of the backside of the impeller. The flat side prevents relative rotation between the impeller and Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...

This completes the assembly of the PB assembly, and it may now be placed into the pump casing by gently placing it onto the shaft. If this is a spare assembly, the PB should be bagged to keep it clean and placed in a wooden/ heavy cardboard Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...
(Item 18) is the easiest way to “break” the magnetic couple. Threaded jacking bolt holes are provided on the pump Frame to allow slowly separating the motor from the Frame with the motor firmly supported for a controlled Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...

5. Pull the motor from the pump frame in one straight axial motion, separating the magnet coupling. Jacking bolts may be utilized for a slower, more controlled separation of the motor from the pump.

Impeller Ring (Item 4) Replace if damaged with heavy grooves/chips/gouges, or if lubrication groove depth on the front of the ring is < 0.060” (1.524mm). The ring thickness when new is 10mm. Replacement is usually recommended. Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...
There are no clearance adjustments, and optimal pump performance is based upon all parts being within spec./good condition. Always replace the casing gasket and check the pump process-lubricated bearings for wear Copyright 2025 Magnatex Pumps Inc...
