PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY - SECTION A

This information applies to Super T Se

ries basic pumps. Gorman‐Rupp has no

control over or particular knowledge of

the power source which will be used.

Refer to the manual accompanying the

power source before attempting to be

gin operation.

Because pump installations are seldom

identical, this manual cannot possibly

provide detailed instructions and pre

cautions for each specific application.

Therefore, it is the owner/installer's re

sponsibility to ensure that applications

not addressed in this manual are per

formed only after establishing that nei

ther operator safety nor pump integrity

are compromised by the installation.

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man

ual.

2. Disconnect or lock out the power

source to ensure that the pump will

remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Check the temperature before

opening any covers, plates, or

plugs.

5. Close the suction and discharge

valves.

6. Vent the pump slowly and cau

tiously.

7. Drain the pump.

This pump is designed to handle liquids

containing large entrained solids or

slurries. Do not attempt to pump vola

tile, corrosive, or flammable materials

which may damage the pump or endan

ger personnel as a result of pump fail

ure.

After the pump has been positioned,

make certain that the pump and all pip

ing connections are tight, properly sup

ported and secure before operation.

Do not operate the pump without the

guards in place over the rotating parts.

Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth

ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in

jury to personnel.

Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,

pipe plugs, or fittings from an over

heated pump. Vapor pressure within the

pump can cause parts being disen

gaged to be ejected with great force. Al

low the pump to cool before servicing.

Do not operate the pump against a

closed discharge valve for long periods

of time. If operated against a closed dis

charge valve, pump components will

deteriorate, and the liquid could come

to a boil, build pressure, and cause the

pump casing to rupture or explode.

Death or serious personal injury and

damage to the pump or components

can occur if proper lifting procedures

SUPER T SERIESOM-05142

PAGE A - 2 SAFETY

are not observed. Make certain that

hoists, chains, slings or cables are in

good working condition and of suffi

cient capacity and that they are posi

tioned so that loads will be balanced

and the pump or components will not be

damaged when lifting. Suction and dis

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

Do not attempt to disengage any part of

an overheated pump unit. Vapor pres

sure within the pump casing can eject

these parts with great force when they

are disengaged. Allow the pump to

completely cool before servicing it.

This pump may be used to handle mate

rials which could cause illness through

direct exposure or emitted fumes. Wear

adequate protective clothing when

working on the pump or piping.

Pumps and related equipment must be in

stalled and operated according to all na

tional, local and industry standards.

OM-05142SUPER T SERIES

PAGE B - 1INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION - SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this

section offers only general recommendations and

practices required to inspect, position, and ar

range the pump and piping.

Most of the information pertains to a standard

static lift application where the pump is posi

tioned above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If installed in a flooded suction application where

the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,

some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

specific application. Since the pressure supplied

to the pump is critical to performance and safety,

be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of

the maximum permissible operating pressure as

shown on the pump performance curve.

For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp

distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.

Pump Dimensions

sions of this pump.

PAGE B - 2 INSTALLATION

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be

fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,

inspect the pump for damage which may have oc

curred during shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged

threads, and other obvious damage.

b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard

ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry

ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur

faces.

c. Carefully read all warnings and cautions con

tained in this manual or affixed to the pump,

and perform all duties indicated. Note the di

rection of rotation indicated on the pump.

Check that the pump shaft rotates counter

clockwise when facing the impeller.

Only operate this pump in the direction in

dicated by the arrow on the pump body

and on the accompanying decal. Refer to

ROTATION in OPERATION, Section C.

d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re

fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE

AND REPAIR section of this manual and per

form duties as instructed.

e. If the pump and power source have been

stored for more than 12 months, some of the

components or lubricants may have ex

ceeded their maximum shelf life. These must

be inspected or replaced to ensure maxi

mum pump service.

If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if

anything appears to be abnormal, contact your

Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the factory to deter

mine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the

pump into service until appropriate action has

been taken.

POSITIONING PUMP

Lifting

Death or serious personal injury and

damage to the pump or components

can occur if proper lifting procedures

are not observed. Make certain that

hoists, chains, slings or cables are in

good working condition and of suffi

cient capacity and that they are posi

tioned so that loads will be balanced

and the pump or components will not be

damaged when lifting. Suction and dis

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

Pump unit weights will vary depending on the

mounting and drive provided. Check the shipping

tag on the unit packaging for the actual weight, and

use lifting equipment with appropriate capacity.

Drain the pump and remove all customer‐installed

equipment such as suction and discharge hoses

or piping before attempting to lift existing, installed

units.

Mounting

Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as

practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mount

ing is essential for proper operation.

The pump may have to be supported or shimmed

to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra

tion.

Clearance

It is recommended that 18 inches (457 mm) of

clearance be provided in front of the back cover to

permit removal of the cover and easy access to the

pump interior. A minimum clearance of 10.5 in

OM-05142SUPER T SERIES

PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION

ches (267 mm) must be maintained to permit re

moval of the cover.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

Pump performance is adversely effected by in

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric

tion losses. See the performance curve and oper

ating range shown on Page E‐1 to be sure your

overall application allows pump to operate within

the safe operation range.

Materials

Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and

discharge lines; however, the materials must be

compatible with the liquid being pumped. If hose is

used in suction lines, it must be the rigid‐wall, rein

forced type to prevent collapse under suction. Us

ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom

mended.

Line Configuration

Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as

possible to minimize friction losses. Make mini

mum use of elbows and fittings, which substan

tially increase friction loss. If elbows are necessary,

use the long‐radius type to minimize friction loss.

Connections to Pump

Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex

actly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into

place by tightening the flange bolts and/or cou

plings.

Lines near the pump must be independently sup

ported to avoid strain on the pump which could

cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life,

and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose‐type

lines are used, they should have adequate support

to secure them when filled with liquid and under

pressure.

Gauges

Most pumps are drilled and tapped for installing

discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges. If

these gauges are desired for pumps that are not

tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge

lines not less than 18 inches (457,2 mm) from the

suction and discharge ports and install the lines.

Installation closer to the pump may result in erratic

readings.

SUCTION LINES

To avoid air pockets which could affect pump prim

ing, the suction line must be as short and direct as

possible. When operation involves a suction lift, the

line must always slope upward to the pump from

the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line

slopes down to the pump at any point along the

suction run, air pockets will be created.

Fittings

Suction lines should be the same size as the pump

inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they

should be the eccentric type, and should be in

stalled with the flat part of the reducers uppermost

to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor

mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,

install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock

ets.

Strainers

If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain

to use it; any spherical solids which pass through a

strainer furnished with the pump will also pass

through the pump itself.

If a strainer is not furnished with the pump, but is

installed by the pump user, make certain that the

total area of the openings in the strainer is at least

three or four times the cross section of the suction

line, and that the openings will not permit passage

of solids larger than the solids handling capability

of the pump.

This pump is designed to handle up to 3‐inch (76,2

mm) diameter spherical solids.

Sealing

Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head,

and capacity, especially when operating with a

high suction lift, all connections in the suction line

should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an air
