APPLICATION
 
These vertical multistage high pressure pumps are suitable for water supply, irrigation, sprinkler installations, wash down applications, fire fighting, transfer cooling water, hot circulation and as boiler feed pumps.
 
CONSTRUCTION
 
This is a vertical pump with single or multistage construction.  The intermediate casings are clamped together by external tie bolt and sealed with 'O' ring.
 
BEARINGS
 
Deep groove ball bearing is used at one end and bronze bush bearing is used at other end as well as in the intermediate casings, depending upon the number of stages.
 
SEALING ARRANGEMENT
 
Conventional soft graphited packed stuffing boxes are incorporated.  The shaft is fitted with renewable shaft sleeve in the region of the stuffing box, which protects the shaft from wear due to packing.  For higher temperatures exceeding 80ºc up to 120ºc, special water-jacketed stuffing boxes are fitted, which maintain the temperature in the stuffing box region within acceptable limit.  For special applications special design of stuffing boxes or mechanical seals can be fitted as required.
 
SUCTION AND DELIVERY
NOZZLES
 
The standard pump will have suction nozzle horizontal located near the base.  The discharge nozzle is also horizontal located near the drive end.  The position for the discharge nozzle can be supplied in line, opposite or at 90º in either direction with the suction nozzle.  Both the nozzles are flanged available in either oval or round shape.
 
DRIVE
 
The prime mover should be directly connected to the pump through a flexible coupling.  The motor required is normally a flanged mounted motor to be fitted on the bracket supplied along with the pump.
