Nomenclature
Pump assemblies are designated by pump models
which are specific to the hydraulics utilized for the
bowl assembly. Common bowl models are EB, EG,
EH, EJ, EK, EL, EM, EN, EP, EQ, SK, SL, SN, SP,
SR, ST, & AV. The pump size is expressed in terms
of nominal bowl diameter in inches, and those sizes
could vary from 150mm (6 in) to 1300 mm (52 in.).
The impeller model in each of these bowl assemblies

are designated separately. See section 3.2.1 for
more details.

(Typical representation with a circular base manual, all types of drivers can be grouped into two

a) Hollow shaft drivers: The head shaft extends

through a tube in the center of the rotor and is
connected to the driver by a clutch assembly at the top
of the driver.
b) Solid shaft drivers: The rotor shaft is solid and

projects below the driver-mounting base. This type
driver requires an adjustable coupling for connecting
to the pump.
Discharge Head Assembly

The discharge head contains the suction and
discharge pipe connections, as applicable, and
supports the driver, column assembly and bowl
assembly, as supplied. See section 3.2.2.1.
e) UF type fabricated discharge head The shaft sealing arrangement is located in the
(Typical representation with square base plate) discharge head which contains the pumpage at the
point where the shaft exits from the liquid chamber.
The shaft seal will usually be either a mechanical

seal assembly or stuffing box with an open lineshaft
or a tube-packing box with an enclosed lineshaft.
Column assembly
The column assembly consists of the column pipe,
bearing, bearing retainer, and shaft assembly. The
column pipe connects the bowl assembly to the
discharge head and directs the pumped fluid to the
discharge head. Typical column assemblies are:
Suction strainers
a) Flanged column assembly: VTPs can also be fitted with strainers [316] to prevent
foreign particles from entering the pump. The type of
strainers and the mesh size depends on the
application. Examples are shown below. Strainers
are fastened [422] directly to the suction bell [55] or
attached using clips [421]. Cone shaped strainers
are provided with internal or external threads to
attach it to the main assembly.

specific order requirements and application criteria.
Bowl assemblies
The bowl assembly consists of impellers rigidly
mounted on the pump shaft coupled to an electric
motor. Impellers are cast wheels with multiple diffuser
vanes and are generally coated to meet the hydraulic
requirements. See section 8.0 for cross sectional and
part details.
Impellers
VTP’s are supplied with enclosed, or semi open Low pressure stuffing box

Starting the Pump
Pre-starting checks
Before starting the pump, the following checks should

be made.
a) Rotate the pump shaft by hand to make sure the
pump rotates freely and the impellers are
correctly positioned.
b) Ensure that the electric motor has been properly
lubricated in accordance with the instructions
furnished with the driver.
c) Ensure the electric motor has been checked for
proper rotation. The pump must be disconnected
from the driver at the coupling before checking.
The electric motor must rotate counter-clockwise Typical safety guards

when looking down on the top of the driver.
d) Check all connections to the driver and control.
Do not overfill the grease cavity. Over greasing
can lead to overheating and premature failure of
the thrust bearing.
e) Check that all piping connections are tight.
f) Check all foundation bolts for tightness.
g) Check all bolting connections for tightness
(coupling bolts, mechanical seal gland bolts,
driver bolts etc.).
h) Make sure the mechanical seal is properly GUARDS
adjusted and locked into place. Ensure that all INSTALLED
seal spacers are in the running position prior to
operation.
i) All guards must be secured in position prior to
pump startup to prevent possible contact with
rotating parts.
To ensure proper alignment three items are very
important during installation and they are:
· All machined mating surfaces (such as the
mating faces of the pump and motor) must be
clean and free from burrs and nicks.

Assembly
To assemble the pump assembly, consult the typical
sectional drawings or the “as built cross sectional”
when provided.
The pump that has been purchased may

have order specific assembly and parts
configurations. Specific cross sectional drawings that
reflect the exact pump/parts details can be purchased
from Flowserve. Contact Flowserve for drawings
purchase and cost information.
It is recommended to call for trained Flowserve

technicians for all your assembly needs.
&Refer to seal manufacturer’s instructions for

disassembly and re-assembly of mechanical seals.
Please take precaution during

assembly process such that there is no risk of
explosion due to the nature of the materials/ tools/
equipment/ methods used. Wherever chemicals and
hazardous materials are involved, proper safety rules
must be followed to prevent any dangers to human
lives or livestock. Refer to applicable local regulatory
agency requirements for specific safety information.
