INTRODUCTION

Thank You for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp pump.

Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely

install and operate your pump. Failure to do so

could result in personal injury or damage to the

pump.

This pump is a 10 Series, semi‐open impeller, self‐

priming centrifugal model with a suction check

valve. The pump is designed for handling most

non‐volatile, non‐flammable liquids containing

specified entrained solids. The basic material of

construction for wetted parts is cast iron, with duc

tile iron impeller.

This manual will alert personnel to known proce

dures which require special attention, to those

which could damage equipment, and to those

which could be dangerous to personnel. However,

this manual cannot possibly anticipate and provide

detailed precautions for every situation that might

occur during maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it

is the responsibility of the owner/maintenance per

sonnel to ensure that only safe, established main

tenance procedures are used, and that any proce

dures not addressed in this manual are performed

only after establishing that neither personal safety

nor pump integrity are compromised by such prac

tices.

For information or technical assistance on the pow

er source, contact the power source manufactur

er's local dealer or representative.

PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY ‐ SECTION A

This information applies to 10 Series ba

sic pumps. Gorman‐Rupp has no con

trol over or particular knowledge of the

power source which will be used. Refer

to the manual accompanying the power

source before attempting to begin oper

ation.

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 most

non‐volatile, non‐flammable liquids

containing specified entrained solids.

Do not attempt to pump volatile or flam

mable liquids which may damage the

pump or endanger personnel as a result

of pump failure.

After the pump has been installed, make

certain that the pump and all piping or

hose connections are tight, properly

supported and secure before operation.

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.

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.

Allow an over‐heated pump to com

pletely cool before servicing. Do not re

10 SERIESOM-06599

PAGE A - 2 SAFETY

move plates, covers, gauges, or fittings

from an over‐heated pump. Liquid with

in the pump can reach boiling tempera

tures, and vapor pressure within the

pump can cause parts being disen

gaged to be ejected with great force. Af

ter the pump completely cools, drain the

liquid from the pump by removing the

casing drain plug. Use caution when re

moving the plug to prevent injury to per

sonnel from hot liquid.

Do not operate the pump without

shields and/or guards in place over the

drive shafts, belts, and/or couplings, or

other rotating parts. Exposed rotating

parts can catch clothing, fingers, or

tools, causing severe injury to person

nel.

Never run this pump backwards. Be cer

tain that rotation is correct before fully

engaging the pump.

Pumps and related equipment must be in

stalled and operated according to all na

tional, local and industry standards.

10 SERIES OM-06599

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 positioned

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 (see Sec

tion E, Page 1).

For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp

distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.

Pump Dimensions

See Figure B-1 for the approximate physical di

mensions of this pump.

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.

OM-06599 10 SERIES

PAGE B - 2 INSTALLATION

c. Carefully read all tags, decals, and markings

on the pump assembly, and perform all duties

indicated. Note that the pump shaft rotates in

the required direction.

Only operate this pump in the direction in

dicated by the arrow on the pump body

and on the accompanying decal. Other

wise, the impeller could become loosened

from the shaft and seriously damage the

pump.

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 has been stored for more than 12

months, some of the components or lubri

cants may have exceeded their maximum

shelf life. These must be inspected or re

placed to ensure maximum 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

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.

The pump assembly can be seriously

damaged if the chains or cables used to lift

and move the unit are improperly wrapped

around the pump.

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

A minimum clearance of 18 inches in front of the

cover plate is required to permit removal of the cov

er and easy access to the pump interior.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

Pump performance is adversely effected by in

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric

tion losses. See the performance curve 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.

10 SERIES OM-06599

PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION

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 1‐1/4 inch

(31,8 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

tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer's rec

ommendations when selecting and applying the

pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible

with the liquid being pumped.

Suction Lines In Sumps

If a single suction line is installed in a sump, it

should be positioned away from the wall of the

sump at a distance equal to 1‐1/2 times the diame

ter of the suction line.

If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the

sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc

tion inlet because the inflow will carry air down into

the sump, and air entering the suction line will re

duce pump efficiency.

If it is necessary to position inflow close to the suc

tion inlet, install a baffle between the inflow and the

suction inlet at a distance 1‐1/2 times the diameter

of the suction pipe. The baffle will allow entrained

air to escape from the liquid before it is drawn into

the suction inlet.

If two suction lines are installed in a single sump,

the flow paths may interact, reducing the efficiency

of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the

suction inlets so that they are separated by a dis

tance equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the

suction pipe.

Suction Line Positioning

The depth of submergence of the suction line is

critical to efficient pump operation. Figure B-2

shows recommended minimum submergence vs.

velocity.
