GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Derrick
Model DE-CP Premium 250 Centrifugal Pump (Figure 8251-1). After reviewing this manual, if you
have questions, please contact your local Derrick representative for further assistance.
The DE-CP pump is designed to replace some older and existing 2.5” pumps, with a similar but
superior product. We have designed this pump keeping in mind a longer life, reliability, and easier
maintenance. Some of its outstanding features that contribute to its popularity and success are:
 Pump casing with a replaceable wear pad
 Stainless steel shaft sleeves
 Stainless steel casing nuts
 Grease lubricated bearings
 Leakage and contamination prevention through labyrinth seals
It is very important to closely follow proper installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines in
order to ensure a smooth and efficient pumping operation and a longer equipment life.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. The motor/driver must operate the pump in a manner that the rotation of the pump impeller
when viewed from the suction (front) side of the pump is counterclockwise. The pump must
not be operated in the reverse direction if damage to the pump is to be avoided.
2. The suction and discharge valves must not be completely closed when operating the pump.
3. The packing should be adjusted in a manner that a small amount of leakage remains for
lubrication and cooling purposes.
Note: Packing should remain loose on pumps with mechanical seals until tightening is
required due to mechanical seal failure.
4. For drilling mud operations, take care to prevent drying out and coagulation of seepage from
the packing in the areas of the front seal and the slinger.
Note: This potential accumulation of dried seepage applies to lip seal applications.
5. Do not operate the pump outside its designed performance envelope.
EQUIPMENT USE
The DE-CP centrifugal pump is designed expressly for pumping mud. Personnel responsible for
transporting, installing, operating, or maintaining this equipment should be required to read and
understand the instructions in this manual. One copy of this manual should be available and
accessible at the equipment location.
For maximum safety and performance, no additions and/or changes may be made to the
equipment without the explicit written permission of Derrick Equipment Company. Genuine

INSTALLATION
COMPATIBILITY
The DE-CP pump has been designed to ensure that it can replace existing pumps of the same
nominal size. To this end, its outside dimensions are guaranteed to match up to the existing
bases, piping, couplings, etc.
LOCATION
To eliminate the need for priming, the pump suction should be at a lower level than the level of
the liquid in the supply tank/reservoir.
FOUNDATION
It is recommended to pour a concrete foundation on a solid base and it should be big enough to
support the whole pump unit. The rigidity of the base plate will play an important role in damping
out structural vibrations so the foundation must be thick enough to accomplish that. Refer to
Hydraulic Institute’s Standard ANSI/HI 1.4-2000 for guidelines on this subject. Care must be taken
to level the base plate in a horizontal position. Also, when the application dictates the use of
fabricated bases, the foundation design must account for it properly, so that it can effectively
dampen the resulting resonant vibrations.
COUPLING ALIGNMENT
For any rotating machinery, the alignment of power transmitting and power consuming parts is
critical for its safe and long lasting service. Even if the motor and the pump were aligned
before shipping, it is very important to check the alignment after installation to ensure that
the arrangement has not moved during transportation or handling. We cannot
overemphasize proper alignment since it can mean the difference between a smooth and long
lasting pump operation as opposed to high vibrations and even failure of bearings, coupling,
pump or the motor. It should be noted that one must not try to align the pump and the motor
until its flange and mounting bolts have been tightened.
To perform the coupling alignment with dial indicators, which are the instruments of choice for
such procedures, the dial indicator is attached to one coupling half with the indicator dial button
resting on the outside diameter (OD) of the other coupling half (Figures 8251-2 and 8251-3). This
will give the offset misalignment between the two shafts. In order to find out the angular
misalignment, let the dial indicator button ride on the face of the other coupling half, instead of its
OD. A TIR of 0.005” or less is usually considered acceptable by most manufacturers. If the TIR is
excessive, it can be adjusted by loosening the pump or driver mounting bolts, adding or removing
shims accordingly and then re-tightening the bolts.
Figure 8251-2. Checking Offset Alignment with a Dial Indicator
Figure 8251-3. Checking Angular Alignment with a Dial Indicator
If a dial indicator is not available, a straight edge can be used to perform a reasonable alignment.
This method works better when the coupling has a rubber or a flexible drive element.
To check for offset misalignment, place the straight edge on the OD of the couplings. If they are
aligned there will not be any gaps under the straight edge. A max gap of 1/64” is allowed. This
procedure should be repeated for at least one more location on the circumference of the coupling
90 degrees from the first position.
To check for angular misalignment, the two coupling mating faces should not have a variation in
the gap, all around the faces. A maximum variation of 1/64” is permissible (Figures 8251-4 and
8251-5).
More information on coupling alignment can be found in the Hydraulic Institute’s Standard
ANSI/HI 1.4-2000.
Figure 8251-4. Checking Offset Alignment With Straight Edge
Figure 8251-5. Checking Angular Alignment with Straight Edge
PIPING
It is important that the piping should line up to the pump without it having to be drawn closer by
tightening the companion flange bolts. Also, the pump should not have to support the weight of
the piping. For this to happen, it is better to have the piping anchored independently but as close
to the pump as possible. It should also be pointed out that the piping should not be connected to
the pump until the grout has hardened and after the motor and pump mounting bolts have been
tightened.
Suction Piping
Suction piping can not only play a critical role in causing vibration and cavitation in centrifugal
pumps, but can also be responsible for causing packing and mechanical seal failures as well as
putting extreme loads on the bearings. It is therefore very important that the size of the suction
piping be at least the same or larger than the suction port of the pump.
Suction Piping (Cont’d)

To eliminate air pockets in the suction line, the suction line should slope gradually from the supply
tank or source.
It is recommended that the flow through the pump should not be controlled by adjusting a valve in
the suction line. However, this does not preclude the use of a suction line shutoff valve to be used
when the pump requires inspection or removal for maintenance purposes.
In order to have a relatively turbulence free flow into the pump, it is good practice to have a
straight length of pipe, at least twice its diameter in length e.g. a 6” suction pipe should have at
least one foot of straight pipe just before the pump.
In situations that might require a flexible hose in the suction line, a non-collapsing type flexible
hose is required, since it is not uncommon to have suction pressures which are below
atmospheric pressure. In such cases, the pump may be starved causing it to overheat.
Discharge Piping
As for the suction piping, a shutoff valve should be used in the discharge piping to facilitate pump
removal for maintenance purposes. A throttle valve can be used in the discharge line to operate
the pump at its design point, if the exact operating conditions are not known.
In case of a closed pressurized loop, a check valve is required between the pump and the throttle
valve to prevent the product from flowing back into the pump discharge. In the absence of the
check valve, such a circumstance can cause the impeller to come loose and cause damage to the
pump. It can also result in leakage beneath the shaft sleeve.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
Before starting the pump, it is good practice to always go through the following simple checks;
1. Check for impeller’s free rotation by turning the shaft manually.
2. Make sure that the suction line and the pump are full of fluid and that the suction valve is fully
open.
3. Slightly open the discharge valve and then open it fully once the pump is running.
PRELIMINARY LUBRICATION
Our standard pumps come pre lubricated with grease (oil lubrication is available as an option).
The operators / customers do not have to worry about lubricating the pump for the first year of
operation. At that time, the pump can be lubricated through the grease fittings on the outboard
and inboard bearing covers.
Usually, labyrinth seals are provided at both bearing ends, and they serve to keep the
temperature from rising, by also acting as vents. But in cases where the labyrinth seals are not
provided, it is recommended to keep the air vent clean.
MECHANICAL SEAL PUMPS

It is vital that these pumps are never started dry otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the
seal faces. The factory installs and adjusts the mechanical seals before shipping the pumps. The
mechanical seal models currently being provided with the DE-CP 250 pump do not require
external flush.
Pumps with mechanical seals come with three rings of backup packing which should be kept
completely loose until a seal failure occurs. Only then should they be tightened down to minimize
leakage.
PACKED PUMPS
When starting packed pumps, the packing should be loose and the packing gland nuts should
only be hand tight. Once the pump starts running, slowly tighten the packing down. Make sure
that there is some leakage through the packing, otherwise it will overheat and fail.
If outside flushing is required, the flush lines should be connected and checked for flow through
them before starting the pump.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
Before running the pump it is important to learn the direction of rotation. This is mandatory since
not all Derrick pumps are equipped with the anti-rotation safety device, and starting the pump in
the reverse direction can unscrew its impeller and thereby cause damage to the pump and the
seal. The direction of rotation can be checked in two ways:
 The motor can be uncoupled from the pump and then started to check its direction of rotation.
 An operator can start and immediately shut off (bump start) the coupled motor and pump
assembly while an assistant watches the shaft rotation.
PUMP PRIMING
To prevent damage to the mechanical seals or packing, there must be liquid in the suction line
and the casing, before the pump is started. Fill the suction line with the liquid and vent out any air
that might be present in the line. The discharge valve should be barely open when the pump is
started and only after the flow and pressure have stabilized that it should be adjusted to the
required flow conditions. If the pressure fails to build, close the discharge valve and then reopen it
to build discharge pressure. If flow difficulties continue, it may be an indication of improper
installation or pump selection (refer to Suction Piping in Installation).
Operators must not run the pump with the suction valve closed under any circumstances, as it will
immediately overheat the pump and cause major damage to various components.
Also, running the pump with the discharge valve closed should be allowed only for short durations
as the energy being imparted to the pumped product by the impeller, will raise the temperature. If
for some reason there is a need to keep the discharge valve closed for an extended length of
time, then it is recommended to run a small (0.25”or 0.50”) line, starting between the pump and
the discharge valve and going back to the fluid supply tank.
OPERATING CONDITION ENVELOPE

This section only applies to pumps which do not have any external insulation and are exposed to
the room temperature.
The maximum safe working pressure for cast iron is 175 psig at 150°F (65°C) or 150 psig at
250°F (121°C). The conditions in between can be accordingly calculated. Whenever a high-
temperature—150°F (65°C) plus fluid is being pumped, cooling water should be passed not only
through the lantern ring but also over the exposed shaft, so as to dissipate the heat being
generated at the labyrinth seal or lip seal and the bearings.
DOCUMENTATION
It is always helpful to maintain a documentation history of the pump as it can improve Derrick’s
customer service response time. To assist in this effort, an identification plate is installed on the
pump pedestal. This plate contains information to help service personnel identify the pump
quickly. In addition, however, it would be helpful to keep a record of the following information:
1. Motor horsepower
2. Operating frequency
3. Maintenance records and pertinent information on any replacement parts
LUBRICATION
Your pump was lubricated with grease when it is shipped from the factory and should be
lubricated every six months after the first year of service. The recommended grease is Lubri Plate
1200-2. When using different types of grease, care should be taken to use only those types of
grease which are well suited to operate with each other.
Oil-Lubricated Bearings
Oil lubrication for bearings is available as an option but the pumps must be mounted in a
horizontal position for oil lubricated pumps to work. This option is typically exercised when it is
desired to lower the bearing temperature and hence reduce its wear.
It is recommended to use 10W30 non-detergent motor oil. The oil can be filled through the hole
provided on the top of the pedestal. After removing the plug positioned directly above the drain
plug in the side of the pedestal, oil should be added from the top until it starts to flow out from the
side hole. This will indicate that the level of oil is correct. Adding more oil than recommended can
actually be harmful to the pump.
Grease-Lubricated Bearings
The outboard and inboard bearing covers are provided with a grease fitting (Figure 8251-1). It is
recommended to add five shots of grease through the grease port at least once every six months,
after the first year of service.
Figure 8251-6. Outboard and Inboard Bearing Covers With Grease Fitting
Grease-Lubricated Packing
For packed pumps, the stuffing box cover has a drilled hole for lubricating the packing rings. It is
fitted with a grease fitting. It is recommended to lubricate the packing rings at least once a day.
Derrick offers an optional self-lubricating mechanism which only needs to be filled from time to
time.
Grease should be added while turning the shaft. A good indication of the sufficient grease in the
packing is that it will start to come out around the packing gland. If the packing rings are worn
and/or the leakage is deemed excessive, a more viscous variety of grease like the ones used in
water pumps should be used rather than a general-purpose grease.
Water Lubrication for Packing
It is recommended that whenever drilling mud is being pumped, water should be fed to the
packing through the lantern ring, not only for lubrication purposes but also to prevent fluid being
pumped from coming through the packing rings. Such fluids can reduce the life of the packing as
well as cause abrasion of the shaft.
GENERAL OPERATING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Some important factors to check during pump operation are as follows:
1. The packing should not be over tightened, as it will become hard and brittle and will fail to
perform its function. But it is also important that rings not be too loose when a water flush
system is employed to lubricate the packing rings. Excessive looseness could result in flush
water seeping into the drilling mud and changing its density. This situation can also occur due
to a gap between the shaft and the packing, which results due to the flexing of the shaft about
its own axis during pump operation and thus causing deformation of the packing. This
predicament can be solved by either manually shutting off the water whenever the pump is not
running or installing a solenoid valve for the purpose.
2. Another factor that should be controlled to limit the amount of water from getting into the
drilling mud is the pressure of water for the flush system. Pressure as small as 5psi is usually
enough to provide the required lubrication for the packing rings. A pressure regulator should
be preferably incorporated into the water flush system for this purpose.
3. Bearing failure is the biggest contributor to pump maintenance costs. So it is imperative that
care be taken not to run the pump if the bearing condition is suspect. A quick check that can
be easily performed is to estimate the temperature of the pump housing by placing a hand on
it. Usually if the pump housing can be touched briefly, the temperature is not more than 150°
F (65° C). A higher temperature indicates that the bearings have started to fail, lubrication is
insufficient, or bearings are over lubricated. Replacing bearings at this stage is more cost
effective than waiting for a failure, which may require replacement of a number of other parts
as well.
4. One of the most common reasons for bearing failure is misalignment between the pump and
the motor. Hence it is very important to check alignment not only before starting the pump for
the first time but to also do it periodically.
5. Care should be taken not to increase the suction line velocity beyond 10ft/sec because that
can result in turbulence as well as cavitation. These conditions will adversely affect the
efficiency and the life of the pump components.
6. Perhaps the most important factor for predictable pump performance is the Available Net
Positive Suction Head (NPSHA). Simply put, it means that the height of the fluid in the supply
tank above the suction level of the pump should be enough to prevent the fluid from entering
the pump at a pressure which is below its vapor pressure at that temperature. Cavitation
occurs if such flow conditions cannot be avoided. Cavitation is the boiling of the fluid at the
operating temperature and the bubbles created during the boiling process implode and
damage the various pump and system components. Thus, to prolong the life of the pump,
always ensure that the pump has the recommended NPSHA.
7. In case of both indoor and outdoor storage of the pumps, the party responsible for storing the
pumps must ensure that the equipment is not exposed to temperature extremes, excessive
moisture or vibrations.
8. If the pumps are to be stored outdoors for an extended period of time, it is good practice to
properly seal off the suction and discharge openings, to prevent rust from attacking the pump
casing and impeller.
9. Please note the maximum operating RPM listed on the nameplate of each pump. For grease
lubricated pumps it is 2200 RPM while oil lubricated pumps can operate at speeds up to 3600
RPM. Operating a pump at higher than recommended speeds can cause premature failure of
the bearings which can result in catastrophic failures.
Note: A written record of all the storage procedure and actions should be maintained.
PUMP SKID PACKAGE OPERATING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Sometimes Derrick DE-CP pumps are provided as part of a skid package, which consists of a
motor, coupling, coupling guard, and an electric starter as an option. The following instructions
apply for such skid packages:
1. The lifting eye on the pump and/or the motor should not be used to lift the complete skid
package. These lifting eyes are provided for lifting that particular piece of equipment only.
2. If the skid is provided with an electric starter wired to the motor, it is the customer’s
responsibility to install a local lockout switch on or near the starter per the local and applicable
safety regulations.
3. It should be standard procedure to check the resistance of motor windings at the time of
placing a motor in storage and again when it is removed from storage. A difference of more
than 50 percent necessitates drying the windings before the pump is operated.
4. If the pump is stored for more than 36 months, after removing the pump and motor from
storage it is recommended to remove all old grease from the bearings and replenish with fresh
new grease.
5. It is the user’s responsibility to manually turn the shafts of the motor and the pump at least
once every two months while the pump is in storage.
6. In case of both indoor and outdoor storage of the pumps, the personnel responsible for storing
the pumps must ensure that the equipment is not exposed to temperature extremes,
excessive moisture, or vibration.
Note: A written record of all storage procedures and actions should be maintained.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Refer to Figure 8251-7 and Table 8251-1 for assistance with disassembly.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the packing gland halves (4) by loosening the gland bolts (11) and then moving the
packing gland bolts (11) to the side.
2. Remove the housing (15) after removing the housing nuts (16B).
3. Impeller (14) can now be removed as follows:
a. Restrain the shaft near the coupling end to prevent rotation, and then jam a block of wood
against the impeller vanes.
b. Strike the block of wood with a hammer to turn the impeller counterclockwise, when
looking at the pump from the suction end.
4. The stuffing box cover (13) does not require removal if the mechanical seal does not warrant
replacement. However, if replacement is required, remove the gland bolts (11) and push out
the stuffing box cover by striking on its rear side. The packing rings (10) may then easily be
removed from the stuffing box bore.
5. The next step is to slide off the shaft sleeve (12) using a wedge, if needed, and taking care not
to damage or drop the seal, especially if the seal does not need to be replaced. If the only
repair being done is the mechanical seal replacement, no further disassembly is required.
6. Remove the two bolts (28) securing the outboard bearing housing (3) to the pedestal (1).
7. The shaft/bearing assembly can then be removed from the pedestal (1).
8. Remove the outboard bearing housing cover (9).
9. The locknut and lockwasher (26) can be removed by bending the lockwasher tabs outward
from the locknut.
10. Remove the outboard bearing housing (3). The outboard bearings (8) can be removed from
the shaft (2) by striking the key end of the shaft against a wood surface. Similarly, the inboard
bearing (5) can be forced off the shaft by striking its inner race with a pipe of an appropriate
size.
Note: Avoid applying force against the outer race of the bearing.
11. The inboard bearing labyrinth seal (38) can then be removed.

INSPECTION
In general, whenever disassembling a pump, always clean the retaining rings, O-ring grooves,
surfaces of the gaskets, threads, and bearings.
Impeller - Inspect the impeller both the front and back vanes for excessive erosion and/or vane
breakage. Replace if any of these conditions exist.
Shaft and Shaft Sleeve - A maximum run out of 0.002” is allowed on the shaft, and the shaft
threads must be in a good condition. The bearing seating surfaces must be smooth and free of
scratches. Replace shaft if any of these conditions are present. Similarly, the surface of the
sleeve should be checked for scoring and replaced if necessary.
Mechanical Seal - To prevent excessive leakage, the condition of the seal faces, gaskets, and
shaft sealing members must be checked and part(s) replaced if necessary.
Ball Bearings - The bearings must rotate smoothly and quietly. Bearings should be replaced if
noisy when rotated. New bearings should not be unpacked until ready to perform installation.
Gaskets and O-Rings - It is always good practice to replace all the gaskets and O-rings before
reassembly of the pump.
ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 8251-7 for assistance with assembly procedure.
Shaft and Bearing Subassembly
Note: Installation of the bearings with a press is acceptable in lieu of heating the bearings.
1. Pack the inboard bearing (5) and both outboard bearings (8) with Chevron Duralith EP No. 2
or Lubriplate 1200-2 grease. Heat the inboard bearing and the two outboard bearings to
240°F (115°C) max.
2. After heating the inboard bearing (5), position it to be installed. Check to see if the marking
"5313" is on the bearing. Slide the bearing onto the impeller end of the shaft (2), and seat the
bearing.
3. Install the outboard bearing housing seal (24) onto the outboard bearing housing (3). Slide the
outboard bearing housing onto the shaft (2) from the coupling end of the shaft. The flanged
end of the outboard bearing housing should face the coupling end of the shaft.
4. After heating one of the outboard bearings (8), position it to be installed. Slide the bearing
onto the shaft (2) with the "7311" marking facing the coupling end of the shaft, and seat the
bearing.
5. After heating the other outboard bearing (8), orient it to be installed. Slip the bearing onto the
shaft (2) with the "7311" marking on this bearing, facing the “7311” marking on the previously
installed bearing and seat the bearing.
6. Check for proper outboard bearing (8) installation. The "7311" markings on both outboard
bearings should be facing each other. The balls and races on both bearings should be clearly
visible.
7. Install the bearing lockwasher (26A) onto the shaft (2) with the tabs toward the coupling end of
the shaft.
8. Install the bearing lockwasher and locknut (26B) onto the shaft (2) with the bevel toward the
bearing lockwasher. Tighten the bearing locknut to 250 ft-lb. Bend one tab of the bearing
lockwasher to engage one cutout of the bearing locknut.
Note: If the tab on the bearing lockwasher (26A) does not align with a slot directly, loosen the
bearing locknut until the closest tab/slot combination is aligned.
9. Lightly grease the outboard bearing (8) outside diameters. Shoulder the outboard bearing
housing (3) against the outboard bearings.
10. Install the outboard / inboard bearing grease fitting (30A) into the outboard bearing cover (9)
with the nipple facing the outside of the outboard bearing cover. Press the outboard bearing
labyrinth seal (37) with drain cutout down or rotated 180° from the 1/8" NPT hole in the
outboard bearing cover and with the drain on the inside of the outboard bearing cover.
Shaft and Bearing Subassembly (Cont’d)

11. Apply grease to the shaft (2). Assemble the outboard bearing cover (9) to the outboard
bearing housing (3). Install the outboard bearing cover bolts (27) and torque to 20 ft-lbs.
Caution: Do not over tighten the outboard bearing cover bolts (27). Proper installation will
produce a 0.015” to 0.030” gap between the outboard bearing housing (3) and the outboard
bearing cover (9).
Pedestal Subassembly
1. Install the outboard / inboard bearing grease fitting (30A) into the inboard bearing housing
cover (7).
2. Orient the inboard bearing labyrinth seal (38) with its drain cutout down and to the inside.
Press the seal into the inboard bearing cover (7).
3. Install the inboard bearing cover grease plug (30) into the inboard bearing cover, and place
the inboard bearing cover gasket (23) onto the inboard bearing cover.
4. Install the inboard bearing cover (7) into the pedestal (1) with the labyrinth seal drain side
down. Install the inboard bearing cover bolts (29) into the pedestal, leaving two threads of
each bolt exposed.
Note: Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
5. Lightly grease the outboard bearing housing bore and inboard bearing bores in the pedestal
(1). Install the shaft / bearing subassembly from the previous paragraph into the pedestal,
leaving 1/4" between the outboard bearing housing (3) flange and the pedestal.
6. Install two outboard bearing housing bolts (40) and nuts (41). Thread the outboard bearing
housing bolts and nuts into the outboard bearing housing (3) and hand tighten. Thread two
outboard bearing housing bolts through the outboard bearing housing and into the pedestal
(1), and hand tighten.
7. Torque the inboard bearing cover bolts (29) to 20 ft-lbs.
Note: After proper installation, a 0.015” to 0.030” gap will occur between the inboard bearing
cover (7) and the pedestal (1).
8. Install two oil plugs (32), the plug for the breather port (39), and the plastic plug (34A) into the
pedestal (1). Install the jack bolts into the pedestal (1).
Stuffing Box and Components

Mechanical Seal Configuration
1. Grease the 3-ring packing set (10). Install the 3-ring packing set and the shaft sleeve (12) into
the stuffing box cover (13) bore by installing each of the three rings with the splits 180 degrees
apart.
2. Install the gland assembly bolts (11) into the stuffing box cover (13) and torque to 20 ft-lbs.
Packing Ring Configuration

1. The packing rings (10) will usually be either Teflon® or King.
2. Make sure that the shaft sleeve OD and the stuffing box cover ID are clean, smooth, and free
of any burrs and scratches.
3. Grease should be applied to all the packing rings.
4. Insert three packing rings, taking care to align splits in the rings 180 degree apart and the split
on the first ring at the bottom. In case of King packing, install the rings so that their lips are
facing the suction side of the pump.
5. The lantern ring should be installed next, making sure that the split in the lantern ring is
oriented vertically.
6. The remaining two rings should now be installed with the split in the last ring at the bottom.
However, in case of King packing, the final King ring should be installed so that the lip is
facing the coupling end and its split is at the top. The last square ring of packing can then be
installed with the split facing downward.
7. The packing gland halves (4) should now be installed and pressed in slightly by tightening the
gland assembly bolts (11).
Note: Since packing can burn easily if excessively tight around the rotating element.
Consequently, after seating the packing, the gland assembly bolts (11) may be loosened and
then hand-tightened only. This is the recommended condition before starting the pump. Once
the pump has been running for a brief time, re-tighten the gland assembly bolts so that
leakage is only 10 to 15 drops per minute.
Fluid End Assembly

1. Slide shaft sleeve seal (19) onto the shaft (2) and seat.
2. Coat the stuffing box bore in the pedestal (1) with sealing compound. Install the stuffing box
cover (13) into the pedestal with the word 'Top' toward the lifting eye or up. Install the stuffing
box cover bolts (31) and fully tighten to 50 ft-lbs.
3. Apply a coat of grease to the shaft sleeve (12) to the inside of the rubber bellows and the
sealing face of the labyrinth seal (38).
4. Grease the impeller seal groove on the impeller (14). Place the impeller seal (18) into the
impeller groove. Screw the impeller onto the shaft (2) and torque to a minimum of 160 ft-lbs.
5. Install one gland set (4), snug the gland set against the 3-ring packing (10), and back off until
hand tight.
6. Set the clearance between the stuffing box cover (13) and the impeller (14) to 0.070" to 0.075”
by adjusting the outboard bearing housing bolts and nuts (28, 40, and 41). Tighten the
outboard bearing housing nuts.
Caution: Ensure that the impeller turns freely. Tighten the remaining two outboard bearing
bolts (28) to 20 ft-lbs.
Fluid End Assembly (Cont’d)

7. If required, install wear pad studs into the wear pad (36). Install wear pad (36) into the casing
(15).
Note: This step is not required for 3 X 2 housings.
8. Install the housing studs (16A) into housing (15). Install the housing gasket (17) onto the
stuffing box cover (13). Apply sealing compound to the two locating surfaces on the stuffing
box cover (13). Install the housing onto the stuffing box cover. Install housing stud nuts (16B)
onto the housing studs (16A), and torque evenly to 140 ft-lbs.
