CASING

The Series 4600F, drawing on over 100 years o pump

design expertise and leadership, is the state o the art

in Horizontal Split Case pumps. It meets or exceeds the

requirements onfpa

and testing laboratories involved infire protection such as ul, ulc & fm.

The amily o pumps capitalize on the Tilted Parting

concept to minimize turbulence at the eye o the impeller

by its straight laminar approach, thus maximizing

ef ciency. The amily was designed with commonality

o parts, low installation cost, and ease o maintenance

objectives.The pumps compact sizes are ideally suited or space

saving packages and retrofit applications.

mize npsh requirements and dimensions. Lower hal shall contain suction

and discharge nozzles. Suction and discharge connections shall be on the

same elevation. Top hal and rotating element shall be removable without

disturbing the piping. Casing shall be itted with replaceable bronze wear-

ing rings. Impeller shall be bronze, double suction, enclosed type ully bal-

anced and keyed to an alloy steel shat. Shat shall to be itted with replace-

able bronze sleeves. Shat shall be mounted in two dust tight deep grooves,

sealed, and permanently greased ball bearings.

Bearings shall be mounted in cartridge type housing so that they shall be

replaceable without opening pump casing. Bearings shall be easily remov-

able by rotating bearing removal nut. No special tools or bearing puller are

to be necessary.

Each stuffing box shall be fitted with a three piece bronze gland. Stuffing

box shall be fitted with a stuffing box extension to facilitate the packing

rings removal. Packing rings shall be removable without disturbing wetted

parts or the pump bearings. Water seal recirculation lines made from non-

corroding material shall be piped to pump volute.

2. electric motor

lever handle.

One (1) discharge gauge, 3" dial type, with " cock and lever handle.

One (1) air release valve.

One (1) casing pressure relie valve.

4. other accessories

Pump shall be itted with one (1) eccentric suction reducer and one (1)

concentric discharge increaser, as required (by mechanical contractor) to

it nfpa 20 recommended piping sizes.

One (1) outside test header shall be supplied with one (1) set o ____ x 2"

hose valves with caps and chains.

5. fire pump controller

service by [ulc], [ul] and/or [fm]. The controller shall be o the

combined manual and automatic stop, ___________starting method,

Model __________ as manuactured by_________. All equipment shall be

enclosed in an approved drip proo enclosure. The control equipment shall

be completely assembled, wired and tested at point o manuacture priorto shipment.

Circuit breaker shall have an interrupting capacity o ____ __ __ _kAmps or

a withstand rating o ____ ___ ___ __ kAmps rms.

Water pressure switch shall be suitable or _________ psi

working pressure.

5a. fire pump controller and automatic transfer

switch combination
