MODEL HVGT & HVGTB IN-LINE CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
MODEL HVGT & HVGTB
The Thrush In-Line Centrifugal Pump has been carefully assembled and factory tested to provide
years of trouble-free service. In order to assure the service intended, the following information is
provided to enable proper installation, operation and maintenance of the HVGT / HVGTB pump. The
Thrush HVGT/HVGTB pump uses standard GTB replacement parts for easy parts replacement. The
motor and bearing assembly have sealed ball bearings and never have to be oiled or greased. The
motor is also resilient mounted for reliable quiet operation. The pump comes with the standard Type
21 seal, stainless steel shaft and external water slinger for added bearing assembly life in case of seal
failure.
The pumps should be located as close to the liquid source as possible so that the suction line can be
short an direct. It should be located in a clean, open area, where it is easily accessible for inspection,
lubrication and repair. Pumps installed in dark, dirty areas or in cramped locations are often neglected
which can result in premature failure of both the pump and the drive.
Adequate provisions should be made for electrical wiring to the pump motor. A switch and overload
protection should be installed near the pump. The flexible electrical conduit should be used in
connecting motor wiring.
