Pressure Operated Transfer Pump Package
Pressure Operated Transfer Pump
The Pressure Operated Pumps System (POPS and POPS, Jr.
and Pump Station Assemblies) are designed as complete as-
semblies for the pumping of various liquids without the use of
electricity. They can be used to return high temperature con-
densate back to receivers and boiler rooms to save and con-
serve energy. This can result in significant savings and is highly
practical in environments where electricity is impractical.

General
Bestobell Steam Pressure Operated Pumps (POPS) are designed
to move condensate without the use of electricity and return con-
densate at temperatures above the 210° F limit of conventional
electric pumps. It is not the intent of these instructions to give
complete design procedures for a heating system, but only to guard
against some of the common misapplications. These instructions
are general in nature a and are for standard cataloged units. Non-
standard units may vary in some respects from these instructions.
To assure satisfactory operation and to avoid costly damage to the
units, the following procedures should be observed.
Installation
A. Receiving Inspection — When the unit is delivered, an im-
mediate visual inspection of the unit and its accessories
should be made in the presence of the carrier’s representa-
tive. If there is any evidence of rough handling of damage, a
notation should be made on the delivery receipt. Shipping
damages are the responsibility of the carrier, and it is the
obligation of the customer to file a claim. If requested,
Bestobell Steam will assist in the filing of the claim.
B. Uncrating — When uncrating the pump be sure that all tem-
porary plugs remain in their tapping until you are ready to
connect the pump to the system, and all instructional tags
are attached.
C. Rigging — Each unit has been carefully tested and inspected
at the factory. It is very important that the installers, movers
and riggers use extreme care in handling the unit. Chains,
cables or other moving equipment should be placed to avoid
damage to any part of the unit.
D. Foundation — There are no foundation requirements for the
POPS and POPS Jr. pumps. Be sure that the unit is level for
proper operation.
E. Optional Equipment — Cycle Counter, Steel Check Valves,
Simplex Valves, Simplex Pump Packages and Duplex Pump
Packages are available as optional equipment. Special
application information can be obtained by contacting your
local Bestobell Steam Distributor or Bestobell Steam directly.
F. Piping Connections — All piping should be tight and prop-
erly supported by hangers, not by connections.
