System and Installation Inspections and Checklist
__________ 1)
Verify that the pump foundation (head, barrel, sub-base, etc.) is level to within .005 inch per foot of diameter.
Note that on API units the level requirement is .001 inch per foot of diameter.
__________ 2)
Inspect the foundation to determine whether it appears adequately designed to handle the weight and
oading of the pump. Note that A-C Fire Pump Systems does not design foundations and is not responsible
for foundation inadequacies.
__________ 3)
Insure that the head, or barrel, or sub-base, etc., is properly grouted using high quality non-shrink grout.
This can be verified by "sounding" the foundation.
__________ 4)
Insure that all the anchor bolts are tight.
__________ 5)
Insure that the discharge piping is properly supported and that there is no excess nozzle loading on the
discharge flange. Verify this by loosening and then checking freedom on the flange bolting.
__________ 6)
On units with flexible or expansion joints attached to pump discharge, insure that tie rods are in place and
properly installed.
__________ 7)
Insure that all valves operate freely and are properly installed for the direction of flow. Also insure that they
have the proper pressure rating.
__________ 8)
In conjunction with your contact or customer’s rep, verify where the pumpage is going and that the system
is properly "lined up" for the test.
__________ 9)
Verify that the pumpage supply will be continuously available for the duration of the test. It is very important
that the initial run is at least ten minutes in duration in order to completely ‘flush’ the pump.
__________10)
If possible, verify the cleanliness of the pumpage and piping. If on hand during the installation, insure that
the sump, barrel, and piping is clean.
