Goulds Pumps ANSI FAMILY IOM (ATEX Compliant) - Manual (Page 24)

All equipment being installed must be
properly grounded to prevent unexpected
static electric discharge. This includes
ensuring that the PFA lined pumps (Model
3198) and the non-metallic liquid end pumps
(Model NM3196) are pumping fluids that are
conductive. If not, a static electric
discharge may occur when the pump is
drained and disassembled for maintenance
purposes.
Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type
(Fig. 8) and J type (Fig. 9). Both designs permit
movement for final bolt adjustment.
1. Inspect foundation for dust, dirt, oil, chips, water,
etc. and remove any contaminants. Do not use
oil-based cleaners as grout will not bond to it.
2. Prepare the foundation in accordance with the
grout manufacturer’s recommendations.
LEVEL BASEPLATE
CAST IRON/PERMABASE™/FAB. STEEL
1. Place two sets of wedges or shims on the
foundation, one set on each side of every
foundation bolt. The wedges should extend .75 in.
(20mm) to 1.50 in. (40mm) above foundation, to
allow for adequate grouting. This will provide
even support for the baseplate once it is grouted.
2. Remove water and/or debris from anchor bolt
holes/sleeves prior to grouting. If the sleeve type
bolts are being used, fill the sleeves with packing
or rags to prevent grout from entering.
3. Carefully lower baseplate onto foundation bolts.
4. Level baseplate to within .125 in. (3.2mm) over length
of the baseplate and to within .088 in. (1.5mm) over
the width of the base by adjusting wedges.
5. A level should be placed across the pump
mounting pads and the motor mounting pads.
6. Hand tighten the bolts.
