GROUT BASEPLATE
1. Clean areas of baseplate that will contact grout. Do
not use oil-based cleaners because grout will not
bond to it. Refer to grout manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Build dam around foundation. Thoroughly wet
foundation (Fig. 17).
3. Pour grout through grout hole in baseplate, up to
level of dam. Remove air bubbles from grout as it is
poured by puddling, using a vibrator, or pumping the
grout into place. Non-shrink grout is recommended.
4. Allow grout to set.
5. Fill remainder of baseplate with grout. Remove air
as before (Fig. 18).
6. Allow grout to set at least 48 hours.
7. Tighten foundation bolts.
ALIGNMENT CHECK
Re-check alignment before continuing, using methods
previously described.
PIPING
GENERAL
Guidelines for piping are given in the “Hydraulic Institute
Standards” available from: Hydraulic Institute, 9 Sylvan
Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054-3802 and must be reviewed
prior to pump installation.
s
! WARNING
Never draw piping into place by forcing at the
flanged connections of the pump. This may impose
dangerous strains on the unit and cause
misalignment between pump and driver. Pipe
strain will adversely effect the operation of the
pump resulting in physical injury and damage to
the equipment.
1. All piping must be supported independently of,
and line up naturally with, the pump flanges.
2. Piping runs should be as short as possible to
minimize friction losses.
3. DO NOT connect piping to pump until grout has
hardened and pump and driver hold-down bolts
have been tightened.
