PUMP DESCRIPTION
The Model VRS pump is a rubber lined vertical cantilever
centrifugal pump. The wet end of the pump contains the
same casing halves, liners, and impeller as a similar size
Model SRL pump.
The impeller is threaded onto the shaft. It is axially
adjustable by means of jacking bolts in the thrust housing
to renew and maintain proper leakage path clearances.
The heavy duty bearing frame is made of cast iron and
contains a deep groove ball bearing on the inboard side and
an angular contact ball bearing on the outboard side. All
bearings are grease lubricated through fittings on the
bearing frame. The direction of rotation is clockwise when
viewed from the power end to the wet end.
