2.3 Lifting
Pumps and motors often have integral
lifting lugs or eye bolts. These are intended for use in
only lifting the individual piece of equipment.
Do not use eye bolts or cast-in lifting
lugs to lift pump, motor and baseplate assemblies.
Care must be taken to lift components
or assemblies above the center of gravity to prevent
the unit from flipping. This is especially true with
In-Line pumps.
2.3.1 Lifting pump components
Casing Blind Cover [1220]
Insert an eye bolt in the tapped hole as provided.
Use either a sling or hook through the eye bolt.
2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave flange covers in place to
keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump
casing. The pump may be stored as above for up to
6 months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
2.4.1 Short term storage and packaging
Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump
and parts during shipment and for dry, indoor storage
for up to six months or less. The following is an
overview of our normal packaging:
All loose unmounted items are packaged in a
water proof plastic bag and placed under the
coupling guard
The internal surfaces of ferrous casings, covers,
flange faces, and the impeller surface are
sprayed with Cortec VCI-389, or equal
The pump must be stored in a covered, dry
location
2.4.2 Long term storage and packaging
Long term storage is defined as more than six
months, but less than 12 months. The procedure
Flowserve follows for long term storage of pumps is
given below. These procedures are in addition to the
short term procedure.
Each assembly is hermetically (heat) sealed from
the atmosphere by means of tack wrap sheeting
and rubber bushings (mounting holes)
Desiccant bags are placed inside the tack
wrapped packaging
This packaging will provide protection for up to
twelve months from humidity, salt laden air, dust
etc.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life

parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
