4.5 PUMP SET UP / MOUNTING
4.5.1 CABLE AND CHAIN SUSPESION
Pumps of SERIES TBM are fitted with integral lifting lugs sized to accommodate the
dead weight of the pump assembly. Verify the weight of your specific pump before
making lifting cable or chain selection.
See relevant general arrangement drawings (Section 8.0) or bills of materials for
weight information.
4.5.2 OPTIONAL LIFTING / SUSPENSION BAIL MOUNTING
Optional lifting bails are available for all pumps of SERIES TBM for applications
where a single lifting cable or chain is preferred.
4.5.3 FLOOR MOUNTING
When Pumps are operated resting on the pump stand on the sump floor, they must
rest on a horizontal surface that prevents the pump from tipping over and burying
itself. A chain or cable with limited slack can be utilized to prevent this.
4.6 PIPING
4.6.1 DISCHARGE HOSE / DISCHARGE PIPING
Flexible, heavy duty, non-collapsible discharge hose is preferred.
All rigid piping must be independently supported. Pump casing should never bear
the weight of the piping. Non-collapsible, expansion type joints are recommended on
the discharge side of the pump for rigid pipe installations.
