INTRODUCTION

Thank You for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp pump.

Read this manual carefully to learn how to safely

install and operate your pump. Failure to do so

could result in personal injury or damage to the

pump.

Ultra V Series pumps are designed for handling liq

uids containing large entrained solids and slurries.

The basic material of construction for Ultra V Series

pumps is cast iron, with ductile iron impeller and

steel wearing parts.

This manual will alert personnel to known proce

dures which require special attention, to those

which could damage equipment, and to those

which could be dangerous to personnel. However,

this manual cannot possibly anticipate and provide

detailed precautions for every situation that might

occur during maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it

is the responsibility of the owner/maintenance per

sonnel to ensure that only safe, established main

tenance procedures are used, and that any proce

dures not addressed in this manual are performed

only after establishing that neither personal safety

nor pump integrity are compromised by such prac

tices.

For information or technical assistance on the

power source, contact the power source manufac

turer's local dealer or representative.

If there are any questions regarding the pump or

its application which are not covered in this man

ual or in other literature accompanying this unit,

please contact your Gorman‐Rupp distributor, or:

PAGE A - 1SAFETY

SAFETY - SECTION A

This information applies toUltra V Se

ries pumps. Gorman‐Rupp has no con

trol over or particular knowledge of the

power source which will be used. Refer

to the manual accompanying the power

source before attempting to begin

operation.

Because pump installations are seldom

identical, this manual cannot possibly

provide detailed instructions and pre

cautions for each specific application.

Therefore, it is the owner/installer's re

sponsibility to ensure that applications

not addressed in this manual are per

formed only after establishing that nei

ther operator safety nor pump integrity

are compromised by the installation.

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man

ual.

2. Disconnect or lock out the power

source to ensure that the pump will

remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Check the temperature before

opening any covers, plates, or

plugs.

5. Close the suction and discharge

valves.

6. Vent the pump slowly and cau

tiously.

7. Drain the pump.

This pump is designed to handle liquids

containing large entrained solids or

slurries. Do not attempt to pump vola

tile, corrosive, or flammable materials

which may damage the pump or endan

ger personnel as a result of pump fail

ure.

After the pump has been positioned,

make certain that the pump and all pip

ing connections are tight, properly sup

ported and secure before operation.

Do not operate the pump without the

guards in place over the rotating parts.

Exposed rotating parts can catch cloth

ing, fingers, or tools, causing severe in

jury to personnel.

Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,

pipe plugs, or fittings from an over

heated pump. Vapor pressure within the

pump can cause parts being disen

gaged to be ejected with great force. Al

low the pump to completely cool before

servicing.

Do not operate the pump against a

closed discharge valve for long periods

of time. If operated against a closed dis

charge valve, pump components will

deteriorate, and the liquid could come

to a boil, build pressure, and cause the

pump casing to rupture or explode.

Death or serious personal injury and

damage to the pump or components

ULTRA V SERIESOM-06014

PAGE A - 2 SAFETY

can occur if proper lifting procedures

are not observed. Make certain that

hoists, chains, slings or cables are in

good working condition and of suffi

cient capacity and that they are posi

tioned so that loads will be balanced

and the pump or components will not be

damaged when lifting. Suction and dis

charge hoses and piping must be re

moved from the pump before lifting. Lift

the pump or component only as high as

necessary and keep personnel away

from suspended objects.

Do not install a suction check valve in

the first stage of the VS Series pump

model. Installing a suction check valve

in the first stage of the VS Series pump

model can cause over‐pressurization of

the first stage pump casing, resulting in

possible explosion of the pump and se

rious injury or death to presonnel.

Do not attempt to disengage any part of

an overheated pump unit. Vapor pres

sure within the pump casing can eject

these parts with great force when they

are disengaged. Allow the pump to

completely cool before servicing it.

Pumps and related equipment must be in

stalled and operated according to all na

tional, local and industry standards.

PAGE B - 1INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION - SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this

section offers only general recommendations and

practices required to inspect, position, and ar

range the pump and piping.

Most of the information pertains to a standard stat

ic lift application where the pump is positioned

above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If installed in a flooded suction application where

the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,

some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

specific application. Since the pressure supplied

to the pump is critical to performance and safety,

be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of

the maximum permissible operating pressure as

shown on the pump performance curve.

For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp

distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.

Pump Dimensions

Consult the pump Specification Data Sheet or con

sult the factoryfor the approximate physical dimen

sions of your pump.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be

fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,

inspect the pump for damage which may have oc

curred during shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged

threads, and other obvious damage.

b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard

ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry

ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur

faces.

c. Carefully read all warnings and cautions con

tained in this manual or affixed to the pump,

and perform all duties indicated. Note the dir

ection of rotation indicated on the pump.

Check that the pump shaft rotates counter

clockwise when facing the impeller.

Only operate this pump in the direction in

dicated by the arrow on the pump body

and on the accompanying decal. Refer to

ROTATION in OPERATION, Section C.

d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary.

Refer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTEN

ANCE AND REPAIR section of this manual

and perform duties as instructed.

e. If the pump and power source have been

stored for more than 12 months, some of the

components or lubricants may have ex

ceeded their maximum shelf life. These must

be inspected or replaced to ensure maxim

um pump service.

If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if

anything appears to be abnormal, contact your

Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the factory to determ

ine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the

pump into service until appropriate action has

been taken.

POSITIONING PUMP

Lifting

Pump unit weights will vary depending on the

mounting and drive provided. Check the shipping

tag on the unit packaging for the actual weight, and

use lifting equipment with appropriate capacity.

Drain the pump and remove all customer‐installed

equipment such as suction and discharge hoses

or piping before attempting to lift existing, installed

units.

The pump assembly can be seriously

damaged if the cables or chains used to lift

OM-06014 ULTRA V SERIES

PAGE B - 2 INSTALLATION

and move the unit are improperly wrapped

around the pump.

Mounting

Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as

practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mount

ing is essential for proper operation.

The pump may have to be supported or shimmed

to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra

tion.

Clearance

It is recommended that 24 inches (609.6 mm) of

clearance be provided in front of the back cover to

permit removal of the cover and easy access to the

pump interior. A minimum clearance of 14 inches

(355.2 mm) must be maintained to permit removal

of the cover.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING

Pump performance is adversely effected by in

creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric

tion losses. See the performance curve and oper

ating range shown on Page E‐1 to be sure your

overall application allows pump to operate within

the safe operation range.

Materials

Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and

discharge lines; however, the materials must be

compatible with the liquid being pumped. If hose is

used in suction lines, it must be the rigid‐wall, rein

forced type to prevent collapse under suction. Us

ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom

mended.

Line Configuration

Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as

possible to minimize friction losses. Make minim

um use of elbows and fittings, which substantially

increase friction loss. If elbows are necessary, use

the long‐radius type to minimize friction loss.

Connections to Pump

Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex

actly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into

place by tightening the flange bolts and/or coup

lings.

Lines near the pump must be independently sup

ported to avoid strain on the pump which could

cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life,

and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose‐type

lines are used, they should have adequate support

to secure them when filled with liquid and under

pressure.

Gauges

Most pumps are drilled and tapped for installing

discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges. If

these gauges are desired for pumps that are not

tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge

lines not less than 18 inches (457,2 mm) from the

suction and discharge ports and install the lines.

Installation closer to the pump may result in erratic

readings.

SUCTION LINES

To avoid air pockets which could affect pump prim

ing, the suction line must be as short and direct as

possible. When operation involves a suction lift, the

line must always slope upward to the pump from

the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line

slopes down to the pump at any point along the

suction run, air pockets will be created.

Fittings

Suction lines should be the same size as the pump

inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they

should be the eccentric type, and should be in

stalled with the flat part of the reducers uppermost

to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor

mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,

install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock

ets.

Strainers

If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain

to use it; any spherical solids which pass through a

OM-06014ULTRA V SERIES

PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION

strainer furnished with the pump will also pass

through the pump itself.

If a strainer is not furnished with the pump, but is

installed by the pump user, make certain that the

total area of the openings in the strainer is at least

three or four times the cross section of the suction

line, and that the openings will not permit passage

of solids larger than the solids handling capability

of the pump.

This pump is designed to handle up to 3 inch (76,2

mm) diameter spherical solids.

Sealing

Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head,

and capacity, especially when operating with a

high suction lift, all connections in the suction line

should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an air

tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer's re

commendations when selecting and applying the

pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible

with the liquid being pumped.

Suction Lines In Sumps

If a single suction line is installed in a sump, it

should be positioned away from the wall of the

sump at a distance equal to 1 1/2 times the diamet

er of the suction line.

If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the

sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc

tion inlet because the inflow will carry air down into

the sump, and air entering the suction line will re

duce pump efficiency.

If it is necessary to position inflow close to the suc

tion inlet, install a baffle between the inflow and the

suction inlet at a distance 1 1/2 times the diameter

of the suction pipe. The baffle will allow entrained

air to escape from the liquid before it is drawn into

the suction inlet.

If two suction lines are installed in a single sump,

the flow paths may interact, reducing the efficiency

of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the

suction inlets so that they are separated by a dis

tance equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the

suction pipe.

Suction Line Positioning

The depth of submergence of the suction line is

critical to efficient pump operation. Figure 1 shows

recommended minimum submergence vs. velo

city.

NOTE

The pipe submergence required may be reduced

by installing a standard pipe increaser fitting at the

end of the suction line. The larger opening size will

reduce the inlet velocity. Calculate the required

submergence using the following formula based

on the increased opening size (area or diameter).
