The pump is protected against corrosion for the period of shipment and installation only.
If the pump is not to be installed within 3-4 month, then find a clean dry location for the
unit. For short term storage, the pump should be stored in an approximately level
position with no strains applied. Flange covers should be left in place. The rustban and
waxed cloth should be left in place over machined unpainted surfaces, and inspected
periodically for damage to the paint or protective coatings. Re-apply coatings as
necessary.
For longer term storage, contact CPC Pumps Service Department.
The following are general guidelines with regard to preparing the foundation and
grouting. For more detailed instructions, please refer to API 686 – Recommended
Practices for Machinery Installation and Installation Design.

We can not overemphasize the importance of safe working conditions and safe working
habits.
There are no short cuts.
Do it right!
Do it safe!
Do it smart!
Follow the safety guidelines of your plant.
The VP-B comes completely assembled. The motor and coupling have been aligned at
the factory, and the unit is ready to be put into service.
3.1 COUPLING AND MOTOR ALIGNMENT
The VP-B has been fitted with the spacer coupling of your choice. The detailed
instructions of maintenance for this coupling are found in the history docket. Alignment
of the shaft ends is necessary prior to start up. Final aligment should be checked after
the pump piped. It is best to check the runout on the locational spigot for the coupling
spacer, as well as the face runout of the hubs. Both should be less than 0.002” TIR. A
large face runout may be indicative a mis-machined hub, or potentially debris or burrs
preventing the faces from being parallel on any of the case, cover, bearing housing,
motor support or motor. Investigation would be required.
SPIGOT RUNOUT:
FACE RUNOUT:
Follow the instruction for driver lubrication provided in the history docket under
the driver section.
4 SECTION 3 - OPERATION
4.1 START-UP
After you have completed the checks outlined in section 2 of this manual, just take a
minute to double check the following 12 points one last time.
• seal tabs are removed and secured
• seal flush is connected
• vent and drain lines are installed
• all pipe plugs are tight
• the coupling spacer is properly connected
• the bearing lubrication is okay
• the coupling guards are installed
• the driver is properly connected
• the suction valve is open (fluid)
• the discharge system is ready
• the pump and seal has been properly vented
• everyone is standing well back
4.1.1 Motor rotation
After the unit has been properly installed, all connections have been pressure
tested, and the motor is connected to the proper electrical system, the motor
rotation can be checked.
The correct rotation is shown on the outline drawing.
Ensure that the motor shaft is free of all obstacles and then briefly apply power to
it. Observe the rotation of the motor shaft as it slows down and verify that it
corresponds to the direction as stated above. If the direction is reverse to the
required direction have a qualified person check the wiring of the motor. If the
direction is correct then proceed to the next step.
4.1.2 Starting
Start the driver and bring the unit up to speed as fast as possible. As soon as
the driver is brought up to speed and the pressure gauge shows full shut off
pressure, open the discharge valve slowly until you reach the design capacity
and discharge pressure.
4.1.3 Operating capacity
The pump can be operated momentarily at zero capacity and for short periods
near shut off. If the process requires that the pump be operated near shut off for
prolonged periods, a by-pass line from the pump discharge back to the source of
supply should be installed.
Since it is not possible to cover all variables of pump sizes and installations in
this manual, the CPC Pumps Engineering Department should be contacted for
specific minimum flow recommendations.
4.1.4 Post start-up checks
The first 60 minutes are the most critical, and it is advisable to pay extra attention
to the unit. It is best to record the following at 5 minute intervals:
• bearing housing temperature
at radial bearing
at thrust bearing
• vibration levels (radial and axial)
at pump bearings
at driver bearings
• fluid pressures
at suction
at discharge
• fluid temperature
Watch the operation of the pump closely until pressures, vibration and
temperature have stabilized. It is a good idea to keep the records you have
taken with the pump file for later reference.
4.2 OPERATION CHECKS
A centrifugal pump properly installed and started requires little attention. Depending on
your specific service, various monitoring devices may have been provided to sound
alarms should specific control points exceed pre-determined limits.
For a VP-B Inline Pump, only a daily walk by to check on seal leakage, overall vibration,
oil level and discharge pressure is enough.
4.3 SHUT-DOWN
To avoid water hammer, it is recommended that the discharge valve is closed prior to
stopping the pump driver.
CAUTION - IF THE UNIT IS EXPOSED TO FREEZING AFTER SHUT-DOWN, DRAIN
ALL WATER (OR OTHER LIQUIDS THAT MAY FREEZE) FROM THE PUMP CASE
AND HEAT EXCHANGERS.
5 SECTION 4 - LUBRICATION
5.1 GREASE LUBRICATION
The pump bearing housing is designed for flow-through grease lubrication and has been
lubricated at the factory.
Lubrication should be done as a part of a planned maintenance schedule. The
recommended lubrication should be used as a guide to establish this schedule.
Cleanliness is very important in lubrication. Any grease used to lubricate bearings must
be fresh and free from contamination. Similarly, care must be taken to properly clean
the grease inlet area with a suitable approved solvent to prevent contamination.

6.2.2 Remove the impeller. Do not force the parts. The impeller should be a
sliding fit on the shaft.
6.2.3 Lock cartridge seal (tabs) into place, loosen the seal drive set screws and
remove all remaining piping and seal gland nuts.
6.2.4 Remove bearing housing assembly from cover and seal gland. The best
way is to work vertically.
6.2.5 Secure bearing housing assembly and consult seal arrangement drawing
for special instruction in seal removal. If none are given, loosen seal
drive Set screws, remove cartridge seal assembly from shaft.
NOTE: In today's climate many different seal arrangements are provided on VP-
B pumps to suit your specific requirement the care and maintenance of
mechanical seals are not covered in this "Pump Manual" but are provided in the
seal section in the History Docket.
6.3 DISASSEMBLY OF BEARING HOUSING
6.3.1 Remove coupling hub.
6.3.2 Remove bearing end shields
6.3.3 Remove bearing covers
6.3.4 Pull the shaft straight up. Ensure that the inner race of the radial bearing
does not contact the bearing housing.
6.3.5 Remove bearings from shaft using approved procedures.
6.3.6 Remove radial outer race assembly from bearing housing.
NOTE: Once a thrust or radial bearing has been removed from the shaft, replace
the complete thrust or radial bearing assembly.
7.3 COVER
Cover wear rings are "tap fit" into cover -the wear ring
should be secured with 2 or 3 axial set-screws.
Throat Bushings are supplied either in a metallized
carbon or metal. The carbon bushings are press fit
into the cover with usually 0.010” - 0.013” diametric
interference. The metal throat bushings generally
have 0.001” diametric interference, and are typically
secured with axial set screws.

7.4.1 Install impeller wear rings by pre-heating to about 250 - 300 deg. F before
mounting them. Secure rings with radial spring pins.
7.4.2 After installing rings, mount the impeller on a mandrel and finish outside
diameter of wear rings to the proper diameter. (Depending on the size of
the pump, front and back wear rings are of a different size to help in
establishing axial hydraulic balance.)
Dynamic balance impeller / ring assembly to:
Umax = 4W/N
where:
Umax= residual unbalance, in ounce - inches
W = weight of assembly
N = nominal RPM of pump
7.5 BEARING HOUSING AND SHAFT
We can not over emphasize the importance of proper and careful handling of
bearings. The thrust bearing is an angular contact bearing installed in a back-to-
back arrangement the radial bearing is a cylindrical roller assembly installed in
the bearing housing and whose inner race is installed on the Shaft.
NOTE: Replace bearing only with the same make, type and grade as provided in
the original pump. Many bearings have the same mounting dimensions but only
the type and grade selected have the correct bearing capacity. The difference
can be as high as a 4O% reduction in load bearing capacity obtaining only 20%
of the original bearing life.
