To install a Taco CI / SCI Close-Coupled End Suction Pump, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the pump is suitable for your application, such as heating, air conditioning, pressure boosting, cooling water transfer, or water supply.
2. Select the appropriate pump size and model based on your system requirements.
3. Prepare the installation location by ensuring it is clean, level, and free from any obstructions.
4. Connect the pump to the system piping using appropriate fittings and seals. The pump volute or casing should have a center-line discharge for positive air venting.
5. If desired, install a filter on the flush seal line taps to protect the seal from non-condensible particles present in the system.
6. Ensure that the impeller is properly balanced and fitted to the shaft with a key.
7. Close-couple the pump to a NEMA standard JM regreaseable motor.
8. Install a replaceable bronze (or stainless steel) shaft sleeve to cover the shaft and prevent the circulating fluid from contacting it.
9. If required, connect a seal flush line assembly to the pump for self-flushing or use a positive external seal flushing line.
10. Optionally, install a Purocell #900 replaceable cartridge filter with a shut-off isolation valve in the seal flushing line to remove particles down to five microns in size.
11. Ensure that the pump seal is EPT Ceramic rated for temperatures up to 250°F.
12. Connect the pump to the power supply according to the manufacturer's instructions.
13. Test the pump for proper operation and check for any leaks.
14. Regularly inspect and maintain the pump, including checking the seal, lubricating the motor, and cleaning the filter if installed.
