NOTE 

Clearances in Table I are for standard bronze or cast iron 
fitted pumps. For materials with a tendency to gall, such as 
stainless steel, increase clearances by .010 inch. 

NOTE 

For bronze impellers and rings, the rings are shrunk on the 
hub according to standard fit FN-4 of ANSI B4.1. 
Hardened impeller rings are installed according to ANSI 
B4.1 standard fit FN-1.  
 
c. Install new impeller rings (8) on the impeller (shrink or 
press depending on material). The impeller ring ID is 
factory-machined for proper fit. 

NOTE 

Standard pumps are furnished without impeller rings; the 
wear surface is an integral part of the impeller. Impeller 
wear rings maybe field-installed by machining. Refer to 
note following paragraph 2-2b for standard fits to be 
produced when making such repair. Replace impellers 
which cannot be salvaged by such repair. 
 
d. Replace worn shaft sleeves. 
 
e. Straighten or replace shafts having excessive run-out 
(eccentricity). See paragraph 2-1b. 
 
 
 
3-1. ROTATING ELEMENT. (See Figure 1) Reassemble 
as follows: 
a. Coat the shaft (6) lightly with oil. 
 
b. Place impeller key (32) in shaft keyway. 

 

c. Align impeller (2) on shaft and install with an arbor   
press or brass tubular sleeve and hammer. Guard against 
bending shaft. When assembled, the impeller vanes must 
rotate in the proper direction. (See Figure 3), and impeller 
hub must be centered on shaft journal. 

 

FIGURE 3. VANE POSITION FOR PROPER ROTATION 

 

d. Coat shaft sleeve O-rings (14B) with oil and install in 
shaft sleeves (14 & 14A). Install shaft sleeve set screws in 
shaft sleeves. Assemble shaft sleeves to the shaft and 
hand tighten against the impeller. Do not tighten shaft 
sleeve set screws. 
e. Install the shaft collars (80A). Do not tighten set screws 
at this time. 
f. Locate casing rings (7) on impeller. 
g. Lightly lubricate the O.D. of the shaft sleeves (14 & 
14A), and install the mechanical seal rotating elements 
(80) over the shaft sleeves. 
h. Lightly  lubricated  the O-rings  on the O.D. of the

mechanical seal stationary elements (65), and install 
stationary elements into glands (17). Place these 
assemblies over the shaft sleeves. 
 
i. Place inboard deflectors (40A) on shaft. 
 
j. If previously removed, install bearing housing seals  
(169) into housings (31 & 33). Insert bearings (16 & 18), 
into housings (31 & 33). 
 
k. Press housing-bearing-seal assemblies on shaft to seat 
bearings against shaft shoulders. 
 
l. Install bearing retaining ring (18A) in groove against the 
outboard bearing. 
m. Install gaskets (73B) on bearing covers. Use factory 
supplied parts or cut replacement gaskets from 1/16 inch 
No. 444 Vellumoid (SAE P3415A). 

EXCEPTION

: For all 

models using 3306 size outboard bearing, gasket 73B is 
1/32 thick. 
n. Attach inboard and outboard bearing covers (35, 37). In 
the assembled position, the grease drain tap must be 
located at bottom in a horizontal plane. 
o. Install outboard deflector (40B), and coupling key (46); 
assemble coupling half on the shaft and tighten the 
setscrews. 
3-2. PUMP. Complete the assembly of pump as follows: 
a. Use factory supplied casing gasket (73A) or use the 
upper casing (1B) as a template to cut a casing gasket 
(73A) from 1/64 inch Vellumoid (SAE P3313B). It is very 
important that specified material and thickness be used for 
casing gasket. Machined surfaces of both casings must be 
perfectly clean and free from burrs and nicks.
