Installation WARNING: Couplings are aligned at the factory but
should be checked after installation and before start up.
Transportation
The pump must be transported as illustrated in Figure 1. Misalignment may occur due to handling and installation.
DO NOT lift the unit by the eye rings on the motor.
A protective guard needs to be installed to prevent
someone coming into contact with the coupling during
operation.

For liquids in excess of 250°F (120°C) and below -40°F

(-40°C), the pump has to be fitted with a support sleeve
on the side opposite the drive side to account for thermal
expansion.

Fit the pump with a pressure gauge on both suction and

discharge sides.

Install a throttle valve on the discharge side in order to

maintain the exact delivery head (see rating plate).
Figure 1

Performance of the side channel pump depends on the

clearance between each impeller and stage casing
(between
0.006 and 0.007 inches or 0.152–0.178 mm wide). Due to
the narrow clearances the pump is not suitable for
delivery of liquids containing solids with a grain size
larger than 100 mesh. In all cases a strainer must be
installed on the suction side, to prevent foreign matter
from damaging the impellers and casings. Place the
pump and driver evenly and free from stresses onto the
base plate. Leave flange covers in place until the piping
is connected. If the motor is not pre- installed with the
pump, the set must be aligned at installation. To do
this, make sure the two coupling halves

External By-Pass Valve
The Corken side channel pump is not equipped with an
internal relief valve, therefore it is essential that some
type of external by-pass or hydrostatic relief valve be
installed in the discharge side of the system as close to
the pump as possible. The by-pass valve, while acting as
a relief, also guards against excessive differential
pressures in the pumping system to protect the pump,
piping, and system components. Corken recommends
using our B166 by-pass valve, for flows up to 40 gpm
(151.4 L/min), and pressures up to 225 psid (15.5 bar d),
as it has the added benefit of a vapor eliminator that
prevents vapor lock upon start up. This is especially
helpful when pumping liquefied gases, such as propane
or ammonia. Consult Corken for more details.

Noise Considerations
A certain amount of noise during the operation of self-
priming centrifugal pumps cannot be avoided.
Nevertheless our patented pump has a very low noise
level owing to the speed of operation and its special
design features. Depending on the pump size, the noise
level of our pumps range between 60 and 80 dBA.
However, the reason for the noise is not always to be
found in the pump. Other possible sources of noise are
as follows:

The time required for suction to start depends on the

length of the suction line and will take several seconds at
first startup. If the suction line is fitted with a foot or non-
return valve, delivery will start immediately the second
time the unit is switched to the on position.

High Temperature Pumps for Temperatures of 250°F

(120°C) and More
If the pump is to be used for delivering hot liquid, make
sure the pump is not affected by thermal shock. Shocks
of this nature in a cold pump are only permissible without
additional protective measures for a temperature of 250°F
(120°C), maximum. After a thermal shock, check for free
rotation of the pump by manually turning the coupling.
Wait between one and two minutes until the pump has
heated up. The hot pump can now be switched on.

leakage, the mechanical seal cannot be re-tightened. In
this case we recommend dismantling the mechanical seal
and checking the rotating ring, the shaft, the o-ring and
the counter ring.

Single-Acting Mechanical Seals

This type of single mechanical seal offers the possibility
of internal flushing through a borehole in the casing (see
Figure 9). In addition, the pump can be fitted with an
external circulation pipe. This is fixed onto the shaft seal

serves also for venting of the shaft seal chamber. Figure 9

The pump is re-assembled in reverse order and in

accordance with the identification marks made on the
3. When mounting the impellers, slide these
along the shaft until they about on the stage
casing shrouds.

4. Tighten the tie bolts with a torque wrench.

5. After completing pump reassembly, it should

be possible to rotate the pump shaft easily by
hand.

6. The individual stage casing assemblies

have been staggered in relation to each
other to better absorb the radial forces of the
pump. It is, therefore, of great importance
to reassemble these stage casing
assemblies in their original, staggered,
position in relation to each other.

Disassembly and Assembly

Instructions for Magnetic Drive
Models
After the term of warranty has ended, the pump
should only be dismantled by adequately
trained personnel. Before dismantlng, mark the
individual casing components so they can be
reassembled in the correct order and
orientation in relation to each other. To repair
the pump, it must be disconnected from driver,
baseplate and piping and follow the steps listed
below.

1. Although pump stage casings and

impellers are interchangeable it is good
practice to consecutively number all stages
and draw a straight line down the length of
the pump. The stages are set in a specific
position (either 120° or 180° apart) and must
be reassembled in the same position (see
Appendix G).

2. It is best to work on the pump with it in the

vertical position. With the drive end facing
down, put the feet in a vise to assist in doing
this. The pump can be disassembled from
the suction or drive end.

3. See Appendix H for cautions on operating

safety and handling of the magnetic drive
coupling.
 Step 1 - Assemble the Bearing Unit
a. Start with the small drive shaft. Using a press install the
sealed ball bearing on the drive side first. (Note: the two ball
bearings are interchangeable.) Secure to shaft us- ing the Ref. Description Q

Appendix E—Troubleshooting Guide

In diagnosing pump and “system” troubles, the following information is essential:

1. Pump model and serial number 6. Pressure at pump’s discharge port

2. Horsepower and RPM of electric motor 7. Pressure in the storage tank
3. Product specific gravity 8. Pressure in the tank being filled
4. Product temperature 9. Size and length of the discharge pipe and hose
5. Pressure at pump’s suction port

Problem Cause What To Do

Low capacity Pump speed too Check the RPM of the electric motor.
low Wrong electric
motor
High differential pressure Remove the restrictions in the discharge
piping/ hose, or increase their sizes.
Vapor lock Regenerative turbine pumps “vapor- lock”
when reaching their maximum differential
pressure capability. See above for high
differential pressure.
By-Pass valve stuck openor set Readjust, repair or replace the by-pass valve
too low
Clogged strainer Clean strainer screen.
Worn impeller Replace the impeller.
Suction pipe too small or Indicated by pump’s inlet pressure dropping
restricted when the pump is started. Remove
restrictions and/or increase pipe size.
Pump runs but no flow Valve closed Check valves and make sure they are in the
open position.
Excess flow valve slugged or Stop pump until the excess flow valve opens.
closed If the problem continues, install a new or
larger capacity excess flow valve.
Wrong rotation Check the rotation of the electric motor and
change the rotation.
Suction pipe too small or Indicated by pump’s inlet pressure dropping
restricted when the pump is started. Remove
restrictions and/or increase pipe size.
Appendix E—Troubleshooting Guide (continued)
Problem Cause What To Do
Pump will not turn— Foreign matter in the pump Clean out the pump—inspect the strainer screen.
locked Bearing seized Replace the pump’s bearings—grease bearing
every three months, using a ball bearing
grease.
Moisture in the pump Thaw and break loose carefully. Check with
the product supplier if the product contains
water. Properly remove the moisture from the
product.
Pump will not build Poor suction conditions Check the storage tank excess flow valve and
pressure clean filter screen. The suction pipe might be
too small or restricted. Remove restrictions
and/or increase pipe size.
By-pass valve set too low Set the valve for higher pressure
(see valve’s instructions).
Too much impeller clearance Do a performance test on the pump.
Noise or vibration Cavitation from poor suction Make sure all valves are open, look for restrictions
the pump conditions in on the suction piping and clean the strainer
screen.
Coupling misaligned Align the coupling.
Coupling or coupling guard Tighten the coupling and its guard.

Worn bearings Replace if necessary—lubricate every three months.
Defective or wrong Confim the size of the by-pass valve required for
size by-pass valve your application. Inspect, repair or replace the
valve.
Loose anchor bolts Tighten all of the pump’s anchor bolts.
Electric motorgets High differential pressure Check the motor’s full load amperage. Adjust
hot or overload the by-pass valve setting to a lower setting.
protection kicks out See recommendations for low capacity due to
high differential pressure.
Low line voltage Check line voltage when in operation. Be sure
motor is wired for the proper voltage. Check the
electric motor’s nameplate.
Starter overload—heaters Check the motor load with an ammeter and
too small confim the heater size with the start’s
manufacturer.
Motor shorted Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled electric motors
(TEFC) and explosion proof electric motors are
subject to moisture condensation inside when
used intermittently. To eliminate moisture you
might allow the motor to operate at least once a
week until it gets sufficiently hot to evaporate the
moisture.
Leaks Failed O-rings or mechanical Inspect and replace the seals and O-rings, if needed.
