MAINTENANCE ON PUMPS

PREPARATION FOR DISASSEMBLY

• LOCK OUT POWER SUPPLY TO THE CIRCULATING PUMP MOTOR

• CLOSE ISOLATING VALVES IN THE SUCTION AND DISCHARGE LINES

• GIVE THE PUMP TIME TO COOL

• DISCONNECT THE SHAFT COUPLING ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS

• REMOVE THE MOTOR FROM THE BASEPLATE ( NOT NECESSARY IF A SPLIT

COUPLING IS USED)

• PREPARE TO CATCH THE HEAT TRANSFER OIL TRAPPED INSIDE THE PUMP AND
IN THE PIPING BETWEEN THE CLOSED VALVES

• REMOVE THE FOUNDATION BOLTS IN THE SUPPORT FOOT AT THE REAR OF THE
PULL OUT ASSEMBLY

• BE PREPARED TO MARK THE POSITION OF ALL ITEMS WITH A MARKER PRIOR

TO DISASSEMBLY OF ALL PARTS, TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR REASSEMBLY

MARKING PARTS WILL MAKE

REASSEMBLY EASIER AND
ASSURE PROPER ALIGNMENT !

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND A GOOD PRACTICE TO MARK ALL

PARTS WHEN DISASSEMBLING SO THAT REASSEMBLING IS MADE MUCH
EASIER AND DONE CORRECTLY.

THE UNIT PART DESCRIPTION IS IDENTIFIED BY THE TAG LOCATED ON

THE TOP OF THE BEARING BRACKET. MODEL NO., SERIAL NO., AND IMPELLER
SIZE ARE DESCRIBED. THE MODEL NO. IS BROKEN DOWN IN THE MANUAL

STEP 1
REMOVE REAR PULLOUT ASSEMBLY FROM THE
VOLUTE CASING

USING A 18MM WRENCH REMOVE THE SIX NUTS AND WASHERS THAT
BOLT UP THE TWO ITEMS. A PRY BAR MAY NEED TO BE USED BUT IN MOST
CASES SHOULD PULL APART WITHOUT A LOT OF FORCE.

STEP 2
REMOVE THE IMPELLER

REMOVE THE IMPELLER NUT AND TAB LOCK LOCKWASHER WITH A 24MM
WRENCH. REMOVE THE IMPELLER WITH A SET OF JAW PULLERS TO ASSURE
THAT NO DAMAGE IS DONE.

STEP 3
REMOVE CASING COVER AND SHAFT HOUSING

SEPARATE THE VOLUTE CASE COVER AND THE SHAFT HOUSING FROM THE
BEARING BRACKET BY REMOVING THE 4 SECURING BOLTS WITH A 17MM WRENCH.
THE “O” RING THAT SEALS THE SHAFT HOUSING MAY REQUIRE SOME LEVERING
AND LIGHT TAPPING.

STEP 4
DISMOUNT THE SHAFT HOUSING

SEPARATE THE SHAFT HOUSING FROM THE VOLUTE CASE COVER BY RE-
MOVING THE 4 ALLEN CAP SCREWS WITH A 5MM ALLEN WRENCH.

STEP 5
REPLACE LIP SEAL RINGS

PREPARATION
• 6 SIHI LIP SEALS
• OIL SEAL PICKS
• SIHI SEAL GUAGE
• SCREWDRIVER OR SMALL
CHISEL
• LIGHTWEIGHT HAMMER
• SEAL INSTALLATION TOOL

SEAL REMOVAL
• REMOVE THE METAL ENCAPSULATED
LIP SEALS BY INSERTING A SMALL
SCREWDRIVER BETWEEN THE SEAL
AND SHAFT HOUSING
• THE SEAL RING MUST BE DEFORMED
BY A TWISTING ACTION TO FACILI-
TATE REMOVAL
• A SMALL CHISEL CAN SOMETIMES
AID TO DEFORM THE RING SEALS
• SEAL PICKS CAN ALSO AID IN THE
REMOVAL OF THE SEAL RINGS

NEW LIP SEAL INSTALLATION

• CHECK SHAFT SURFACE FOR WEAR
UNDER SEAL RINGS
• TRACKS ON THE SHAFT ARE NORMAL
• THE SHAFT CAN BE USED A SECOND
TIME BY SHIFTING THE POSITION OF
THE SEALS
• FIRST 5 SEAL ELEMENTS FACE THE
CASING; THE LAST FACES THE BEAR-
ING
• USE A SIHI RADIAL RING GUAGE FOR
CORRECT SEAL DEPTH
• USE A SEAL INSTALLTION TOOL TO
DRIVE THEM EQUALLY TO THE COR-
RECT DEPTH
• USE A HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE
TO FILL THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE
SEALS

STEP 6
REMOVE THE SHAFT WITH BALL BEARING

REMOVE THE BEARING COVER USING A 10MM WRENCH. PUSH THE SHAFT
WITH THE BALL BEARING FROM THE BEARING BRACKET FROM THE PUMP END.

REMOVING BEARING
• REMOVE BEARING RETAINING CIR-
CLIP FROM THE SHAFT WITH SNAP
RING PLIERS.
• PULL BEARING AND SPACER FROM
SHAFT ( BEARING MUST BE WITH-
DRAWN FROM THE PUMP END OF
THE SHAFT
• IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A NEW
BEARING IS USED WHEN EVER THE
BEARING IS COMPLETELY REMOVED
• HEATING INNER RACE OF BEARING
WILL ASSIST REMOVAL

MAINTENANCE CHECKS PRIOR TO REASSMBLY

RING SEAL SURFACE
• THE SURFACE ON THE IMPELLER, COVER, AND
VOLUTE CASING MUST BE CHECKED
• MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE IMPELLER AND THE COVER OF THE VOLUTE
CASING SHOULD BE 0.012” TO 0.020”
• CHECK THIS TOLERANCE AT FOUR POINTS
AROUND THE SEAL DIAMETERS
• IF CLEARANCE IS EXCESSIVE THEN REPLACE-
MENT WEAR RINGS, NEW IMPELLERS AND / OR
NEW CASING MUST BE FITTED AS APPLICABLE

Page 8
SIHI Thermal Fluid Circulating Pump

SHAFT SURFACE
• CHECK SHAFT SURFACE UNDER SEAL
RINGS FOR WEAR
• THERE SHOULD BE NORMAL WEAR UNDER
THE TRACKS OF THE SEALS, BUT BY SHIFT-
ING THE POSITION OF THE RINGS IT IS POS-
SIBLE TO GET A SECOND LIFE OUT OF THE
SHAFT
• USE THE SIHI RADIAL SEAL RING GUAGE TO
POSITION THE RINGS CORRECTLY ON A
USED SHAFT

CARBON SLEEVE BEARING

• CHECK SHAFT SLEEVE AND BEARING
BUSHING FOR VISUAL WEAR
• IF POSSIBLE CHECK THE CONCENTRICITY
OF THE SLEEVE AND THE BUSHING TO THE
CENTER DIAMETER OF THE COVER
• MAXIMUM RUN-OUT SHOULD BE 0.002”
• IF NECESSARY TO REPLACE, PRESS THE
BUSHING AND THE SLEEVE FROM THE
COVER
• REPLACE THE NEW SLEEVE AND BUSHING
BY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE METAL
SLEEVE ONLY

IMPORTANT CHECKS AND NOTES

• REPLACE THE COVER GASKET AND SHAFT HOUSING GASKET IN
ALL CASES
• CHECK “O” RING FOR FLAT SPOTTING, NICKS, CUTS, AND MATE-
RIAL DEGRADATION AND ABRASION
• NEVER REUSE ANY RADIAL LIP SEAL RINGS THAT HAVE BEEN RE-
MOVED

REASSEMBLY
STEP 1
SLIDE THE SPACER AGAINST THE SHAFT SHOULDER AND INSTALL ( FROM
THE PUMP END ) NEW OR CLEANED BEARING OVER SHAFT FIRMLY AGAINST
SPACER, HEATING THE BEARING FIRST FOR EASY MOUNTING. INSTALL THE
BEARING CIRCLIP WITH A PAIR OF SNAP RING PLIERS.
STEP 2
INSTALL THE BEARING LIP SEAL IN THE BEARING BRACKET ( ENSURE THE
SEAL LIP FACES AWAY FROM THE BEARING ), THEN PRESS THE BEARING
AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY INTO THE BEARING BRACKET. LIGHTLY PACK THE
PRECLEANED BEARING WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE. CLOSE THE
BEARING CAVITY WITH THE COVER AND BOLTS USING A 10MM WRENCH.

ATTENTION
IF POSSIBLE CLAMP SHAFT WITH THE BEARING BRACKET INSTALLED (PUMP END
UP) IN A SOFT JAWED VICE

STEP 3
ENSURE THAT THE SEALING FACE OF THE SHAFT HOUSING AND THE SUR-
FACE COVER ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF NICKS AND SCRATCHES. ENSURE
THAT THE COVER HAS SLEEVE AND BUSHING INSTALLED AND CONCENTRIC.
STEP 4
INSTALL OR CHECK INSTALLATION OF THE NEW LIP SEALS, AND NEW OR
CHECKED “O” RING IN THE SHAFT HOUSING.
STEP 5
PLACE A NEW GASKET IN THE SHAFT HOUSING, THEN MOUNT THE SHAFT
HOUSING COMPLETE WITH “O” RING AND LIP SEALS TO THE COVER WITH
ALLEN CAP SCREWS AND WASHERS USING 5MM ALLEN WRENCH.
STEP 6
SLIDE THE COVER AND SHAFT HOUSING OVER THE SHAFT CAREFULLY INTO
INTO PLACE INSIDE THE BEARING BRACKET. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE
THE “O” RING WHEN INSERTING.
STEP 7
SECURE THE COVER TO THE BEARING BRACKET WITH BOLTS USING A
17MM WRENCH.
STEP 8
INSTALL THE KEY, IMPELLER, AND LOCKWASHER. SECURE THE IMPELLER
NUT USING A 24MM WRENCH.
STEP 9
INSTALL A NEW GASKET TO THE SEALING FACE AND BOLT THE ASSEMBLY
TO THE VOLUTE CASING WITH BOLTS AND WASHERS USING AN 18MM
WRENCH.

BEFORE STARTING PUMP

LOOSEN THE VENT PLUG AND FILL THE CAVITY WITH THE HEAT
TRANSFER OIL THAT IS BEING USED; ROTATE THE SHAFT AND AL
LOW AIR TO ESCAPE. TIGHTEN THE VENT PLUG

ORDERING SPARE PARTS

1. HAVE THE PUMP MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER. THESE NUMBERS ARE
FOUND ON THE PUMP NAMEPLATE LOCATED ON THE BEARING
