SUBMERSIBLE TURBINE PUMP SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL

• The entire pumping assembly shall have UL listing and shall meet all requirements of UL Standard UL 79.
• The pump discharge head and manifold assembly shall be manufactured from ASTM A48 Class 30 gray iron.
• The pump shall be available in 1/3, 3/4 and 1-1/2 horsepower sizes and shall be manufactured to the proper length as determined by the tank diameter, type of tank, and bury depth.
• An optional variable length telescopic feature shall be provided such that the length of the pump can be field adjusted at the job site to fit the specific pump length required. This variable length option shall be available in three variable length ranges, referred to as VL1,VL2 & VL3, where the VL2 model will fit 94% of all known installations.
• The pump motor shall have a thermal overcurrent overload protector with automatic reset.
• The pump motor assembly shall be clearly marked with pertinent information including Model, Horsepower, Voltage, Phase, and Manufacturer.
• Single phase pump motors shall be a permanent split phase capacitor, and shall incorporate a 15 mfd capacitor.
• An alcohol-gasoline (AG) model shall be available for any mixture of alcohol & gasoline.
• The pump shall be UL listed for this application, and designated "AG" in the model number and painted green in color.
• The pumping unit shall not incorporate any flexible diaphragms and all sealing shall be accomplished with )-rings or UL recognized gaskets.
• The pump shall have a removable intake screen with openings no greater than 3/32 inch.
• The pump shall be manufactured by FE Petro, Inc., McFarland, WI.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

• The pump shall have a two or three wire field connection depending on single or three phase models and an easy access ground wire terminal, and shall incorporate a wire seal plug which will accommodate these wires.
• The pump shall incorporate a port for line pressure testing that shall be sealed with a ¼ NPT pipe plug.
• The pump head shall be equipped with a manual pressure relief screw to manually drop line pressure to zero by venting line pressure into storage tank. Purpose of this function is to avoid fuel spraying into dispenser and pump containment sumps during any routine service requiring piping to be opened to atmosphere such as filter replacement or leak detector maintenance.
• The pump unit shall have a fully extractable head in order to permit removal of the pump motor assembly without disturbing the discharge piping or the electrical wiring.
• The product in the pipelines shall be held in place by a line check valve that shall have a minimum sealing force of 170 lbs when the pump is not running.
• The line check valve shall be independent of the removable head and shall be easily accessible.
• The removal of the extractable portion of the pump shall not disturb product in the pipelines downstream of the check valve.
• During the removal of the extractable portion of the pump, product contained in the discharge manifold of the pump shall drain automatically into the storage tank.
• The pump motor shall be interchangeable by horsepower with different manufacturer’s products.

OPERATION

• The pump shall have an air / vapor elimination systems that returns air or vapors to the underground storage tank through a tube discharging near the top if the pump motor assembly.
• The pump unit shall contain a built-in expansion relief valve that relieves pressure at or above pumping pressure but below 50 psi as standard. Other pressure relief settings as required by certain electronic line leak detection shall be available.
• The pump motor shall utilize the product being pumped for lubrication of the motor bearings and for cooling the stator, and this fluid shall discharge into the underground storage tank at the top of the motor.
• The pump shall have syphon capability built into the pump as standard.
