Enclosing the Pump in the Shell (submersible pumps only)
The pump enclosure shell is designed to make
certain that all water entering the pump is rst
drawn through the separator. This requires
that the pump intake be properly shielded as
described below.
1. Remove the riser assembly from the shell by
removing the stainless steel set screws.
2. Attach the riser assembly to the pump’s
discharge.
3. Thread the pump’s electrical cord through the
opening in the rise plate. A rubber grommet is
provided to establish a good seal.
4. Slide the pump into the shell and secure riser
with the screws.
5. Gap between riser plate and shell should be
sealed with a waterproof plastic sealant, putty
or caulking compound to prevent water entry
at this point.
6. Attach apper valve before attaching riser to
column pipe.
7. Pump and shell assembly is now ready for
installation. A pair of lifting lugs is provided to
make hoisting and adding column pipe easy.
Shell assembly should be attached directly to
the separator unit (see diagram, page 3).
