3.01 CONSTRUCTION:
Each centrifugal sewage pump shall be equal to the certified Series LE70 SERIES pumps as manufactured by Liberty Pumps, Bergen
NY. The castings shall be constructed of class 25 cast iron. The motor housing shall be oil filled to dissipate heat. Air filled motors shall not be
considered equal since they do not properly dissipate heat from the motor. All mating parts shall be machined and sealed with a Buna-N o-
ring. All fasteners exposed to the liquid shall be stainless steel. The motor shall be protected on the top side with sealed cord entry plate with
molded pins to conduct electricity eliminating the ability of water to enter internally through the cord. The motor shall be protected on the lower
side with a unitized ceramic/carbon seal with stainless steel housings and spring. The upper and lower bearing shall be capable of handling all
radial and thrust loads. The pump shall be furnished with stainless steel handle.
4.01 ELECTRICAL POWER CORD
The submersible pump shall be supplied with 10,25 or 35 feet of multiconductor power cord. It shall be cord type SJTW (1-PH) or SEOOW (3-
PH), capable of continued exposure to the pumped liquid. The power cord shall be sized for the rated full load amps of the pump in
accordance with the National Electric Code. The power cable shall not enter the motor housing directly but will conduct electricity to the motor
by means of a water tight compression fitting cord plate assembly, with molded pins to conduct electricity. This will eliminate the ability of water
to enter internally through the cord, by means of a damaged or wicking cord.
5.01 MOTORS
Single phase motors shall be oil filled, permanent split capacitor, class B insulated NEMA B design, rated for continuous duty. Three phase
motors shall be oil filled, class B insulated NEMA B design, rated for continuous duty. At maximum load the winding temperature shall not
exceed 130 degrees C unsubmerged. Since air filled motors are not capable of dissipating heat they shall not be considered equal. Single
phase pump motors shall have an integral thermal overload switch in the windings for protecting the motor. Three phase motors shall be used
with an appropriate controller with integral overload protection. The capacitor circuit shall be mounted internally in the pump on single phase
units.
6.01 BEARINGS AND SHAFT
Upper and lower ball bearings shall be required. The bearings shall be a single ball / race type bearing. Both bearings shall be permanently
lubricated by the oil, which fills the motor housing. The motor shaft shall be made of 300 or 400 series stainless steel and have a minimum
diameter of .625".
7.01 SEALS
The pump shall have a unitized carbon / ceramic seal with stainless steel housings and spring equal to Crane Type 6A. The motor plate /
housing interface shall be sealed with a Buna-N o-ring.
8.01 IMPELLER
The impeller shall be a class 25 iron, with pump out vanes on the back shroud to keep debris away from the seal area. It shall be threaded to
the motor shaft.
9.01 CONTROLS
All single phase units can be supplied with CSA and UL approved automatic wide angle tilt float switches. The switches shall be equipped with
piggy back style plug that allows the pump to be operated manually without the removal of the pump in the event that a switch becomes
inoperable. Manual Pumps are operable by means of a pump control panel.
