Long Coupled Mounting Frame Assembly
On VF10 to VF50 LC pumps, a mounting frame adaptor kit is needed to convert the close-
coupled frame into a long coupled frame and yet maintain the current long coupled footprint.
The centre floor-mounting hole becomes redundant but can be used for additional fixing. The
assemblies are simple bolt on parts of which an example is shown in figure 7a / 7b below

Figure 7b shows the extension plate in place and the slots aligned to accept the base plate
mounting bolts.
• Lift the pump upright to stand on its frame using the lifting eye provided and the appropriate
lifting equipment
• The flange should be coated with a thin protective film of anticorrosion treatment, this does
not need to be removed before fitting the gasket. (if the pump has been cleaned during
preparation then a light film of grease or gasket sealant should be applied)
