*If minimum maintained system pressure is not known, default is 40% of design head.
** The IVS 102 control is a low harmonic control with a built-in DC link reactor equivalent in performance to a 5% AC line reactor. This does not guarantee performance to any system wide harmonic specification or the costs to meet a system wide specification. If supplied with the system electrical details, Armstrong will run a computer simulation of the system wide harmonics. If system harmonic levels are exceeded, Armstrong can also recommend additional harmonic mitigation and the cost for such mitigation.

Safety instruction where non-compliance would affect safety risk.
Safety instruction relating to safe operation of the equipment. (attention) fig. 1 Noise levels.
1 .1 instructions for safe use
No installation of this equipment should take place unless this document has been studied and under-stood. Handling, transportation and installation of this equipment should only be undertaken by trained personnel with proper use of lifting equipment. See later diagrams for lift-ing advice. Refer to the pump nameplate for pump speed, pres-sure and temperature limitations. The limits stated must not be exceeded without written permission from Armstrong.
1 . 2 temper ature
Where under normal operating conditions the limit of
68°c/155°f (restricted zone) for normal touch, or 80°c/176°f
(unrestricted zone) for unintentional touch, may be experi-enced, steps should be taken to minimize contact or warn operators/users that normal operating conditions will be exceeded. In certain cases where the temperature of the pumped liquid exceeds the above stated temperature levels, pump casing temperatures may exceed 100°c/212°f and not withstanding pump insulation techniques appropriate mea-sures must be taken to minimize risk for operating personnel.

Pumps not immediately placed into service, or removed from service and stored, must be properly prepared to prevent excessive rusting. Pump port protection plates must not be removed until the pump is ready to connect to the piping.
Rotate the shaft periodically (at least monthly) to keep rotating element free and bearings fully functional.
For long term storage (longer than 3 months), the pump must be placed in a vertical position in a dry environment.
Internal rusting can be prevented by removing the plugs at the top and bottom of the casing and drain or air blow out all water to prevent rust buildup or the possibility of freezing. Be sure to reinstall the plugs when the unit is made operational. Rust-proofing or packing the casing with moisture absorbing mate-rial and covering the flanges is acceptable. When returning to service be sure to remove the drying agent from the pump.
1 .6 uncr ating
Armstrong Vertical In-Line pumps are thoroughly inspected before shipment to assure they meet with your order require-ments. After removing the pump from the crate, make sure the equipment is in good order and that all components are received as called for on the packing list. Any shortages or damage should be reported immediately. Use extreme care in handling the unit, placing slings and hooks carefully so that stress will not be imposed on the pump. Never place cable slings around the pump shaft. The eye bolts or lifting lugs on the motor are intended for lifting the motor only and not the complete unit.
1 .7 handling large vil units
One effective way of lifting a large Series 4300 unit from the shipment pallet following uncovering the unit is to place lifting hooks through the motor lifting rings or straps around the upper part of the motor and carefully lift sufficiently to stand the pump vertically. Lift only enough to remove the pallet then lower onto a flat surface. The pump and motor unit will free-stand on the casing ribs. Remove the coupling guard and place
(2) lifting straps through the pump/motor pedestal (one on each side of the motor shaft) and secure to the lifting device.
With the straps in place, using a spacer bar if necessary to pro-tect the motor fan cover, the whole assembly can now be lifted securely and placed in position in the piping.
Secure pallet and lift pump vertical using motor eye-bolts lift only to clear pallet then sit on the flat surface.

Remove coupling guard and place lifting straps on each side of coupling, use spacer bar if necessary to protect motor fan cover.
important:
Do not run the pump for any length of time under very low flow conditions or with the discharge valve closed. This could cause the water in the casing to reach super heated steam conditions, cause premature failure and cause serious and dramatic damage to the pump and surrounding area.
2.0 installation
2.1 location
In open systems, locate the unit as close as practical to the liquid being pumped, with a short, direct suction pipe. Ensure adequate space is left above and around the unit for operation, maintenance, service and inspection of parts.
In closed systems, where possible, the pumps should be in-stalled immediately downstream of the expansion tank/make-up connection. This is the point of zero pressure change and is necessary for effective pump operation. Do not install more than one expansion tank connection into any closed hydronic system.
Electric motor driven pumps should not be located in damp or dusty locations without special protection.
Airflow into the motor and/or motor fan should not be obstructed.
2. 2 installation
When installing Vertical In-Line pumps, an important consid-eration to accrue full added-value from the pump design is to ensure that the pump is pipe-mounted and free to ‘float’ with any movement, expansion and contraction of the piping. Should any Vertical In-Line pump use supports to the structure it is imperative that no pipe strain is imposed on the pump flanges.
Telltale pieces of equipment such as springs or ‘waffle’ style neoprene isolation pads that distort with pressure to indicate added piping weight, should be used under pump supports should the pump not be truly pipe mounted.
Various installation arrangements are detailed on Pages 6 and 7:
2.2.1 Vertical In-Line pumps may be installed directly in the system piping with no additional support. Pipe hangers are simply sized for the additional weight of the pumping unit. Many pumps are installed in this manner and are mounted at sufficient height to take zero floor space. (Fig. 2.1)
2.2.2 Piping, in many mechanical rooms, is hung close to the ceiling and larger pumps are mounted near ground level for ease of maintenance. Fig 2.2 illustrates such an arrangement with the piping supported at the ceiling and the vil unit installed with an Armstrong Suction Guide and triple function Flo-Trex valve.
Many very large vil pumps are installed in this manner.
2.2.3 Should additional space saving be required the discharge spool piece and Flo-Trex valve may be replaced by a long-radius el-bow and the Flo-Trex valve field converted to a straight-through valve and installed in the vertical discharge pipe. (Fig. 2.3)
2.2.4 Fig 2.4 illustrates a similar arrangement to Fig 2.2 with additional floor mounted pipe-stools isolated from the struc-ture by ‘waffle’ style neoprene isolation pads under the
Armstrong Suction Guide and Flo-Trex valve.
2.2.5 Floor mounted saddle supports (Fig. 2.5) are typical for condenser water pumps where the cooling tower base is near mechanical room elevation.
Commercial pumps Series 4300, 4360 and 4380
Vertical In–Line pump
2.2.6 Where required, additional floor support may be used as shown in Fig. 2.6. Note that the pump should not be rigidly attached to the column. Leave a small gap between pump and column or install a ‘waffle’ isolation pad under the pump. It is critical that piping be installed in such a manner that the pump does not become a pipe support.
2.2.7 Fig. 2.7 illustrates stanchion plates at the pump inlet and outlet ports that may be supplied for installation convenience.
Isolation pads must be used under the legs and monitored as pipe hangers are adjusted to ensure the pump flanges are not supporting the piping. Bolting to the floor or housekeeping pad is not recommended. If the stanchions are bolted down the bolts must be isolated from the stanchion or an inertia base and flexible pipe connectors should be used.
2.2.8 Fig. 2.8 illustrates installations with stanchion plates for seismi-cally active regions. Seismically rated isolation pads or snub-bers with bolts isolated from the stanchion plates are installed to restrain the pump during a seismic event. Pipe hangers carry the weight of the equipment as seismic components are designed only to restrain the equipment during a seismic event.
2.2.9 Close coupled in-line units (Series 4360 & 4380) up to 15 hp /
11 kW may be installed with the shaft horizontal. (Fig. 2.9) For horizontal mounting of large units or Series 4300 Split-Coupled style consult the factory. (Fig. 2.9)
2.2.10 Many Vertical In-Line pumps are piped successfully into grooved piping systems. In-line pumps are supported well by grooved piping however flange adapter locking devices or a welded flange at the pump should be used to prevent the possi-bility of pipe mounted pumps rotating in the piping. Armstrong offers grooved suction guides with cast-in outlet flanges and triple function Flo-Trex valves with inherent locking devices to prevent this possibility. (Fig. 2.10)
2.2.11 Do not support the unit by the motor eye bolts (Fig. 2.11) or by any other part of the motor.
2.2.12 Connecting the pump to a permanent rigid base (Fig. 2.12). is not recommended unless isolated from the piping by flexible connectors and the base isolated from the building structure on an inertia base. (Fig. 2.12 is generally acceptable when using plastic piping).
important:
All Series 4300 pumps contain a tapped hole in the motor bracket above the discharge flange (see Fig. 2.13) for draining the well. Pipe this drain hole to a floor drain to avoid overflow of the cavity caused by collecting chilled water condensate or from seal failure.
2.3 pump piping – gener al
Never connect a pump to piping, unless extra care is taken to measure and align the piping flanges well. Always start piping from pump.
Use as few bends as possible and preferably long radius elbows.
Do not use flexible connectors on the suction or discharge of a
Vertical In-Line pump, unless the pump is rigidly mounted to a foundation.
Ensure piping exerts no strain on pump as this could distort the casing causing breakage or early failure due to pump misalignment.
All conecting pipe flanges must be square to the pipework and parallel to the pump flanges.
Suction and discharge pipes may be increased or decreased at pump nozzle to suit pump capacity and particular conditions of installation. Use eccentric reducers on suction connection with flat side uppermost.
Layout the suction line with a continual rise towards the pump without high points, thus eliminating possibility of air pockets that may prevent the pump from operating effectively.
A strainer of three or four times the area of the suction pipe, installed in the suction line, will prevent the entrance of foreign materials into the pump. C/af" (5 mm) diameter perforations in the strainer is typical.
Commercial pumps Series 4300, 4360 and 4380
Vertical In–Line pumps
In open systems, test suction line for air leaks before starting;
this becomes essential with long suction line or static lift.
Install, at the pump suction, a straight pipe of a length equivalent to 4 or 6 times its diameter; this becomes essential when handling liquids above 120°f (49°c). Armstrong suction guides may be used in place of the straight pipe run and in-line strainer.
Install an isolation valve in both suction and discharge lines on flooded suction application; these valves are used primarily to isolate the pump for inspection or repair.
Install a non-slam non-return check valve in discharge line between pump and isolation valve to protect pump from excessive back pressure and to prevent water running back through the pump in case of driver failure on open systems.
An Armstrong Flo-Trex valve may be used in place of non-return check valve and isolation valve on pump discharge.
caution:
A Only the discharge valve is to be used to throttle pump flow, not the suction valve. Care must be taken in the suction line layout and installation, as it is usually the major source of concern in centrifugal pump applications.
2. 4 alignment
Alignment is unnecessary on close-coupled pumps, Series
4360 & 4380, as there is no shaft coupling.
Series 4300 units are accurately aligned at the factory prior to being shipped and do not need re-aligning when installed.
Alignment on a Series 4300 unit may be verified by assuring an equal and parallel gap between coupling halves on both sides of the coupling.
operation
2.5 starting the pump
Ensure that the pump turns freely by hand, or with some gentle mechanical help such as a strap or Allen key in coupling bolt.
Ensure that all protective guarding is securely fixed in position.
The pump must be fully primed on start up. Fill the pump cas-ing with liquid and rotate the shaft by hand to remove any air trapped in the impeller. On Series 4300 any air trapped in the casing as the system is filled must be removed by the manual air vent in the seal flush line. Ensure entrained air is removed from series 4300 pumps, prior to starting, through the air vent on the seal flush line. Open vent until clear of air.
Series 4360 & 4380 units are fitted with seal flush/vent lines piped to the pump suction area. When these units operate re-sidual air is drawn out of the pump towards the suction piping.
'Bump' or energize the motor momentarily and check that the rotation corresponds with the directional arrow on the pump casing.
To reverse rotation of a three phase motor, interchange any two power leads.
Start the pump with the discharge valve closed and the suction valve open, then gradually open the discharge valve when the motor is at operating speed. The discharge valve may be open slightly at start up to help eliminate trapped air.
When stopping the pump: Close the discharge valve and de-energize the motor.
Do not run the pump against a closed discharge valve for an extended period of time (a few minutes maximum).
Star-Delta motor starters should be fitted with electronic/me-chanical interocks that have a timed period of no more than 40 miliseconds before switching from star (starting) to delta (run) connection yet allow the motor to reach full star (starting) speed before switching to delta (run).
Should the pump be noisy or vibrate on start-up a common reason is overstated system head. Check this by calculating the pump operating head by deducting the suction pressure gauge value from the discharge gauge reading. Convert the result into the units of the pump head as stated on the pump nameplate and compare the values. Should the actual pump operating head be significantly less than the nameplate head value it is typically permissable to throttle the discharge isolation valve until the actual operating head is equal to the nameplate value.
Any noise or vibration usually disappears. The system designer or operator should be made aware of this as some adjustment may be required to the pump impeller diameter or drive settings, if applicable, to make the pump suitable for the system as installed.
Commercial pumps Series 4300, 4360 and 4380
Vertical In–Line pump caution:
A Check rotation arrow prior to operating the unit. The rotation of all Armstrong Vertical In-Line units is clockwise when viewed from the drive end. (Looking from on top of/behind the motor).
2.6 gener al care
Vertical In-Line pumps are built to operate without periodic maintenance, other than motor lubrication on larger units. A systematic inspection made at regular intervals, will ensure years of trouble-free operation, giving special attention to the following:
• Keep unit clean.
• Provide the motor with correctly sized overload protection.
• Keep moisture, refuse, dust or other loose particles away from the pump and ventilating openings of the motor.
• Avoid operating the unit in overheated surroundings
(above 100°f/40°c).
warning:
Whenever any service work is to be performed on a pumping unit, disconnect the power source from the driver, lock it off and tag with the reason. Any possibility of the unit starting while being serviced must be eliminated.
• If mechanical seal environmental accessories are installed, ensure water is flowing through the sight flow indicator and that filter cartridges are replaced as recommended.
(See Armstrong files 43.85 & 43.86 for seal environmental instructions).
2.7 lubrication
Pump Lubrication is not required. There are no bearings in the pump that need external lubrication service.
Large Series 4300 units are installed with a shaft bushing located beneath the impeller that is lubricated from the pump discharge. This bearing is field removable for service on the
20 × 20 × 19 size without disturbing the motor or other major pump components.
Service instructions for the lower bearing is to be found in
File no: 43.805.
Motor Follow the lubrication procedures recommended by the motor manufacturer. Many small and medium sized motors are per-manently lubricated and need no added lubrication. Generally if there are grease fittings evident the motor needs periodic lubrication. None if not.
Check the lubrication instructions supplied with the motor for the particular frame size indicated on the motor nameplate.
Mechanical Seal Mechanical seals require no special attention. The mechanical seal is fitted with a flush line. The seal is flushed from discharge of the pump casing on Series 4300 pumps and is flushed/vent-ed to the suction on close coupled pumps, Series 4360 & 4380.
The Series 4300 pump is flushed from the pump discharge be-cause the mechanical seal chamber is isolated from the liquid in the pump by a throttle bushing. Because the seal chamber is isolated, seal environmental controls such as filters and separa-tors, when installed in the Series 4300 flush line are very effec-tive, as only the seal chamber needs cleansing, and will prolong seal life in hvac systems.
Do not run the pump unless properly filled with water as the mechanical seals need a film of liquid between the faces for proper operation.
Mechanical seals may ‘weep’ slightly at start-up. Allow the pump to continue operating for several hours and the mechanical seal to ‘seat’ properly prior to calling for service personnel.
The following Armstrong files are available for mechanical seal replacement instructions:
• Series 4360 & 4380: File no. 43.81
• Series 4300: p-Base and tcz Motor Frame – File no. 43.84 tc Motor Frame – File no. 43.88

Vertical In–Line pumps
2.8 system cleanliness
Before starting the pump the system must be thoroughly cleaned, flushed and drained and replenished with clean liquid.
Welding slag and other foreign materials, Stop Leak and clean-ing compounds and improper or excessive water treatment are all detrimental to the pump internals and sealing arrangement.
Proper operation cannot be guaranteed if the above conditions are not adhered to.
note:
Particular care must be taken to check the following before the pump is put into operation:
a Pump primed?
b Rotation ok?
c Lubrication ok?
d Pipe work properly supported?
e Voltage supply ok?
f Overload protection ok?
g Is the system clean?
h Is the area around the pump clean?

Refer to appropriate service work instructions (swi) file for breakdown instructions for the pump being serviced.
Mechanical seal replacement instructions are included in the pump swi. The following instructions are included for convenience.
caution Always disconnect power supply from motor before beginning service work.
seal kit installation instructions 1 Remove impeller and mechanical seal from pump or motor shaft. The mechanical seal spring and spring holder usually comes free with the impeller. The mechanical seal rotating element must be pried loose with pry bars or screwdrivers.
Once loosened, the seal may be pulled free of the shaft.
2 When removing the impeller and seal from a motor shaft, take care to retrieve the spacer from between the impeller and shaft sleeve. Store for later use.
3 The o-ring or l-cup mounted mechanical seal seat must be pried loose from the recess in the adapter. To do this:
Separate the adapter from the bearing housing or motor.
A screwdriver may then be used to push the seal seat out of the adapter from the rear.
4 Clean the shaft sleeve surface, ensuring the entire former seal elastomeric residue has been removed. Inspect for dam-age and replace if necessary. (See separate instructions, File
No. 6042.25, for removal of the motor shaft sleeve). Inspect the water slinger and replace if damaged.
5 Silicon carbide is a suitable replacement for ceramic, ni-resist, or tungsten carbide and is the seal seat of choice.
Ceramic and silicon carbide are more brittle than ni-resist or tungsten carbide and should be handled accordingly.
6 Install a new seal seat in the adapter cavity, being sure the lapped (polished) surface of the insert is facing up. Ensure that the cavity has been thoroughly cleaned. Lubricate the outside of the seat elastomer o-ring or l-cup with a small amount of temporary rubber lubricant emulsion and press down, straight and even, into the cavity. Do not press the seat in with bare fingers; use a clean cloth or the cardboard disc typically supplied with the seal. Contamination of the polished and lapped seat face could cause immediate leakage.
7 Replace the adapter, taking care that the seal seat is carefully guided over the shaft.
8 Lubricate the inside of the seal rotating assembly (The
‘rubber’ bellows) with a small amount of temporary rubber lu-bricant emulsion and slide onto the shaft sleeve with a twisting motion, carbon face first, until pressed to the carbon face. En-sure the seal is securely in place by pushing firmly with 2 screw drivers simultaneously on opposite tabs of the seal hardware.
Push the rotating seal retainer and seal hardware tabs simulta-neously to ensure the elastomer is not over-stretched.

SERIES 4380 & 4360D
CLOSE COUPLED VERTICAL IN-LINE PUMP
(JM/JP MOTOR FRAME)
SERVICE WORK INSTRUCTIONS
FILE NO: 43.81
DATE: Oct. 19, 2010
SUPERSEDES: 43.81
DATE: July 30, 1998
For other Armstrong instructions pertaining to 4360D & 4380 pumps please refer to: Installation & Operating – File: 43.64, Shaft Sleeve Replacement – File: 6042.25, Mechanical Seals Kits – File: 6040.60”
The Series 4360D and 4380 pumps are motor mounted or “close coupled” type Vertical In Line pumps, on which are mounted vertical shaft-down ball bearing motors. Each pump and motor unit is pipe mounted and as such relies on the pip-ing only for support. The piping support is designed for the weight of the piping, liquid, pump and motor and other pipe fittings. The pumping unit should not be independently secured to the building structure. If the pump is mounted separately to any structure, the pump must be isolated from the piping with flexible piping connections. For units with larger motors it is advisable to install a permanent device for lifting the rotating assembly out of the pipe mounted casing to service the unit.
BREAKDOWN PROCEDURES:
1. ELECTRICAL WIRING
If the pump and/or motor assembly is to be serviced on a bench, the motor wiring must be disconnected.
2. ISOLATION VALVES
If the system is not drained: Ensure that the suction and discharge piping isolation valves are closed. Remove drain plug [105] from the bottom of the casing and drain the pump.
3. PREPARE ASSEMBLY FOR REMOVAL
Secure the motor [10], by lifting straps, to an overhead chainfall or similar lifting device. The device must be de-signed to lift the weight of the unit safely. Raise the lifter to bring the lifting straps taut. Disconnect the flush/vent tub-ing assembly and place carefully to one side. Remove the casing capscrews and washers [103 & 104]. Pry bars may then be inserted between the casing [100] and adapter [40]. Care should be taken not to apply pressure to the outside diameter of the adapter, to prevent possible break-age, outside pressure should be on the casing only.
4. REMOVE ROTATING ASSEMBLY
The rotating assembly (Motor, adapter and impeller [10, 40 & 80]) may now be lifted out of the casing.
5. ROTATING ASSEMBLY NOTES
The impeller [80] is fastened directly to the motor shaft and must be removed in order to replace the mechanical seal assembly [60/62]. This may be accomplished on a safe sur-face near the installation or, more conveniently, on a work bench.
6. IMPELLER CAPSCREW
The impeller [80] should be prevented from rotating while the impeller capscrew [86] is loosened. A heavy screwdriver may be inserted between the impeller blades to enable the impeller capscrew [86] to be backed off with a socket wrench. Remove the impeller capscrew and washer [86 & 83].
7. PUMP IMPELLER
Using wheel pullers, with the jaws behind the rear shroud of the impeller [80] (Behind a vane at each side) pull the impel-ler free of the pump shaft. Impellers that are difficult to re-move may be loosened by heating the impeller hub with a torch during the pulling process. Remove the impeller from the motor shaft. Note the impeller key and shaft sleeve spacer [71]. Remove both for storage.
8. REMOVE MECHANICAL SEAL FROM MOTOR
SHAFT
The mechanical seal spring usually comes free with the impeller. The mechanical seal rotating element [62] must be pried loose with pry bars or screwdrivers, placed under each side of the seal drive band. Leverage is applied against the adapter. Once loosened, the seal may be pulled free of the shaft.
Do not damage the carbon face when removing the rotating assembly. It may be needed for analysis if seal failure investigation is required.
9. REMOVE SEAL SEAT FROM ADAPTER
The mechanical seal seat [60], typically O-ring or L-cup mounted Silicon Carbide material, is pried loose from the recess in the adapter. If the seat cannot be removed in this manner, remove the motor capscrews [44] and separate the adapter [40] from the motor [10]. A screwdriver may then be used to push the seat out of the adapter from the rear.
10. REMOVE OLD CASING GASKET
The former casing gasket [101] should be scraped from the casing and adapter, leaving clean surfaces for the new gas-ket. (A standard putty knife and wire brush are useful for this purpose)
Exercise extreme care when handling power wiring. Ensure that the fuses are removed or breaker disconnected in the power line to the motor.
