The Scavenger Triple Seal System
This ABS exclusive design provides three
levels of sealing for outstanding reliability.
A double mechanical seal located inside the
oil chamber provides two full levels of sealing.
An additional V-Ring type lip seal between the
oil chamber and pump volute provides a third
extra larger level of sealing, and enhanced
mechanical seal protection.

ABS Monitoring System
Scavenger 3HP - 10HP includes the ABS Monitoring System.This system provides normally
closed thermal overload switched in the motor winding, and the ABS Sealminder moisure
detection probe in the mechanical seal chamber. Wires for the sensors emerge from the
pump in a separate control cable. These wires must be connected to the control panel for
sensor operation (ABS Sealminder relay required in the panel for moisure detection alarm).

Single phase versions
SCOPE
Furnish _____ ABS Scavenger Model _____________
submersible non-clog wastewater pump(s) capable of
delivering _______U.S. GPM at a total dynamic head of
______feet. The pump shall have a 1¼” NPT horizontal
discharge with an integrated ABS Piranha® type bolting
flange. The motor shall be _______HP connected for
operation on a ________ volts, single phase, 60 hertz
electrical supply service.
Each pump unit shall have
_____feet of __________________lifting _________ sized
properly for the weight of the pump, and ______ feet of
power cable. The pump assembly shall be approved by CSA
to UL 778 and CSA C22.2-108 standards.
PUMP DESIGN
The pump(s) shall be designed to handle, without clogging, clean water,
contaminated water, wastewater effluent, storm water, and other similar
non corrosive liquids which may contain small solids. The pump shall
have integrated feet allowing it to stand on a hard bottom wet well. The
pump shall also be capable of mounting on a Guide Rail System allowing
the pump to be removed from the wet well without disturbing the
discharge piping or requiring personnel to enter the wet well.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, ASTM A-48, Class
30, with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity or other irregularities. All
exposed fasteners shall be AISI type 304 stainless steel. All metal
surfaces coming into contact with the pumped media shall be protected
by a factory applied spray coating of modified alkyd and phenol resin
primer and top coat, with a total paint thickness of 3.5-4.5mils.
Critical mating surfaces where a watertight seal is required shall be
machined and fitted with Buna-N o-rings. Sealing will be the result of
controlled compression of rubber o-rings without requiring a specific
torque on fasteners to accomplish sealing. Rectangular cross sectioned
gaskets requiring specific fastener torque to achieve compression shall
not be considered adequate or equal. No secondary sealing compounds
shall be used or required.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi-open, non-clogging, dynamically
balanced, double vane, ABS ContraBlock™ design, capable of passing a
5
/8” diameter spherical solid. The impeller shall have a precision
machined slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt and machined impeller
washer. The back side of the impeller shall be fit closely against the
lower portion of the motor and shall incorporate an active chopping
system to prevent stringy solids from entering the area behind the
impeller and interfering with the shaft.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The pump shall be equipped with an ABS
ContraBlock™ self cleaning wear plate. The wear plate shall be capable
of adjustment for maximum pump efficiency without disassembling the
pump. The wear plate shall be designed with a wave shaped inlet and
an outward spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to
shred and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The use of non-adjustable wear rings or adjustment
systems which require removal and shimming of the impeller shall not be
considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be a single piece design with
vertical discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large enough to pass
any solids which may enter the impeller. Discharge flange design shall
permit attachment to standard 1¼” NPT pipe fittings. Discharge flange
shall also incorporate an ABS Piranha type bolt pattern to allow the pump
to bolt to ABS Piranha accessories.

Specifications subject to change without notice

Shaft & Rotating Assembly: The common motor/pump shaft shall be of
420 stainless steel material and shall have a polished finish and
accurately machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
The rotating assembly (impeller, shaft and rotor) shall be dynamically
balanced such that undue vibration or other unsatisfactory characteristics
will not result when the pump is in operation.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a mechanical
shaft seal system consisting of two independent seal assemblies with a
common spring between them. The seals shall operate in an oil filled
chamber which is completely separate from the motor chamber. Oil
contained in this chamber shall be non-toxic. The rotating seal faces
shall be carbon, and stationary seal faces shall be aluminum oxide. As
an option, seal faces of silicon carbide shall be available. Static sealing
components of the mechanical seal such as boots and o-rings shall be
constructed of Buna-N. Metallic components of the mechanical seal
shall be constructed of 300 series stainless steel. The seal system shall
not rely upon the pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged
when the pump is run dry. As a third level of sealing, a v-ring type lip
seal shall be installed on the shaft behind the impeller to prevent solids in
the pumped media from interfering with the primary mechanical seal.
Bearings: The pump shaft shall rotate on ball bearings. The upper
bearing shall be a single row deep grooved ball bearing The lower
bearing shall be a heavy duty single row, deep grooved ball bearing.
Upper and lower bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced
to transfer all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize
shaft deflection. Bearings shall be continuously lubricated by the oil
contained in the pump motor housing. B-10 bearing life shall be a
minimum of 30k hr at BEP. Pump designs utilizing other than ball
bearings, or those requiring supplemental guide bushings for the shaft or
impeller shall not be considered acceptable.
Motor: The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design, with
copper windings, housed in an oil filled, water tight chamber. The oil
within the motor housing shall be non-toxic. The motor shall be capable
of continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
The stator windings and stator leads shall be insulated with moisture
resistant Class B insulation rated for 130oC (266o F). The motor shall be
o
o
capable of operating continuously, submerged in liquid of 40 C (104 F)
without overheating. The motor shall be capable of handling up to 10
evenly spaced starts per hour. The service factor (as defined by NEMA)
shall be a minimum of 1.15. Single phase motors shall be rated 208-230
volts, and shall utilize a capacitor start circuit with a solid state voltage
sensing start relay. The start circuit shall be integrated into the top of the
motor. All motors shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10% from nominal
name plate rating.
Power Cable: The power cable shall be sized according to NEC and
CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the junction box
without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the cable shall be oil and
water resistant thermoplastic elastomer. The power cable shall be fitted
to the motor using an epoxy potted, water tight cable entry system, with a
rubber grommet as the secondary seal and strain relief.
Lifting Bail: The pump shall be equipped with a stainless steel, open
loop lifting bail to which a chain or other lifting device may be attached.
The bail shall be firmly attached to the pump in a fixed, upright position,
and shall be large enough to allow the pump to be hooked from the
surface in an emergency. Bails which are not fixed in an upright position
or those which cannot be hooked from the surface shall not be
considered acceptable.

Single phase and three phase versions
SCOPE
Furnish _____ ABS Scavenger Model _____________
submersible non-clog wastewater pump(s) capable of
delivering _______U.S. GPM at a total dynamic head of
______feet.
The pump shall have a 2” NPT vertical
discharge. The motor shall be _______HP connected for
operation on a ________ volts, _____ phase, 60 hertz
electrical supply service.
Each pump unit shall have
_____feet of __________________lifting _________ sized
properly for the weight of the pump, and ______ feet of
power cable. The pump assembly shall be approved by CSA
to UL 778 and CSA C22.2-108 standards.
PUMP DESIGN
The pump(s) shall be designed to handle, without clogging, clean water,
contaminated water, wastewater effluent, storm water, and other similar
non corrosive liquids which may contain small solids. The pump shall
have integrated feet allowing it to stand on a hard bottom wet well. The
pump shall also be capable of mounting on a Guide Rail System allowing
the pump to be removed from the wet well without disturbing the
discharge piping or requiring personnel to enter the wet well.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, ASTM A-48, Class
30, with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity or other irregularities. All
exposed fasteners shall be AISI type 304 stainless steel. All metal
surfaces coming into contact with the pumped media shall be protected
by a factory applied spray coating of modified alkyd and phenol resin
primer and top coat, with a total paint thickness of 3.5-4.5mils.
Critical mating surfaces where a watertight seal is required shall be
machined and fitted with Buna-N o-rings. Sealing will be the result of
controlled compression of rubber o-rings without requiring a specific
torque on fasteners to accomplish sealing. Rectangular cross sectioned
gaskets requiring specific fastener torque to achieve compression shall
not be considered adequate or equal. No secondary sealing compounds
shall be used or required.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi-open, non-clogging, dynamically
balanced, double vane, ABS ContraBlock™ design, capable of passing a
¾” diameter spherical solid. The impeller shall have a precision
machined slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt and machined impeller
washer. The back side of the impeller shall be fit closely against the
lower portion of the motor and shall incorporate an active chopping
system to prevent stringy solids from entering the area behind the
impeller and interfering with the shaft.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The pump shall be equipped with an ABS
ContraBlock™ self cleaning wear plate. The wear plate shall be capable
of adjustment for maximum pump efficiency without disassembling the
pump. The wear plate shall be designed with a wave shaped inlet and
an outward spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to
shred and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The use of non-adjustable wear rings or adjustment
systems which require removal and shimming of the impeller shall not be
considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be a single piece design with
vertical discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large enough to pass
any solids which may enter the impeller. Discharge flange design shall
permit attachment to standard 2” NPT pipe fittings. A bolt–on 2” X 3”
NPT adapter shall be available to convert the pump to 3” NPT vertical
discharge.

Specifications subject to change without notice

Shaft & Rotating Assembly: The common motor/pump shaft shall be of
420 stainless steel material and shall have a polished finish and
accurately machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
The rotating assembly (impeller, shaft and rotor) shall be dynamically
balanced such that undue vibration or other unsatisfactory characteristics
will not result when the pump is in operation.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a mechanical
shaft seal system consisting of two independent seal assemblies with a
common spring between them. The seals shall operate in an oil filled
chamber which is completely separate from the motor chamber. Oil
contained in this chamber shall be non-toxic. The rotating seal faces
shall be carbon, and stationary seal faces shall be aluminum oxide. As
an option, seal faces of silicon carbide shall be available. Static sealing
components of the mechanical seal such as boots and o-rings shall be
constructed of Buna-N. Metallic components of the mechanical seal
shall be constructed of 300 series stainless steel. The seal system shall
not rely upon the pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged
when the pump is run dry. As a third level of sealing, a v-ring type lip
seal shall be installed on the shaft behind the impeller to prevent solids in
the pumped media from interfering with the primary mechanical seal.
Bearings: The pump shaft shall rotate on ball bearings. The upper
bearing shall be a single row deep grooved ball bearing The lower
bearing shall be a heavy duty single row, deep grooved ball bearing.
Upper and lower bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced
to transfer all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize
shaft deflection. Bearings shall be continuously lubricated by the oil
contained in the pump motor housing. B-10 bearing life shall be a
minimum of 30k hr at BEP. Pump designs utilizing other than ball
bearings, or those requiring supplemental guide bushings for the shaft or
impeller shall not be considered acceptable.
Motor: The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design, with
copper windings, housed in an oil filled, water tight chamber. The oil
within the motor housing shall be non-toxic. The motor shall be capable
of continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
The stator windings and stator leads shall be insulated with moisture
resistant Class B insulation rated for 130oC (266o F). The motor shall be
o
o
capable of operating continuously, submerged in liquid of 40 C (104 F)
without overheating. The motor shall be capable of handling up to 10
evenly spaced starts per hour. The service factor (as defined by NEMA)
shall be a minimum of 1.15. Three phase motors shall be tri-voltage,
208-230/460. A three phase motor rated at 575 volts shall also be
available. Single phase versions shall be rated 208-230 volts. Single
phase versions shall utilize a capacitor start circuit with a solid state
voltage sensing start relay. The start circuit shall be integrated into the
top of the motor. All motors shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10%
from nominal name plate rating.
Power Cable: The power cable shall be sized according to NEC and
CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the junction box
without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the cable shall be oil and
water resistant thermoplastic elastomer. The power cable shall be fitted
to the motor using an epoxy potted, water tight cable entry system, with a
rubber grommet as the secondary seal and strain relief.
Lifting Bail: The pump shall be equipped with a stainless steel, open
loop lifting bail to which a chain or other lifting device may be attached.
The bail shall be firmly attached to the pump in a fixed, upright position,
and shall be large enough to allow the pump to be hooked from the
surface in an emergency. Bails which are not fixed in an upright position
or those which cannot be hooked from the surface shall not be
considered acceptable.

Furnish _____ ABS Scavenger Model _____________
submersible non-clog wastewater pump(s) capable of
delivering _______U.S. GPM at a total dynamic head of
______feet. The pump shall have a 2” ANSI horizontal
discharge. The motor shall be _______HP connected for
operation on a ________ volts, _____ phase, 60 hertz
electrical supply service.
Each pump unit shall have
_____feet of __________________lifting _________ sized
properly for the weight of the pump, and ______ feet of
power cable. The pump assembly shall be approved by CSA
to UL 778 and CSA C22.2-108 standards.
PUMP DESIGN
The pump(s) shall be designed to handle clean or solids contaminated
water, raw sewage, wastewater effluent, storm water, and other similar
non corrosive, solids-laden fluids, without clogging. The pump shall have
integrated feet allowing it to stand on a hard bottom wet well. The pump
shall also be capable of mounting on a Guide Rail System allowing the
pump to be removed from the wet well without disturbing the discharge
piping or requiring personnel to enter the wet well. The Guide Rail
System shall be cast iron, have an integrated discharge elbow, and shall
utilize a single guide rail pipe to guide the pump into place.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, ASTM A-48, Class
30, with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity or other irregularities. All
exposed fasteners shall be AISI type 304 stainless steel. All metal
surfaces coming into contact with the pumped media shall be protected
by a factory applied spray coating of modified alkyd and phenol resin
primer and top coat, with a total paint thickness of 3.5-4.5mils.
Critical mating surfaces where a watertight seal is required shall be
machined and fitted with Buna-N o-rings. Sealing will be the result of
controlled compression of rubber o-rings without requiring a specific
torque on fasteners to accomplish sealing. Rectangular cross sectioned
gaskets requiring specific fastener torque to achieve compression shall
not be considered adequate or equal. No secondary sealing compounds
shall be used or required.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi-open, non-clogging, dynamically
balanced, double vane, ABS ContraBlock™ design, capable of passing a
2” diameter spherical solid. The impeller shall have a precision
machined slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt and machined impeller
washer. The back side of the impeller shall be fit closely against the
lower portion of the motor and shall incorporate an active chopping
system to prevent stringy solids from entering the area behind the
impeller and interfering with the shaft.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The pump shall be equipped with an ABS
ContraBlock™ self cleaning wear plate. The wear plate shall be capable
of adjustment for maximum pump efficiency without disassembling the
pump. The wear plate shall be designed with a wave shaped inlet and
an outward spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to
shred and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The use of non-adjustable wear rings or adjustment
systems which require removal and shimming of the impeller shall not be
considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be a single piece design with
centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large enough to
pass any solids which may enter the impeller. Discharge flange design
shall permit attachment to standard ANSI 2” flanges.

Specifications subject to change without notice

Shaft & Rotating Assembly: The common motor/pump shaft shall be of
420 stainless steel material and shall have a polished finish and
accurately machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
The rotating assembly (impeller, shaft and rotor) shall be dynamically
balanced such that undue vibration or other unsatisfactory characteristics
will not result when the pump is in operation.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a mechanical
shaft seal system consisting of two independent seal assemblies with a
common spring between them. The seals shall operate in an oil filled
chamber which is completely separate from the motor chamber. Oil
contained in this chamber shall be non-toxic. The rotating seal faces
shall be carbon, and stationary seal faces shall be aluminum oxide. As
an option, seal faces of silicon carbide shall be available. Static sealing
components of the mechanical seal such as boots and o-rings shall be
constructed of Buna-N. Metallic components of the mechanical seal
shall be constructed of 300 series stainless steel. The seal system shall
not rely upon the pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged
when the pump is run dry. As a third level of sealing, a v-ring type lip
seal shall be installed on the shaft behind the impeller to prevent solids in
the pumped media from interfering with the primary mechanical seal.
Bearings: The pump shaft shall rotate on ball bearings. The upper
bearing shall be a single row deep grooved ball bearing The lower
bearing shall be a heavy duty single row, deep grooved ball bearing.
Upper and lower bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced
to transfer all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize
shaft deflection. Bearings shall be continuously lubricated by the oil
contained in the pump motor housing. B-10 bearing life shall be a
minimum of 25k hr at BEP. Pump designs utilizing other than ball
bearings, or those requiring supplemental guide bushings for the shaft or
impeller shall not be considered acceptable.
Motor: The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design, with
copper windings, housed in an oil filled, water tight chamber. The oil
within the motor housing shall be non-toxic. The motor shall be capable
of continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
The stator windings and stator leads shall be insulated with moisture
resistant Class B insulation rated for 130oC (266o F). The motor shall be
o
o
capable of operating continuously, submerged in liquid of 40 C (104 F)
without overheating. The motor shall be capable of handling up to 10
evenly spaced starts per hour. The service factor (as defined by NEMA)
shall be a minimum of 1.15. Three phase motors shall be tri-voltage,
208-230/460. A three phase motor rated at 575 volts shall also be
available. Single phase versions shall be rated 208-230 volts. Single
phase versions shall utilize a capacitor start circuit with a solid state
voltage sensing start relay. The start circuit shall be integrated into the
top of the motor. All motors shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10%
from nominal name plate rating.
Power Cable: The power cable shall be sized according to NEC and
CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the junction box
without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the cable shall be oil and
water resistant thermoplastic elastomer. The power cable shall be fitted
to the motor using an epoxy potted, water tight cable entry system, with a
rubber grommet as the secondary seal and strain relief.
Lifting Bail: The pump shall be equipped with a stainless steel, open
loop lifting bail to which a chain or other lifting device may be attached.
The bail shall be firmly attached to the pump in a fixed, upright position,
and shall be large enough to allow the pump to be hooked from the
surface in an emergency. Bails which are not fixed in an upright position
or those which cannot be hooked from the surface shall not be
considered acceptable.

seal shall be installed on the shaft behind the impeller to prevent solids in
the pumped media from interfering with the primary mechanical seal.
Bearings: The pump shaft shall rotate on ball bearings. The upper
bearing shall be a single row deep grooved ball bearing The lower
bearing shall be a heavy duty single row, deep grooved ball bearing.
Upper and lower bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced
to transfer all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize
shaft deflection. Bearings shall be continuously lubricated by the oil
contained in the pump motor housing. B-10 bearing life shall be a
minimum of 25k hr at BEP. Pump designs utilizing other than ball
bearings, or those requiring supplemental guide bushings for the shaft or
impeller shall not be considered acceptable.
Motor: The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design, with
copper windings, housed in an oil filled, water tight chamber. The oil
within the motor housing shall be non-toxic. The motor shall be capable
of continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
The stator windings and stator leads shall be insulated with moisture
resistant Class B insulation rated for 130oC (266o F). The motor shall be
o
o
capable of operating continuously, submerged in liquid of 40 C (104 F)
without overheating. The motor shall be capable of handling up to 10
evenly spaced starts per hour. The service factor (as defined by NEMA)
shall be a minimum of 1.15. Three phase motors shall be tri-voltage,
208-230/460. A three phase motor rated at 575 volts shall also be
available. Single phase versions shall be rated 208-230 volts. Single
phase versions shall utilize a capacitor start circuit with a solid state
voltage sensing start relay. The start circuit shall be integrated into the
top of the motor. All motors shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10%
from nominal name plate rating.
Power Cable: The power cable shall be sized according to NEC and
CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the junction box
without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the cable shall be oil and
water resistant thermoplastic elastomer. The power cable shall be fitted
to the motor using an epoxy potted, water tight cable entry system, with a
rubber grommet as the secondary seal and strain relief.
Lifting Bail: The pump shall be equipped with a stainless steel, open
loop lifting bail to which a chain or other lifting device may be attached.
The bail shall be firmly attached to the pump in a fixed, upright position,
and shall be large enough to allow the pump to be hooked from the
surface in an emergency. Bails which are not fixed in an upright position
or those which cannot be hooked from the surface shall not be
considered acceptable.

SCOPE
Furnish _____ ABS Scavenger Model _____________
submersible non-clog wastewater pump(s) capable of
delivering _______U.S. GPM at a total dynamic head of
______feet. The pump shall have a 3” ANSI horizontal
discharge. The motor shall be _______HP connected for
operation on a ________ volts, _____ phase, 60 hertz
electrical supply service.
Each pump unit shall have
_____feet of __________________lifting _________ sized
properly for the weight of the pump, and ______ feet of
power cable. The pump assembly shall be approved by CSA
to UL 778 and CSA C22.2-108 standards.
PUMP DESIGN
The pump(s) shall be designed to handle clean or solids contaminated
water, raw sewage, wastewater effluent, storm water, and other similar
non corrosive, solids-laden fluids, without clogging. The pump shall have
integrated feet allowing it to stand on a hard bottom wet well. The pump
shall also be capable of mounting on a Guide Rail System allowing the
pump to be removed from the wet well without disturbing the discharge
piping or requiring personnel to enter the wet well. The Guide Rail
System shall be cast iron, have an integrated discharge elbow, and shall
utilize a single guide rail pipe to guide the pump into place.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, ASTM A-48, Class
30, with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity or other irregularities. All
exposed fasteners shall be AISI type 304 stainless steel. All metal
surfaces coming into contact with the pumped media shall be protected
by a factory applied spray coating of modified alkyd and phenol resin
primer and top coat, with a total paint thickness of 3.5-4.5mils.
Critical mating surfaces where a watertight seal is required shall be
machined and fitted with Buna-N o-rings. Sealing will be the result of
controlled compression of rubber o-rings without requiring a specific
torque on fasteners to accomplish sealing. Rectangular cross sectioned
gaskets requiring specific fastener torque to achieve compression shall
not be considered adequate or equal. No secondary sealing compounds
shall be used or required.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi-open, non-clogging, dynamically
balanced, double vane, ABS ContraBlock™ design, capable of passing a
2½” diameter spherical solid. The impeller shall have a precision
machined slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt and machined impeller
washer. The back side of the impeller shall be fit closely against the
lower portion of the motor and shall incorporate an active chopping
system to prevent stringy solids from entering the area behind the
impeller and interfering with the shaft.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The pump shall be equipped with an ABS
ContraBlock™ self cleaning wear plate. The wear plate shall be capable
of adjustment for maximum pump efficiency without disassembling the
pump. The wear plate shall be designed with a wave shaped inlet and
an outward spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to
shred and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The use of non-adjustable wear rings or adjustment
systems which require removal and shimming of the impeller shall not be
considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be a single piece design with
centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large enough to
pass any solids which may enter the impeller. Discharge flange design
shall permit attachment to standard ANSI 3” flanges.

Specifications subject to change without notice

Shaft & Rotating Assembly: The common motor/pump shaft shall be of
420 stainless steel material and shall have a polished finish and
accurately machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
The rotating assembly (impeller, shaft and rotor) shall be dynamically
balanced such that undue vibration or other unsatisfactory characteristics
will not result when the pump is in operation.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a mechanical
shaft seal system consisting of two independent seal assemblies with a
common spring between them. The seals shall operate in an oil filled
chamber which is completely separate from the motor chamber. Oil
contained in this chamber shall be non-toxic. The rotating seal faces
shall be carbon, and stationary seal faces shall be aluminum oxide. As
an option, seal faces of silicon carbide shall be available. Static sealing
components of the mechanical seal such as boots and o-rings shall be
constructed of Buna-N. Metallic components of the mechanical seal
shall be constructed of 300 series stainless steel. The seal system shall
not rely upon the pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged
when the pump is run dry. As a third level of sealing, a v-ring type lip
seal shall be installed on the shaft behind the impeller to prevent solids in
the pumped media from interfering with the primary mechanical seal.
Bearings: The pump shaft shall rotate on ball bearings. The upper
bearing shall be a single row deep grooved ball bearing The lower
bearing shall be a heavy duty single row, deep grooved ball bearing.
Upper and lower bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced
to transfer all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize
shaft deflection. Bearings shall be continuously lubricated by the oil
contained in the pump motor housing. B-10 bearing life shall be a
minimum of 25k hr at BEP. Pump designs utilizing other than ball
bearings, or those requiring supplemental guide bushings for the shaft or
impeller shall not be considered acceptable.
Motor: The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design, with
copper windings, housed in an oil filled, water tight chamber. The oil
within the motor housing shall be non-toxic. The motor shall be capable
of continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
The stator windings and stator leads shall be insulated with moisture
resistant Class B insulation rated for 130oC (266o F). The motor shall be
o
o
capable of operating continuously, submerged in liquid of 40 C (104 F)
without overheating. The motor shall be capable of handling up to 10
evenly spaced starts per hour. The service factor (as defined by NEMA)
shall be a minimum of 1.15. Three phase motors shall be tri-voltage,
208-230/460. A three phase motor rated at 575 volts shall also be
available. Single phase versions shall be rated 208-230 volts. Single
phase versions shall utilize a capacitor start circuit with a solid state
voltage sensing start relay. The start circuit shall be integrated into the
top of the motor. All motors shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10%
from nominal name plate rating.
Power Cable: The power cable shall be sized according to NEC and
CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the junction box
without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the cable shall be oil and
water resistant thermoplastic elastomer. The power cable shall be fitted
to the motor using an epoxy potted, water tight cable entry system, with a
rubber grommet as the secondary seal and strain relief.
Lifting Bail: The pump shall be equipped with a stainless steel, open
loop lifting bail to which a chain or other lifting device may be attached.
The bail shall be firmly attached to the pump in a fixed, upright position,
and shall be large enough to allow the pump to be hooked from the
surface in an emergency. Bails which are not fixed in an upright position
or those which cannot be hooked from the surface shall not be
considered acceptable.

Single phase and three phase versions
SCOPE
Furnish _____ ABS Scavenger Model _____________
submersible non-clog wastewater pump(s) capable of
delivering _______U.S. GPM at a total dynamic head of
______feet. The pump shall have a 4” ANSI horizontal
discharge. The motor shall be _______HP connected for
operation on a ________ volts, _____ phase, 60 hertz
electrical supply service.
Each pump unit shall have
_____feet of __________________lifting _________ sized
properly for the weight of the pump, and ______ feet of
power cable. The pump assembly shall be approved by CSA
to UL 778 and CSA C22.2-108 standards.
PUMP DESIGN
The pump(s) shall be designed to handle clean or solids contaminated
water, raw sewage, wastewater effluent, storm water, and other similar
non corrosive, solids-laden fluids, without clogging. The pump shall have
integrated feet allowing it to stand on a hard bottom wet well. The pump
shall also be capable of mounting on a Guide Rail System allowing the
pump to be removed from the wet well without disturbing the discharge
piping or requiring personnel to enter the wet well. The Guide Rail
System shall be cast iron, have an integrated discharge elbow, and shall
utilize a single guide rail pipe to guide the pump into place.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, ASTM A-48, Class
30, with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity or other irregularities. All
exposed fasteners shall be AISI type 304 stainless steel. All metal
surfaces coming into contact with the pumped media shall be protected
by a factory applied spray coating of modified alkyd and phenol resin
primer and top coat, with a total paint thickness of 3.5-4.5mils.
Critical mating surfaces where a watertight seal is required shall be
machined and fitted with Buna-N o-rings. Sealing will be the result of
controlled compression of rubber o-rings without requiring a specific
torque on fasteners to accomplish sealing. Rectangular cross sectioned
gaskets requiring specific fastener torque to achieve compression shall
not be considered adequate or equal. No secondary sealing compounds
shall be used or required.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi-open, non-clogging, dynamically
balanced, double vane, ABS ContraBlock™ design, capable of passing a
3” diameter spherical solid. The impeller shall have a precision
machined slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt and machined impeller
washer. The back side of the impeller shall be fit closely against the
lower portion of the motor and shall incorporate an active chopping
system to prevent stringy solids from entering the area behind the
impeller and interfering with the shaft.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The pump shall be equipped with an ABS
ContraBlock™ self cleaning wear plate. The wear plate shall be capable
of adjustment for maximum pump efficiency without disassembling the
pump. The wear plate shall be designed with a wave shaped inlet and
an outward spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to
shred and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The use of non-adjustable wear rings or adjustment
systems which require removal and shimming of the impeller shall not be
considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be a single piece design with
centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large enough to
pass any solids which may enter the impeller. Discharge flange design
shall permit attachment to standard ANSI 4” flanges.

Specifications subject to change without notice

Shaft & Rotating Assembly: The common motor/pump shaft shall be of
420 stainless steel material and shall have a polished finish and
accurately machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
The rotating assembly (impeller, shaft and rotor) shall be dynamically
balanced such that undue vibration or other unsatisfactory characteristics
will not result when the pump is in operation.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a mechanical
shaft seal system consisting of two independent seal assemblies with a
common spring between them. The seals shall operate in an oil filled
chamber which is completely separate from the motor chamber. Oil
contained in this chamber shall be non-toxic. The rotating seal faces
shall be carbon, and stationary seal faces shall be aluminum oxide. As
an option, seal faces of silicon carbide shall be available. Static sealing
components of the mechanical seal such as boots and o-rings shall be
constructed of Buna-N. Metallic components of the mechanical seal
shall be constructed of 300 series stainless steel. The seal system shall
not rely upon the pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged
when the pump is run dry. As a third level of sealing, a v-ring type lip
seal shall be installed on the shaft behind the impeller to prevent solids in
the pumped media from interfering with the primary mechanical seal.
Bearings: The pump shaft shall rotate on ball bearings. The upper
bearing shall be a single row deep grooved ball bearing The lower
bearing shall be a heavy duty, double row, angular contact ball bearing.
Upper and lower bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced
to transfer all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize
shaft deflection. Bearings shall be continuously lubricated by the oil
contained in the pump motor housing. B-10 bearing life shall be a
minimum of 30k hr at BEP. Pump designs utilizing other than ball
bearings, or those requiring supplemental guide bushings for the shaft or
impeller shall not be considered acceptable.
Motor: The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design, with
copper windings, housed in an oil filled, water tight chamber. The oil
within the motor housing shall be non-toxic. The motor shall be capable
of continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
The stator windings and stator leads shall be insulated with moisture
resistant Class F insulation rated for 155oC (311o F). The motor shall be
o
o
capable of operating continuously, submerged in liquid of 40 C (104 F)
without overheating. The motor shall be capable of handling up to 10
evenly spaced starts per hour. The service factor (as defined by NEMA)
shall be a minimum of 1.10. Three phase motors shall be tri-voltage,
208-230/460. A three phase motor rated at 575 volts shall also be
available. Single phase versions shall be rated 208-230 volts. Single
phase versions shall utilize a capacitor start, capacitor run circuit with a
voltage sensing start relay. The start circuit components shall be located
in the control panel. All motors shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10%
from nominal name plate rating.
Power Cable: The power cable shall be sized according to NEC and
CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the junction box
without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the cable shall be oil and
water resistant thermoplastic elastomer. The power cable shall be fitted
to the motor using an epoxy potted, water tight cable entry system, with a
rubber grommet as the secondary seal and strain relief.
Lifting Bail: The pump shall be equipped with a stainless steel, open
loop lifting bail to which a chain or other lifting device may be attached.
The bail shall be firmly attached to the pump in a fixed, upright position,
and shall be large enough to allow the pump to be hooked from the
surface in an emergency. Bails which are not fixed in an upright position
or those which cannot be hooked from the surface shall not be
considered acceptable.

ABS Piranha submersible grinder pump 09 - 125
ABS submersible pumps for problem-free pumping of raw sewage
in pipe lines from 1¼” (DN 32) and in pressure sewer systems.

Applications
Piranha submersible pumps have been designed for effective and
economic dewatering using discharge lines of small diameter, in
private, municipal and industrial areas.
* Sewage removal from houses in scattered settlements where
the laying of a conventional sewer would be too expensive, where
large ground undulations are present or where it is only possible
to lay pipe lines of small diameter.
* Sewage removal from highway and motorway resting sites, community buildings and for renovation projects.
* For use in slaughter houses, food processing plants, paper
factories, agriculture and similar areas.
* Piranha 09 is specially designed for private and domestic applications.
* Maximum allowable temperature of the medium is 104 °F, or
short term to 140 °F (max. 5 minutes).

Construction
The water pressure-tight, encapsulated fully flood-proof motor
and the pump section form a compact ,robust, unit construction.
Bearings
The stainless steel motor shaft is supported in lubricated-for-life
ball bearings.
Shaft sealing
Piranha 09 - S30; between motor and hydraulic section by means
of a high quality sealing unit using a silicon carbide mechanical
seal. Seal at motor side is by oil-lubricated lip seal.
Piranha PE25/2C - PE125/2E: SiC-SiC double mechanical seals.
All seals are independent of direction of rotation and resistant to
temperature shock.
Discharge
Piranha 09: 1¼” internal thread
Piranha S10 - PE45: DN 32 flange (1¼” threaded adaptor available
as accessory).
Piranha PE80/2E - PE125/2E: DN 50 (2”) with DIN-flange
Shredding system
Spiral bottom plate and stationary cutter ring combined with
a shredding rotor located before the impeller, for optimum
blockage-free running.
Temperature monitoring
Thermal sensors in the stator to switch off the pump in the case of
overheating and switch on automatically after cooling down.
Seal monitoring
DI system consisting of a sensor in the motor and oil chambers
which activates an alarm if there is leakage at the shaft seals. Not
available for Piranha 09.

Features
* Unique ABS Piranha shredding system capable of shredding all
materials found in sewage such as cloths and plastic bags.
* For the pumping of wastewater containing sewage, offal, organic
and industrial effluent.
* Piranha 09 fitted with MF modular motor; Piranha- S with AS;
Piranha-PE with XFP Premium Efficiency IE3.
* Small discharge lines from 1¼” (DN 32).
* Installations are possible where large ground undulations are
present.
* Standard and Ex versions.
* Piranha 09 has a capacitor in the upper lid and does not require
a control box.
* Low installation costs due to small diameter discharge pipework.
Motor
Three-phase 208, 230, 380, 460 and 600 V, or single-phase 208 and
230 V; 60 Hz; 2-pole (3400 rpm) or 4-pole (1750 rpm).

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel, 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel, 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Grinder Mechanism:
The grinder mechanism shall consist of two circular, hardened
cutter elements, one rotating and one stationary. The cutter
material shall be similar to an AISI 440C stainless steel with the
addition of cobalt, vanadium, and molybdenum for superior
abrasion resistance and a hardness of Rockwell C 58-62. The
rotating element shall be secured to the end of the pump shaft
directly below the impeller by a stainless steel bolt which is
mechanically prevented from loosening by a positively engaged
ratcheting washer assembly. It shall be keyed to the impeller so
that it rotates with the motor. The head of the securing bolt shall
be effectively recessed within the cutter element bore to prevent
disruption of the flow stream and catching of solid material in the
wastewater.
The stationary element shall be secured to the Self Cleaning
Wear Plate and positioned so that it is concentric to and aligned
with the rotating element. Both elements shall incorporate a
sinusoidal wave pattern at the grinding interface to create a
shearing and cutting action between the elements as the rotating
cutter spins. The rotating cutter shall incorporate an integrated
solids deflector to prevent items such as plastic bags from
covering the grinder assembly and starving the pump. All
wastewater being pumped by the impeller shall be drawn through
the grinder mechanism by the natural suction of the pump
impeller and reduced to a particle size approximately 1/8 inch.
The grinder mechanism shall not require routine adjustments
throughout the life of the grinder assembly.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi open multi vane design
with a solids passage size sufficient to prevent clogging on the
wastewater material that has passed through the integrated
grinder assembly. The impeller material shall be gray cast iron,
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller shall have a
slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which also holds the
rotating cutter element. The impeller shall be dynamically
balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to provide smooth vibration
free operation.

SPECIFICATIONS
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock style wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed to hold and
secure the stationary cutter firmly in place, concentric to the
rotating cutter.
The impeller side of the wear plate shall
incorporate an outwardly spiraling V-shaped groove to shred and
force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with three stainless steel securing screws and three stainless
steel adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment
between the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump
efficiency. Adjustment to allow for wear and to restore peak
pumping performance shall be easily accomplished in the field
utilizing standard tools, and without requiring disassembly of the
pump. The use of fixed or non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or
systems that require disassembly of the pump or shimming of the
impeller to facilitate adjustment shall not be considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.
Discharge size shall be 1 ¼ inch. The discharge flange design
shall permit attachment to the ABS guide rail system, and shall
also accept a 1 1/4'” NPT male fitting when the pump is supplied
with an available NPT adapter kit. The minimum working pressure
of the volute and pump assembly shall be 10 bar (145 psi).
HIGH EFFICIENCY MOTOR
The motor shall be designed in accordance with the efficiency
standards IEC 60034-30, and NEMA Premium*. Motor rating
tests shall be conducted in accordance with IEC 60034-2-1
requirements and shall be certified accurate and correct by a third
party certifying agency. A certificate shall be available upon
request.
* IE3 and NEMA Premium efficiency do not specifically apply to single phase motors,
only three phase motors. The PE motors are designed to meet expected IE3 efficiency
levels for single phase motors in future revisions of the IEC 60034-30 standard.

The High Efficiency motor shall be housed in a water tight gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) enclosure
capable of continuous submerged operation underwater to a
depth of 20 meters (65 feet), and shall have an IP68 protection
rating. The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design,
NEMA type B. The copper stator windings shall be insulated with
o
moisture resistant Class H insulation materials, rated for 180 C
o
(356 F). The stator shall be press fitted into the stator housing.
The use of bolts, pins or other fastening devices requiring
penetration of the stator housing is unacceptable. The rotor bars
and short circuit rings shall be made of cast aluminum.
The motor shall be designed for continuous duty. The maximum
o
continuous temperature of the pumped liquid shall be 40 C
o
o
o
(104 F), and intermittently up to 50 C (122 F). The motor shall be
capable of handling up to 12 evenly spaced starts per hour
without overheating. The service factor (as defined by the NEMA
MG1 standard) shall be a minimum of 1.2. The motor shall have a
voltage tolerance of +/- 10% from nominal and shall be FM and
CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I, Groups C & D
hazardous locations. The surface temperature rating shall be
T3C.
The motor shall be capable of operating completely submerged,
at full rated power continuously without the need for de-rating or
reduced duty cycle. It shall be self cooling via the process fluid
surrounding the motor. The motor shall have a NEMA Class A
temperature rise

Motor Starting System: The single phase motor shall be started
by a high torque “capacitor start-capacitor run” type starting circuit
housed in the pump control panel. The start circuit shall work in
conjunction with the motor and control system to provide high
starting and running torque capability of the motor, as well as
consistent and predictable direction of rotation. The factory
supplied start kit shall consist of a start relay, start capacitor(s)
run capacitor(s) and a dropping resistor, as well as the required
mounting brackets for the components.
The start relay shall be the voltage sensing type, capable of
sensing the “back EMF” developed by the start winding during
motor starting. The relay shall respond to the applicable level of
back EMF by switching the capacitor system from start mode to
run mode during the start sequence; removing the start
capacitor(s) from the circuit, and leaving the run capacitor(s)
connected. In the event exceptional torque is required during
motor operation the relay shall be capable of bringing the start
capacitor portion of the circuit back on line to provide a short
torque boost for the motor.
Start and Run Capacitors shall be sized with a microfarad value
suitable for the particular characteristics of the high efficiency PE
Series motor. The selected values shall provide the ideal balance
between motor torque and inrush current. Capacitors shall be
premium grade devices, with a voltage rating of 330 volt
minimum.
A dropping resistor shall be connected across the terminals of the
start capacitor system to bleed down residual voltage in the
capacitor(s) between motor starts.
Start circuits using simple capacitor start, permanent split
capacitor, or shaded pole technology in lieu of capacitor startcapacitor run technology shall not be considered equal due to
their inherent characteristic of lower motor torque capability than
the capacitor start-capacitor run system.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide

SPECIFICATIONS
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller and
volute, and by the grinder mechanism ahead of the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with pump out vanes
to eject any fibrous material that attempts to lodge behind the
impeller. The volute housing adjacent to the back side pumping
vanes of the impeller shall incorporate an outward spiraling
groove as described in the “Self Cleaning Wear Plate” section
above, to eject solid materials from the mechanical seal area.
Fibrous material which attempts to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively ejected by
the system preventing interference with the mechanical seal. The
Seal Protection System shall operate whenever the pump
operates, and shall not require adjustment or maintenance in
order to function. Grinder pump designs which do not incorporate
an active system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not
be considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed

.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1.2 times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable
sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass
(C3604) compression nut shall be threaded into to the cast iron
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.
Cable entry designs which utilize potting compounds to provide a
water tight seal, or those which do not allow the cable to be easily
changed in the field shall not be considered equal.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel, 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel, 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Grinder Mechanism:
The grinder mechanism shall consist of two circular, hardened
cutter elements, one rotating and one stationary. The cutter
material shall be similar to an AISI 440C stainless steel with the
addition of cobalt, vanadium, and molybdenum for superior
abrasion resistance and a hardness of Rockwell C 58-62. The
rotating element shall be secured to the end of the pump shaft
directly below the impeller by a stainless steel bolt which is
mechanically prevented from loosening by a positively engaged
ratcheting washer assembly. It shall be keyed to the impeller so
that it rotates with the motor. The head of the securing bolt shall
be effectively recessed within the cutter element bore to prevent
disruption of the flow stream and catching of solid material in the
wastewater.
The stationary element shall be secured to the Self Cleaning
Wear Plate and positioned so that it is concentric to and aligned
with the rotating element. Both elements shall incorporate a
sinusoidal wave pattern at the grinding interface to create a
shearing and cutting action between the elements as the rotating
cutter spins. The rotating cutter shall incorporate an integrated
solids deflector to prevent items such as plastic bags from
covering the grinder assembly and starving the pump. All
wastewater being pumped by the impeller shall be drawn through
the grinder mechanism by the natural suction of the pump
impeller and reduced to a particle size approximately 1/8 inch.
The grinder mechanism shall not require routine adjustments
throughout the life of the grinder assembly.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi open multi vane design
with a solids passage size sufficient to prevent clogging on the
wastewater material that has passed through the integrated
grinder assembly. The impeller material shall be gray cast iron,
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller shall have a
slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which also holds the
rotating cutter element. The impeller shall be dynamically
balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to provide smooth vibration
free operation.

SPECIFICATIONS
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock style wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed to hold and
secure the stationary cutter firmly in place, concentric to the
rotating cutter.
The impeller side of the wear plate shall
incorporate an outwardly spiraling V-shaped groove to shred and
force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with three stainless steel securing screws and three stainless
steel adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment
between the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump
efficiency. Adjustment to allow for wear and to restore peak
pumping performance shall be easily accomplished in the field
utilizing standard tools, and without requiring disassembly of the
pump. The use of fixed or non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or
systems that require disassembly of the pump or shimming of the
impeller to facilitate adjustment shall not be considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design

surrounding the motor. The motor shall have a NEMA Class A
temperature rise
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller and
volute, and by the grinder mechanism ahead of the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with pump out vanes
to eject any fibrous material that attempts to lodge behind the
impeller. The volute housing adjacent to the back side pumping
vanes of the impeller shall incorporate an outward spiraling
groove as described in the “Self Cleaning Wear Plate” section
above, to eject solid materials from the mechanical seal area.
Fibrous material which attempts to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively ejected by
the system preventing interference with the mechanical seal. The
Seal Protection System shall operate whenever the pump
operates, and shall not require adjustment or maintenance in

SPECIFICATIONS
order to function. Grinder pump designs which do not incorporate
an active system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not
be considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1.2 times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable
sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass

EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.
Cable entry designs which utilize potting compounds to provide a
water tight seal, or those which do not allow the cable to be easily
changed in the field shall not be considered equal.

operational reliability and energy efficiency.
GUIDE RAIL BASE ASSEMBLY (optional)
There shall be no need for personnel to enter the wet well to
remove or reinstall the pump(s). In a wet pit installation, the
discharge base & elbow assembly shall be permanently installed
in the wet well and connected to the discharge piping. In order to
prevent binding or separation of the pump from the guide rail
system, the pump(s) shall connect to the guide rail base
automatically and firmly, guided by one 2 inch guide pipe
extending from the base elbow to the top of the station. Systems
using guide cable in lieu of rigid guide bars or pipes shall not be
considered acceptable. The sliding guide bracket shall be a
separate part of the pumping unit.
A field replaceable Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber profile gasket or o-ring
shall accomplish positive sealing of the pump flange/guide rail
bracket to the discharge elbow. Base assemblies which rely solely
on metal to metal contact between the pump flange and discharge
base elbow as a means of sealing are inherently leak prone, and
shall not be considered equal. No portion of the pump shall bear
directly on the floor of the sump. The guide rail system shall be
available in an optional non-sparking version, approved by
Factory Mutual for use in NEC Class 1, Division 1, Group C&D
hazardous locations.

PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel, 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel, 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Grinder Mechanism:
The grinder mechanism shall consist of two circular, hardened
cutter elements, one rotating and one stationary. The cutter
material shall be similar to an AISI 440C stainless steel with the
addition of cobalt, vanadium, and molybdenum for superior
abrasion resistance and a hardness of Rockwell C 58-62. The
rotating element shall be secured to the end of the pump shaft
directly below the impeller by a stainless steel bolt which is
mechanically prevented from loosening by a positively engaged
ratcheting washer assembly. It shall be keyed to the impeller so
that it rotates with the motor. The head of the securing bolt shall
be effectively recessed within the cutter element bore to prevent
disruption of the flow stream and catching of solid material in the
wastewater.
The stationary element shall be secured to the Self Cleaning
Wear Plate and positioned so that it is concentric to and aligned
with the rotating element. Both elements shall incorporate a
sinusoidal wave pattern at the grinding interface to create a
shearing and cutting action between the elements as the rotating
cutter spins. The rotating cutter shall incorporate an integrated
solids deflector to prevent items such as plastic bags from
covering the grinder assembly and starving the pump. All
wastewater being pumped by the impeller shall be drawn through
the grinder mechanism by the natural suction of the pump
impeller and reduced to a particle size approximately 1/8 inch.
The grinder mechanism shall not require routine adjustments
throughout the life of the grinder assembly.
Impeller: The impeller shall be a semi open multi vane design
with a solids passage size sufficient to prevent clogging on the
wastewater material that has passed through the integrated
grinder assembly. The impeller material shall be gray cast iron,
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller shall have a
slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely
fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which also holds the
rotating cutter element. The impeller shall be dynamically
balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to provide smooth vibration
free operation.

SPECIFICATIONS
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock style wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed to hold and
secure the stationary cutter firmly in place, concentric to the
rotating cutter.
The impeller side of the wear plate shall
incorporate an outwardly spiraling V-shaped groove to shred and
force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with four stainless steel securing screws and four stainless steel
adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment between
the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump efficiency.
Adjustment to allow for wear and to restore peak pumping
performance shall be easily accomplished in the field utilizing
standard tools, and without requiring disassembly of the pump.
The use of fixed or non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or
systems that require disassembly of the pump or shimming of the
impeller to facilitate adjustment shall not be considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.
Discharge size shall be 2 inch. The discharge flange design shall
permit attachment to the ABS guide rail system, and shall also
accept 2” ANSI class 125 flanged fittings. The minimum working
pressure of the volute and pump assembly shall be 10 bar (145
psi).

surrounding the motor. The motor shall have a NEMA Class A
temperature rise
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller and
volute, and by the grinder mechanism ahead of the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with pump out vanes
to eject any fibrous material that attempts to lodge behind the
impeller. The volute housing adjacent to the back side pumping
vanes of the impeller shall incorporate an outward spiraling
groove as described in the “Self Cleaning Wear Plate” section
above, to eject solid materials from the mechanical seal area.
Fibrous material which attempts to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively ejected by
the system preventing interference with the mechanical seal. The
Seal Protection System shall operate whenever the pump
operates, and shall not require adjustment or maintenance in

SPECIFICATIONS
order to function. Grinder pump designs which do not incorporate
an active system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not
be considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1.2 times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable
sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a

EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.
Cable entry designs which utilize potting compounds to provide a
water tight seal, or those which do not allow the cable to be easily
changed in the field shall not be considered equal.

Furnish and install ______ ABS Model AS ______ Pump(s) with a ______ motor to deliver _____
USGPM against a total head of ______ feet. The motor shall be ______ HP, ______ RPM connected for
operation on a ______ volt, 60 HZ, ______ phase service. The motor shall be an integral part of the
pumping unit. The pump discharge shall be _____ horizontal. The pump(s) shall be of the submersible
type with an integral motor and pumping unit. The pump(s) shall have a semi-open vortex impeller
capable of handling solids laden fluids without clogging.
PUMP CONSTRUCTION:
Impeller: The impeller shall be constructed of corrosion resistant chilled gray iron and shall be semiopen, non-clogging, dynamically balanced multi-vane design capable of passing a minimum of ______
inch spherical solids. The impeller shall have a slip fit onto a shaft and drive key and shall be fastened by
a stainless steel bolt.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be constructed of gray cast iron with smooth internal surfaces free
of rough spots or flashing. The volute shall have a horizontal discharge.
O-Rings and Fasteners: All mating surfaces of the pump and motor shall be machined and fitted with
BUNA-N O-Rings where water sealing is required. Sealing shall be accomplished by the proper fitting of
the parts not by compression or special torque requirements. All fasteners shall be 316 stainless steel.
Shaft and Bearings: The common pump and motor shaft shall be 420 stainless steel supported on the
impeller end by a heavy duty single row ball bearing on 1.3 - 2.4 hp pumps, or a heavy duty double row
ball bearing on 3.4 - 4 hp pumps. The opposite end of the shaft is supported on a sealed single row ball
bearing (all motors).
Shaft Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with two (2) seals. The lower seal (pump side) shall be of the
mechanical type with silicon carbide faces. The upper seal shall be a lip type seal. The seals shall be
separated by an oil chamber providing cooling and lubrication of the seals, and a barrier between the
pumped fluid, and the dry motor chamber.
Seal Failure Warning System: A probe shall be provided in the oil chamber to detect the presence of
water in the oil. A solid-state device mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate enclosure shall
send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the probe. If water enters the oil chamber in sufficient
quantity to warrant concern, the probe shall activate a warning light in the control panel.
MOTOR CONSTRUCTION:
The motor shall be air-filled and shall have Class “F” insulation. The rotor and stator shall be enclosed in
a cast iron outer housing. Bi-metallic thermal switches shall be imbedded in each phase of the winding to
sense high temperature. The rating of the switch shall be 130••C +/- 5••C. The control circuit shall be
connected through the bi-metallic switches so the motor is shut down should a high temperature condition
exist. The switches shall be self-resetting when the motor cools. Power cable shall be UL and CSA
approved.
APPROVALS
All models shall be UL and CSA approved. All models shall be FM approved for Class I Division I Group
C and D.

GENERAL
ABS Model AS ______ Pump(s) with a ______ motor to deliver
USGPM
Furnish and install
against a total head of
feet. The motor shall be ______ HP, 3450 RPM connected for operation on a
______ volt, 60 HZ, ______ phase service. The motor shall be an integral part of the pumping unit. The
pump discharge shall be ______ horizontal. The pump(s) shall be of the submersible type with an integral
motor and pumping unit. The volute shall have an adjustable bottom plate. The bottom plate shall be cast
with grooves threading outward from the center opening of the plate to the outer diameter. The pump(s)
shall have a semi-open impeller capable of handling solids laden fluids without clogging. The suction inlet
shall have a waveform with the leading edge of the impeller overlapping the waveform. Should a textile
or plastic sheet plug the inlet, the shearing action of the leading edge of the impeller against the wave
form of the inlet will cut away enough of the material to clear the inlet.
PUMP CONSTRUCTION:
Impeller: The impeller shall be constructed of corrosion resistant chilled gray iron and shall be of the
semi-open, non-clogging, dynamically balanced single-vane design capable of passing a minimum of
______ inch spherical solids. The impeller shall have a slip fit onto a shaft and drive key and shall be
fastened by a stainless steel bolt.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: (CB System) The pump shall be equipped with a self cleaning wear plate
constructed from gray cast iron, ASTM A-48, Class 40. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute with
three stainless steel screws to permit close tolerance fit between the wear plate and impeller for maximum
pump efficiency. The wear plate shall be designed with a wave shaped inlet and an outward spiral V-shaped
groove on the side facing the impeller, to shred and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through
the pump discharge.

Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be constructed of gray cast iron with smooth internal surfaces free
of rough spots or flashing. The volute shall have a horizontal discharge.
O-Rings and Fasteners: All mating surfaces of the pump and motor shall be machined and fitted with
BUNA-N O-Rings where water sealing is required. Sealing shall be accomplished by the proper fitting of
the parts not by compression or special torque requirements. All fasteners shall be 316 stainless steel.
Shaft and Bearings: The common pump and motor shaft shall be 420 stainless steel supported on the
impeller end by a heavy duty single row ball bearing on 2.1-2.4 hp pumps, or a heavy duty double row
ball bearing on 4.0 – 4.7 hp pumps. The opposite end of the shaft is supported on a sealed single row
ball bearing (all motors).
Shaft Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with two (2) seals. The lower seal (pump side) shall be of the
mechanical type with silicon carbide faces. The upper seal shall be a lip type seal. The seals shall be
separated by an oil chamber providing cooling and lubrication of the seals, and a barrier between the
pumped fluid, and the dry motor chamber.
Seal Failure Warning System: A probe shall be provided in the oil chamber to detect the presence of
water in the oil. A solid-state device mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate enclosure shall
send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the probe. If water enters the oil chamber in sufficient
quantity to warrant concern, the probe shall activate a warning light in the control panel.

The ABS Contrablock Plus
Our ABS EffeX range makes use of a completely new impeller concept called ContraBlock Plus. This
solution takes the best of the tried and tested designs and adds new functionality to enhance the levels
of clog resistance above that of any other supplier in the market. In addition, the free solids passage is
never reduced below 3” (75 mm) to give a further level of protection against clogging.
Mechanical Design
The ABS ContraBlock Plus is not dependent on speed or clearance to maintain rag handling. The ABS
ContraBlock Plus system consists of a bottom plate which has a serrated entrance and an outwardly
spiraling groove on the face and an impeller designed with a sloping edge and a large overlapping single
blade.
The ABS ContraBlock Plus prevents materials from roping and clogging the impeller eye by
shredding the material as it is pulled into and spun against the serrated edges of the bottom plate
entrance. The sloping leading edge of the impeller pulls the shredded material up onto the impeller
blade so that it does not become bound between the bottom of the impeller and bottom plate. Should
material be caught between the impeller and bottom plate, the outward spiraling groove on the face of
the bottom plate will track the material outward and into the volute to be safely pumped through the
pump discharge.
The binding forces of textiles, plastics and other stringy matter are quickly reduced by the ABS
ContraBlock Plus where the power reserves of the motor are always adequate to clear the pump of
material as it is bent, broken or torn between the shearing edges of the bottom plate and impeller.

forces. The pump shall be suitable for either vertical or horizontal
dry pit installation without requiring any internal modifications.
PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel, 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel, 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Impeller: The ABS ContraBlock Plus impeller shall be of gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller
shall be of the semi-open, non-clogging, single vane design,
meeting the Ten State Standards requirement for minimum solids
passage size of 3 inches. The impeller shall be capable of
passing a minimum of 3 inch diameter spherical solids as are
commonly found in waste water. The impeller shall have a slip fit
onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely fastened
to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which is mechanically
prevented from loosening by a positively engaged ratcheting
washer assembly. The head of the impeller bolt shall be
effectively recessed within the impeller bore to prevent disruption
of the flow stream and loss of hydraulic efficiency. The impeller
shall be dynamically balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to
provide smooth vibration free operation. Impeller designs which
do not meet the Ten State Standards requirement for 3 inch solids
passage size, those that rely on retractable impeller designs to
pass 3 inch solids, or those that rely on fins or pins protruding into
the suction path to assist in the handling of fibrous material shall
not be considered equal.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock Plus wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed with an inlet
incorporating strategically placed cutting grooves and an outward
spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to shred
and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with three stainless steel securing screws and three stainless
steel adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment
between the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump
efficiency. The wear plate shall be factory mounted to the volute
in a fixed position with metal to metal contact on machined
surfaces to insure optimal clearance and efficiency at startup.
Future adjustments shall be easily accomplished by removing
three securing screws and rotating the plate 45 degrees to the
adjustment position. Adjustment to allow for wear and restore
peak pumping performance shall then be accomplished using
standard tools, and without requiring disassembly of the pump.
The use of fixed or non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or

1

SPECIFICATIONS
systems that require disassembly of the pump or shimming of the
impeller to facilitate adjustment shall not be considered equal.
The suction flange shall be integrated into the wear plate and its
bolt holes shall be drilled and threaded to accept standard 4 inch
ANSI class 125 flanged fittings.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.
Discharge size shall be 3 inch. The discharge flange design shall
permit
attachment
to
standard
ANSI
or
metric
flanges/appurtenances. The discharge flange shall be slotted to
accept both 3inch ANSI class 125 (rotated 22.5 degrees) and
metric DN80 (PN 10) flanged fittings. Proprietary or non standard
flange dimensions shall not be considered acceptable. The
minimum working pressure of the volute and pump assembly shall
be 10 bar (145 psi).
HIGH EFFICIENCY MOTOR
The motor shall be designed in accordance with the efficiency
standards IEC 60034-30, and NEMA Premium*. Motor rating
tests shall be conducted in accordance with IEC 60034-2-1
requirements and shall be certified accurate and correct by a third
party certifying agency. A certificate shall be available upon
request.
* IE3 and NEMA Premium efficiency do not specifically apply to single phase motors,
only three phase motors. The PE motors are designed to meet expected IE3 efficiency
levels for single phase motors in future revisions of the IEC 60034-30 standard.

The High Efficiency motor shall be housed in a water tight gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) enclosure
capable of continuous submerged operation underwater to a
depth of 20 meters (65 feet), and shall have an IP68 protection
rating. The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design,
NEMA type B. The copper stator windings shall be insulated with
o
moisture resistant Class H insulation materials, rated for 180 C
o
(356 F). The stator shall be press fitted into the stator housing.
The use of bolts, pins or other fastening devices requiring
penetration of the stator housing is unacceptable. The rotor bars
and short circuit rings shall be made of cast aluminum.
The motor shall be designed for continuous duty. The maximum
o
continuous temperature of the pumped liquid shall be 40 C
o
o
o
(104 F), and intermittently up to 50 C (122 F). The motor shall be
capable of handling up to 12 evenly spaced starts per hour
without overheating. The service factor (as defined by the NEMA
MG1 standard) shall be 1.3 in wet pit service and 1.15 in dry pit
service. The motor shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10% from
nominal, and shall be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC
Class I, Division I, Groups C & D hazardous locations. The
surface temperature rating shall be T3C.
The motor shall be capable of operating, completely submerged,
partially submerged, or unsubmerged. For submerged (wet pit)
applications, the motor shall be self cooling via the process fluid
surrounding the motor. For unsubmerged (dry pit) applications,
an integrated oil cooling system shall be utilized to enhance heat
transfer, and allow the motor to operate at full rated power
continuously without the need for de-rating or reduced duty cycle.
No external coolant supply or external cooling jacket shall be
required for dry pit applications. The motor shall have a NEMA
Class A temperature rise for submerged service, and class B rise
for dry pit service, providing cool operation under all operating
conditions.

conjunction with the motor and control system to provide high
starting and running torque capability of the motor, as well as
consistent and predictable direction of rotation. The factory
supplied start kit shall consist of a start relay, start capacitor(s)
run capacitor(s) and a dropping resistor, as well as the required
mounting brackets for the components.
The start relay shall be the voltage sensing type, capable of
sensing the back EMF developed by the start winding during
motor starting. The relay shall respond to the applicable level of
back EMF by switching the capacitor system from start mode to
run mode during the start sequence; removing the start
capacitor(s) from the circuit, and leaving the run capacitor(s)
connected. In the event exceptional torque is required during
motor operation the relay shall be capable of bringing the start
capacitor portion of the circuit back on line to provide a short
torque boost for the motor.
Start and Run capacitors shall be sized with a microfarad value
suitable for the particular characteristics of the high efficiency PE
Series motor. The selected values shall provide the ideal balance
between motor torque and inrush current. Capacitors shall be
premium grade devices, with a voltage rating of 330 volt
minimum.
A dropping resistor shall be connected across the terminals of the
start capacitor system to bleed down residual voltage in the
capacitor(s) between motor starts.
Start circuits using simple capacitor start, permanent split
capacitor, or shaded pole technology in lieu of capacitor startcapacitor run technology shall not be considered equal due to
their inherent characteristic of lower motor torque capability than
the capacitor start-capacitor run system.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from

1

SPECIFICATIONS
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.

Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC

relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.

assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.

housed in the pump control panel. The start circuit shall work in
conjunction with the motor and control system to provide high
starting and running torque capability of the motor, as well as
consistent and predictable direction of rotation. The factory
supplied start kit shall consist of a start relay, start capacitor(s)
run capacitor(s) and a dropping resistor, as well as the required
mounting brackets for the components.
The start relay shall be the voltage sensing type, capable of
sensing the back EMF developed by the start winding during
motor starting. The relay shall respond to the applicable level of
back EMF by switching the capacitor system from start mode to
run mode during the start sequence; removing the start
capacitor(s) from the circuit, and leaving the run capacitor(s)
connected. In the event exceptional torque is required during
motor operation the relay shall be capable of bringing the start
capacitor portion of the circuit back on line to provide a short
torque boost for the motor.
Start and Run capacitors shall be sized with a microfarad value
suitable for the particular characteristics of the high efficiency PE
Series motor. The selected values shall provide the ideal balance
between motor torque and inrush current. Capacitors shall be
premium grade devices, with a voltage rating of 330 volt
minimum.
A dropping resistor shall be connected across the terminals of the
start capacitor system to bleed down residual voltage in the
capacitor(s) between motor starts.
Start circuits using simple capacitor start, permanent split
capacitor, or shaded pole technology in lieu of capacitor startcapacitor run technology shall not be considered equal due to
their inherent characteristic of lower motor torque capability than
the capacitor start-capacitor run system.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall

SPECIFICATIONS
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and

with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass
(C3604) compression nut shall be threaded into to the cast iron
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.

the station. Systems using guide cable in lieu of rigid guide bars
or pipes shall not be considered acceptable. The sliding guide
bracket shall be a separate part of the pumping unit, capable of
being attached to standard 3 inch ANSI class 125 or metric DN80
pump flanges, so that the pump mounting is non proprietary, and
any pump with a standard discharge flange can be mounted on
the base assembly. Base or bracket assemblies with proprietary
or non standard flange dimensions shall not be considered
acceptable.
A field replaceable Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber profile gasket or o-ring
shall accomplish positive sealing of the pump flange/guide rail
bracket to the discharge elbow. Base assemblies which rely solely
on metal to metal contact between the pump flange and discharge
base elbow as a means of sealing are inherently leak prone, and

environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal

SPECIFICATIONS
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable
sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass
(C3604) compression nut shall be threaded into to the cast iron
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.

capacitor, or shaded pole technology in lieu of capacitor startcapacitor run technology shall not be considered equal due to
their inherent characteristic of lower motor torque capability than
the capacitor start-capacitor run system.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The

SPECIFICATIONS
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump

Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.

EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall

The motor shall be capable of operating, completely submerged,
partially submerged, or unsubmerged. For submerged (wet pit)
applications, the motor shall be self cooling via the process fluid
surrounding the motor. For unsubmerged (dry pit) applications,
an integrated oil cooling system shall be utilized to enhance heat
transfer, and allow the motor to operate at full rated power
continuously without the need for de-rating or reduced duty cycle.
No external coolant supply or external cooling jacket shall be
required for dry pit applications. The motor shall have a NEMA
Class A temperature rise for submerged service, and class B rise
for dry pit service, providing cool operation under all operating
conditions.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
connected in series and set to open at 140oC +/- 5oC (284oF).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.

Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber

SPECIFICATIONS
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable
sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass
(C3604) compression nut shall be threaded into to the cast iron
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.

corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.
Cable entry designs which utilize potting compounds to provide a
water tight seal, or those which do not allow the cable to be easily
changed in the field shall not be considered equal.

a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the

SPECIFICATIONS
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable
sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass
(C3604) compression nut shall be threaded into to the cast iron
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.

one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.

unit shall be fitted with a ________________ assembly,
feet long for lifting the pump. The working load
rating of the lifting system shall be a minimum of 50%
greater than the pump weight. Each pump motor shall be
equipped with _____ feet of power and control cable sized
in accordance with NEC and CSA standards.
PUMP DESIGN
The heavy duty submersible wastewater pump(s) shall be capable
of handling raw unscreened sewage, storm water, and other
similar solids-laden fluids without clogging. The pump shall be
driven by a High Efficiency single phase, providing the highest
levels of operational reliability and energy efficiency.
GUIDE RAIL BASE ASSEMBLY (wet pit installation)
There shall be no need for personnel to enter the wet well to
remove or reinstall the pump(s). In a wet pit installation, the
discharge base & elbow assembly shall be permanently installed
in the wet well and connected to the discharge piping. In order to
prevent binding or separation of the pump from the guide rail
system, the pump(s) shall connect to the guide rail base
automatically and firmly, guided by one 2 inch guide pipe (two 2
inch pipes optional) extending from the base elbow to the top of
the station. Systems using guide cable in lieu of rigid guide bars
or pipes shall not be considered acceptable. The sliding guide
bracket shall be a separate part of the pumping unit, capable of
being attached to standard 4 inch ANSI class 125 or metric
DN100 pump flanges, so that the pump mounting is non
proprietary, and any pump with a standard discharge flange can
be mounted on the base assembly. Base or bracket assemblies
with proprietary or non standard flange dimensions shall not be
considered acceptable.
A field replaceable Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber profile gasket or o-ring
shall accomplish positive sealing of the pump flange/guide rail
bracket to the discharge elbow. Base assemblies which rely solely
on metal to metal contact between the pump flange and discharge
base elbow as a means of sealing are inherently leak prone, and

dry pit installation without requiring any internal modifications.
PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel, 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel, 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Impeller: The ABS ContraBlock Plus impeller shall be of gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller
shall be of the semi-open, non-clogging, single vane design,
meeting the Ten State Standards requirement for minimum solids
passage size of 3 inches. The impeller shall be capable of
passing a minimum of 3 inch diameter spherical solids as are
commonly found in waste water. The impeller shall have a slip fit
onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely fastened
to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which is mechanically
prevented from loosening by a positively engaged ratcheting
washer assembly. The head of the impeller bolt shall be
effectively recessed within the impeller bore to prevent disruption
of the flow stream and loss of hydraulic efficiency. The impeller
shall be dynamically balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to
provide smooth vibration free operation. Impeller designs which
do not meet the Ten State Standards requirement for 3 inch solids
passage size, those that rely on retractable impeller designs to
pass 3 inch solids, or those that rely on fins or pins protruding into
the suction path to assist in the handling of fibrous material shall
not be considered equal.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock Plus wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed with an inlet
incorporating strategically placed cutting grooves and an outward
spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to shred
and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with three stainless steel securing screws and three stainless
steel adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment
between the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump
efficiency. The wear plate shall be factory mounted to the volute
in a fixed position with metal to metal contact on machined
surfaces to insure optimal clearance and efficiency at startup.
Future adjustments shall be easily accomplished by removing
three securing screws and rotating the plate 45 degrees to the
adjustment position. Adjustment to allow for wear and restore
peak pumping performance shall then be accomplished using
standard tools, and without requiring disassembly of the pump.

These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class

environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.

The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not

water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed

assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.

conjunction with the motor and control system to provide high
starting and running torque capability of the motor, as well as
consistent and predictable direction of rotation. The factory
supplied start kit shall consist of a start relay, start capacitor(s)
run capacitor(s) and a dropping resistor, as well as the required
mounting brackets for the components.
The start relay shall be the voltage sensing type, capable of
sensing the back EMF developed by the start winding during
motor starting. The relay shall respond to the applicable level of
back EMF by switching the capacitor system from start mode to
run mode during the start sequence; removing the start
capacitor(s) from the circuit, and leaving the run capacitor(s)
connected. In the event exceptional torque is required during
motor operation the relay shall be capable of bringing the start
capacitor portion of the circuit back on line to provide a short
torque boost for the motor.
Start and Run capacitors shall be sized with a microfarad value
suitable for the particular characteristics of the high efficiency PE
Series motor. The selected values shall provide the ideal balance
between motor torque and inrush current. Capacitors shall be
premium grade devices, with a voltage rating of 330 volt
minimum.
A dropping resistor shall be connected across the terminals of the
start capacitor system to bleed down residual voltage in the
capacitor(s) between motor starts.
Start circuits using simple capacitor start, permanent split
capacitor, or shaded pole technology in lieu of capacitor startcapacitor run technology shall not be considered equal due to
their inherent characteristic of lower motor torque capability than
the capacitor start-capacitor run system.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from

1

SPECIFICATIONS
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.

all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable
sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass
(C3604) compression nut shall be threaded into to the cast iron
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.
Cable entry designs which utilize potting compounds to provide a
water tight seal, or those which do not allow the cable to be easily
changed in the field shall not be considered equal.

connected in series and set to open at 140oC +/- 5oC (284oF).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection

SPECIFICATIONS
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry System: The cable entry system shall consist of
submersible plug assembly which allows the cable be easily
disconnected from the pump for service or replacement. Cable

sealing shall be accomplished by a Nitrile compression grommet
with both cylindrical and conical sealing surfaces, flanked by a
stainless steel washer and an integrated strain relief. A brass
(C3604) compression nut shall be threaded into to the cast iron
EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) cable plug housing,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry housing. Cable
conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.
Cable entry designs which utilize potting compounds to provide a
water tight seal, or those which do not allow the cable to be easily
changed in the field shall not be considered equal.

six vane design, meeting the Ten State Standards requirement for
minimum solids passage size of 3 inches. The impeller shall be
capable of passing a minimum of 3.9 inch diameter spherical
solids as are commonly found in waste water. The impeller shall
have a slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be
securely fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which is
mechanically prevented from loosening by a positively engaged
ratcheting washer assembly. The head of the impeller bolt shall
be effectively recessed within the impeller bore to prevent
disruption of the flow stream and loss of hydraulic efficiency. The
impeller shall be dynamically balanced to the ISO 10816 standard
to provide smooth vibration free operation. Impeller designs which
do not meet the Ten State Standards requirement for 3 inch solids
passage size, those that rely on retractable impeller designs to
pass 3 inch solids, or those that rely on fins or pins protruding into
the suction path to assist in the handling of fibrous material shall
not be considered equal.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.

permit
attachment
to
standard
ANSI
or
metric
flanges/appurtenances. The discharge flange shall be slotted to
accept both 4 inch ANSI class 125 and metric DN100 (PN 10)
flanged fittings. The suction flange shall be integrated into the
volute and its bolt holes shall be drilled and threaded to accept 4
inch ANSI class 125 fittings. Proprietary or non standard flange
dimensions shall not be considered acceptable. The minimum
working pressure of the volute and pump assembly shall be 10
bar (145 psi).

standards IEC 60034-30, and NEMA Premium*. Motor rating
tests shall be conducted in accordance with IEC 60034-2-1
requirements and shall be certified accurate and correct by a third
party certifying agency. A certificate shall be available upon
request.
* IE3 and NEMA Premium efficiency do not specifically apply to single phase motors,
only three phase motors. The PE motors are designed to meet expected IE3 efficiency
levels for single phase motors in future revisions of the IEC 60034-30 standard.

The High Efficiency motor shall be housed in a water tight gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) enclosure
capable of continuous submerged operation underwater to a
depth of 20 meters (65 feet), and shall have an IP68 protection
rating. The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design,
NEMA type B. The copper stator windings shall be insulated with
o
moisture resistant Class H insulation materials, rated for 180 C
o
(356 F). The stator shall be press fitted into the stator housing.
The use of bolts, pins or other fastening devices requiring
penetration of the stator housing is unacceptable. The rotor bars
and short circuit rings shall be made of cast aluminum.
The motor shall be designed for continuous duty. The maximum
o
continuous temperature of the pumped liquid shall be 40 C
o
o
o
(104 F), and intermittently up to 50 C (122 F). The motor shall be
capable of handling up to 12 evenly spaced starts per hour
without overheating. The service factor (as defined by the NEMA
MG1 standard) shall be 1.3 in wet pit service and 1.15 in dry pit
service. The motor shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10% from
nominal, and shall be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC
Class I, Division I, Groups C & D hazardous locations. The
surface temperature rating shall be T3C.
The motor shall be capable of operating, completely submerged,
partially submerged, or unsubmerged. For submerged (wet pit)
applications, the motor shall be self cooling via the process fluid
surrounding the motor. For unsubmerged (dry pit) applications,
an integrated oil cooling system shall be utilized to enhance heat
transfer, and allow the motor to operate at full rated power
continuously without the need for de-rating or reduced duty cycle.
No external coolant supply or external cooling jacket shall be
required for dry pit applications. The motor shall have a NEMA
Class A temperature rise for submerged service, and class B rise
for dry pit service, providing cool operation under all operating
conditions.
Motor Starting System: The single phase motor shall be started
by a high torque “capacitor start-capacitor run” type starting circuit
housed in the pump control panel. The start circuit shall work in
conjunction with the motor and control system to provide high
starting and running torque capability of the motor, as well as
consistent and predictable direction of rotation. The factory
supplied start kit shall consist of a start relay, start capacitor(s)
run capacitor(s) and a dropping resistor, as well as the required
mounting brackets for the components.
The start relay shall be the voltage sensing type, capable of
sensing the back EMF developed by the start winding during
motor starting. The relay shall respond to the applicable level of
back EMF by switching the capacitor system from start mode to
run mode during the start sequence; removing the start
capacitor(s) from the circuit, and leaving the run capacitor(s)
connected. In the event exceptional torque is required during
motor operation the relay shall be capable of bringing the start
capacitor portion of the circuit back on line to provide a short
torque boost for the motor.

Start and Run capacitors shall be sized with a microfarad value
suitable for the particular characteristics of the high efficiency PE
Series motor. The selected values shall provide the ideal balance
between motor torque and inrush current. Capacitors shall be
premium grade devices, with a voltage rating of 330 volt
minimum.
A dropping resistor shall be connected across the terminals of the
start capacitor system to bleed down residual voltage in the
capacitor(s) between motor starts.
Start circuits using simple capacitor start, permanent split
capacitor, or shaded pole technology in lieu of capacitor startcapacitor run technology shall not be considered equal due to
their inherent characteristic of lower motor torque capability than
the capacitor start-capacitor run system.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The

SPECIFICATIONS
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.

conductors shall be terminated in copper pin connectors which
are separated and retained by a circular pin retainer fabricated
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF). Each pin shall
pass through its own hole in the pin retainer, maintaining perfect
alignment with the mating pins in the motor body.
The
corresponding motor body pin assembly shall be manufactured
from high dielectric strength Polyamid (30% GF), with copper
connector pins. The pin assembly shall be sealed with an o-ring
to prevent water entry into the motor, and retained in the motor
housing bore via a retaining ring. Attachment of the plug
assembly to the motor shall engage the corresponding copper
pins, creating a complete circuit between the motor and cable.
The plug assembly shall be fastened with stainless steel
fasteners, and shall be sealed by an o-ring.
The cable plug and sealed entry system as part of the motor shall
be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I,
Groups C & D hazardous locations. The system shall be anti
wicking by design, and shall prevent any water that enters the
cable through damage to the jacket from entering the motor.

BASE ASSEMBLY (dry pit installation)
In a dry pit installation, the pump shall be secured to a steel
support stand of suitable strength to support the weight of the
pump and resist any expected torsion, bending, or vibration
forces. The pump shall be suitable for either vertical or horizontal
dry pit installation without requiring any internal modifications.
PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Impeller: The ABS ContraBlock Plus impeller shall be of gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller
shall be of the semi-open, non-clogging, single vane design,
meeting the Ten State Standards requirement for minimum solids
passage size of 3 inches. The impeller shall be capable of
passing a minimum of 3.1 inch diameter spherical solids as are
commonly found in waste water. The impeller shall have a slip fit
onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely fastened
to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which is mechanically
prevented from loosening by a positively engaged ratcheting
washer assembly. The head of the impeller bolt shall be
effectively recessed within the impeller bore to prevent disruption
of the flow stream and loss of hydraulic efficiency. The impeller
shall be dynamically balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to
provide smooth vibration free operation. Impeller designs which
do not meet the Ten State Standards requirement for 3 inch solids
passage size, those that rely on retractable impeller designs to
pass 3 inch solids, or those that rely on fins or pins protruding into
the suction path to assist in the handling of fibrous material shall
not be considered equal.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock Plus wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed with an inlet
incorporating strategically placed cutting grooves and an outward
spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to shred
and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with three stainless steel securing screws and three stainless
steel adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment
between the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump
efficiency. The wear plate shall be factory mounted to the volute
in a fixed position with metal to metal contact on machined
surfaces to insure optimal clearance and efficiency at startup.

SPECIFICATIONS
Future adjustments shall be easily accomplished by removing
three securing screws and rotating the plate 45 degrees to the
adjustment position. Adjustment to allow for wear and restore
peak pumping performance shall then be accomplished using
standard tools, and without requiring disassembly of the pump.
The use of fixed or non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or
systems that require disassembly of the pump or shimming of the
impeller to facilitate adjustment shall not be considered equal.
The suction flange shall be integrated into the wear plate and its
bolt holes shall be drilled and threaded to accept standard 4 inch
ANSI class 125 flanged fittings.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.
Discharge size shall be as specified on the pump performance
curve. The discharge flange design shall permit attachment to
standard ANSI or metric flanges/appurtenances. The discharge
flange shall be slotted to accept both 4 inch ANSI class 125 and
metric DN100 (PN 10) metric flanged fittings. Proprietary or non
standard flange dimensions shall not be considered acceptable.
The minimum working pressure of the volute and pump assembly
shall be 10 bar (145 psi).
PREMIUM EFFICIENCY MOTOR
The Premium Efficiency motor shall meet efficiency standards in
accordance with IEC 60034-30, level IE3 and NEMA Premium*.
Motor rating tests shall be conducted in accordance with IEC
60034-2-1 requirements and shall be certified accurate and
correct by a third party certifying agency. A certificate shall be
available upon request.

*

IE3 and NEMA Premium efficiency levels are equivalent, however the NEMA
Premium standard is intended to cover dry installed motors only, not integrated
submersible motors.

The Premium Efficiency motor shall be housed in a water tight
gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) enclosure
capable of continuous submerged operation underwater to a
depth of 20 meters (65 feet), and shall have an IP68 protection
rating. The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design,
NEMA type B, Premium Efficiency. The copper stator windings
shall be insulated with moisture resistant Class H insulation
o
o
materials, rated for 180 C (356 F). The stator shall be press fitted
into the stator housing. The use of bolts, pins or other fastening
devices requiring penetration of the stator housing is
unacceptable. The rotor bars and short circuit rings shall be
made of cast aluminum.
The motor shall be designed for continuous duty. The maximum
o
continuous temperature of the pumped liquid shall be 40 C
o
o
o
(104 F), and intermittently up to 50 C (122 F). The motor shall be
capable of handling up to 15 evenly spaced starts per hour
without overheating. The service factor (as defined by the NEMA
MG1 standard) shall be 1.3 in wet pit service and 1.15 in dry pit
service. The motor shall have a voltage tolerance of +/- 10% from
nominal, and a phase to phase voltage imbalance tolerance of
1%. The motor shall be FM and CSA approved for use in NEC
Class I, Division I, Groups C & D hazardous locations. The
surface temperature rating shall be T3C. The motor shall meet the
requirements of NEMA MG1 Part 30 and 31 for operation on
PWM type Variable Frequency Drives.
The motor shall be capable of operating, completely submerged,
partially submerged, or unsubmerged. For submerged (wet pit)
applications, the motor shall be self cooling via the process fluid

surrounding the motor. For unsubmerged (dry pit) applications,
an integrated oil cooling system shall be utilized to enhance heat
transfer, and allow the motor to operate at full rated power
continuously without the need for de-rating or reduced duty cycle.
No external coolant supply or external cooling jacket shall be
required for dry pit applications. The motor shall have a NEMA
Class A temperature rise for submerged service, and class B rise
for dry pit service, providing cool operation under all operating
conditions.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
connected in series and set to open at 140oC +/- 5oC (284oF).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum

SPECIFICATIONS
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.

required for dry pit applications. The motor shall have a NEMA
Class A temperature rise for submerged service, and class B rise
for dry pit service, providing cool operation under all operating
conditions.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
o
o
o
connected in series and set to open at 140 C +/- 5 C (284 F).
They shall be connected to the control panel, and used in
conjunction with, and supplemental to, external motor overload
protection.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection

SPECIFICATIONS
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned between the primary
and secondary mechanical seals for detecting the presence of
water contamination within the chamber. The sensing chamber
shall be filled with environmentally safe non toxic oil. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is

There shall be no need for personnel to enter the wet well to
remove or reinstall the pump(s). In a wet pit installation, the
discharge base & elbow assembly shall be permanently installed
in the wet well and connected to the discharge piping. In order to
prevent binding or separation of the pump from the guide rail
system, the pump(s) shall connect to the guide rail base
automatically and firmly, guided by one 2 inch guide pipe (two 2
inch pipes optional) extending from the base elbow to the top of
the station. Systems using guide cable in lieu of rigid guide bars
or pipes shall not be considered acceptable. The sliding guide
bracket shall be a separate part of the pumping unit, capable of
being attached to standard 4 inch ANSI class 125 or metric
DN100 pump flanges, so that the pump mounting is non
proprietary, and any pump with a standard discharge flange can
be mounted on the base assembly. Base or bracket assemblies
with proprietary or non standard flange dimensions shall not be
considered acceptable.
A field replaceable Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber profile gasket or o-ring
shall accomplish positive sealing of the pump flange/guide rail
bracket to the discharge elbow. Base assemblies which rely solely
on metal to metal contact between the pump flange and discharge
base elbow as a means of sealing are inherently leak prone, and

forces. The pump shall be suitable for either vertical or horizontal
dry pit installation without requiring any internal modifications.
PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Impeller: The ABS ContraBlock Plus impeller shall be of gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller
shall be of the semi-open, non-clogging, single vane design,
meeting the Ten State Standards requirement for minimum solids
passage size of 3 inches. The impeller shall be capable of
passing a minimum of 3.9 inch diameter spherical solids as are
commonly found in waste water. The impeller shall have a slip fit
onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely fastened
to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which is mechanically
prevented from loosening by a positively engaged ratcheting
washer assembly. The head of the impeller bolt shall be

of the flow stream and loss of hydraulic efficiency. The impeller
shall be dynamically balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to
provide smooth vibration free operation. Impeller designs which
do not meet the Ten State Standards requirement for 3 inch solids
passage size, those that rely on retractable impeller designs to
pass 3 inch solids, or those that rely on fins or pins protruding into
the suction path to assist in the handling of fibrous material shall
not be considered equal.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock Plus wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed with an inlet
incorporating strategically placed cutting grooves and an outward
spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to shred

pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with four stainless steel securing screws and four stainless steel
adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment between
the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump efficiency.
Adjustment to allow for wear and restore peak pumping
performance shall be accomplished using standard tools, and
without requiring disassembly of the pump. The use of fixed or
non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or systems that require

SPECIFICATIONS
disassembly of the pump or shimming of the impeller to facilitate
adjustment shall not be considered equal. The suction flange shall
be integrated into the wear plate and its bolt holes shall be drilled
and threaded to accept standard 4 inch ANSI class 125 flanged
fittings.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.
Discharge size shall be as specified on the pump performance
curve. The discharge flange design shall permit attachment to
standard ANSI or metric flanges/appurtenances. The discharge
flange shall be slotted to accept both 4 inch ANSI class 125 and
metric DN100 (PN 10) metric flanged fittings. Proprietary or non
standard flange dimensions shall not be considered acceptable.
The minimum working pressure of the volute and pump assembly
shall be 10 bar (145 psi).
PREMIUM EFFICIENCY MOTOR
The Premium Efficiency motor shall meet efficiency standards in
accordance with IEC 60034-30, level IE3 and NEMA Premium*.
Motor rating tests shall be conducted in accordance with IEC
60034-2-1 requirements and shall be certified accurate and
correct by a third party certifying agency. A certificate shall be
available upon request.
* IE3 and NEMA Premium efficiency levels are equivalent, however the NEMA
Premium standard is intended to cover dry installed motors only, not integrated
submersible motors.

The Premium Efficiency motor shall be housed in a water tight
gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) enclosure
capable of continuous submerged operation underwater to a
depth of 20 meters (65 feet), and shall have an IP68 protection
rating. The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design,
NEMA type B, Premium Efficiency. The copper stator windings
shall be insulated with moisture resistant Class H insulation
o
o

run continuously under full load while in an unsubmerged or
minimally submerged condition. A cooling jacket shall surround
the stator housing, and an environmentally safe non-toxic
propylene glycol solution shall be circulated through the jacket by
a circulating impeller attached to the main motor shaft. The
coolant shall be pumped through an integrated heat exchanger in
the base of the motor whenever the motor is running, allowing
excess heat to be transferred to the process liquid. Cooling
systems that circulate the pumped medium through the cooling
jacket, or those that use a toxic cooling liquid shall not be
acceptable. The use of external heat exchangers, fans, or the
supply of supplemental cooling liquid shall not be required.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
connected in series and set to open at 140oC +/- 5oC (284oF).
They shall be connected to the control panel to provide a high
stator temperature shutdown signal, and are used in conjunction
with external motor overload protection. As an option, an RTD
(PT100) type temperature measuring device shall be available for
the motor winding to provide actual temperature measurement of
the winding. When the RTD option is supplied for the motor
winding, bi-metallic switches shall also be supplied in the winding.
The bi-metallic system must be connected to the control to
provide positive shutdown of the motor in the event of an overheat
condition. This is required in order to conform to FM and CSA
rules for explosion proof equipment.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The mechanical seals shall be of
non proprietary design, and shall be manufactured by a major
independent manufacturer specializing in the design and
manufacture of mechanical seals. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set

SPECIFICATIONS
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned above the mechanical
seals for detecting the presence of water contamination within the
chamber. The sensing chamber shall be air filled, and shall have
a drain / inspection plug with a positive anti-leak seal which is
easily accessible from the outside of the pump. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the mechanical seal system, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal or
acceptable.
As an option, an additional moisture sensing probe in the
electrical connection chamber shall be available. This optional
probe shall send a separate signal to the control panel as
described above, so that maintenance personnel are given an
early warning of the presence of moisture in the connection
chamber.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately

all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 100,000 hours
at flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.

Cable Entry/Junction Chamber: The cable entry design shall not
require a specific torque to insure a watertight seal. The cable
entry shall consist of cylindrical elastomer grommets, flanked by
stainless steel washers. A cable cap incorporating a strain relief
and bend radius limiter shall mount to the cable entry boss,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry. Cable entry designs
which utilize potting compounds to provide a water tight seal, or
those which do not allow the cable to be easily changed in the
field shall not be considered equal.
The junction chamber shall be isolated and sealed from the motor
by means of sealing glands. Electrical connections between the
power cables and motor leads shall be made via a compression
or post type terminal board, allowing for easy disconnection and
maintenance.

the stator housing, and an environmentally safe non-toxic
propylene glycol solution shall be circulated through the jacket by
a circulating impeller attached to the main motor shaft. The
coolant shall be pumped through an integrated heat exchanger in
the base of the motor whenever the motor is running, allowing
excess heat to be transferred to the process liquid. Cooling
systems that circulate the pumped medium through the cooling
jacket, or those that use a toxic cooling liquid shall not be
acceptable. The use of external heat exchangers, fans, or the
supply of supplemental cooling liquid shall not be required.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
connected in series and set to open at 140oC +/- 5oC (284oF).
They shall be connected to the control panel to provide a high
stator temperature shutdown signal, and are used in conjunction
with external motor overload protection. As an option, an RTD
(PT100) type temperature measuring device shall be available for

winding, bi-metallic switches shall also be supplied in the winding.
The bi-metallic system must be connected to the control to
provide positive shutdown of the motor in the event of an overheat
condition. This is required in order to conform to FM and CSA
rules for explosion proof equipment.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The mechanical seals shall be of
non proprietary design, and shall be manufactured by a major
independent manufacturer specializing in the design and
manufacture of mechanical seals. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set

SPECIFICATIONS
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned above the mechanical
seals for detecting the presence of water contamination within the
chamber. The sensing chamber shall be air filled, and shall have
a drain / inspection plug with a positive anti-leak seal which is
easily accessible from the outside of the pump. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the mechanical seal system, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal or
acceptable.
As an option, an additional moisture sensing probe in the
electrical connection chamber shall be available. This optional
probe shall send a separate signal to the control panel as
described above, so that maintenance personnel are given an
early warning of the presence of moisture in the connection
chamber.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately

all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 100,000 hours
at flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.

Cable Entry/Junction Chamber: The cable entry design shall not
require a specific torque to insure a watertight seal. The cable
entry shall consist of cylindrical elastomer grommets, flanked by
stainless steel washers. A cable cap incorporating a strain relief
and bend radius limiter shall mount to the cable entry boss,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry. Cable entry designs
which utilize potting compounds to provide a water tight seal, or
those which do not allow the cable to be easily changed in the
field shall not be considered equal.
The junction chamber shall be isolated and sealed from the motor
by means of sealing glands. Electrical connections between the
power cables and motor leads shall be made via a compression
or post type terminal board, allowing for easy disconnection and
maintenance.

and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Impeller: The ABS ContraBlock impeller shall be of gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller shall be
of the semi-open, non-clogging, single vane design, and shall be
capable of passing a minimum of 2 inch diameter spherical solids
as are commonly found in waste water. The impeller shall be
highly clog resistant by virtue of its single vane semi open design
and the features of the ABS ContraBlock System. The impeller
shall have a slip fit onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall
be securely fastened to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which is
mechanically prevented from loosening by a positively engaged
ratcheting washer assembly. The head of the impeller bolt shall
be effectively recessed within the impeller bore to prevent
disruption of the flow stream and loss of hydraulic efficiency. The
impeller shall be dynamically balanced to the ISO 10816 standard
to provide smooth vibration free operation.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock wear plate shall
be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48,
Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed with an inlet
incorporating strategically placed cutting grooves and an outward
spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to shred
and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with four stainless steel securing screws and four stainless steel
adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment between
the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump efficiency.
Adjustment to allow for wear and restore peak pumping
performance shall be accomplished using standard tools, and
without requiring disassembly of the pump. The use of fixed or
non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or systems that require
disassembly of the pump or shimming of the impeller to facilitate
adjustment shall not be considered equal. The suction flange shall
be integrated into the wear plate and its bolt holes shall be drilled
and threaded to accept standard 4 inch ANSI class 125 flanged
fittings.

SPECIFICATIONS
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.
Discharge size shall be as specified on the pump performance
curve. The discharge flange design shall permit attachment to
standard ANSI or metric flanges/appurtenances. The discharge
flange shall be slotted to accept both 4 inch ANSI class 125 and
metric DN100 (PN 10) metric flanged fittings. Proprietary or non
standard flange dimensions shall not be considered acceptable.
The minimum working pressure of the volute and pump assembly
shall be 10 bar (145 psi).
PREMIUM EFFICIENCY MOTOR
The Premium Efficiency motor shall meet efficiency standards in
accordance with IEC 60034-30, level IE3 and NEMA Premium*.
Motor rating tests shall be conducted in accordance with IEC
60034-2-1 requirements and shall be certified accurate and
correct by a third party certifying agency. A certificate shall be
available upon request.
* IE3 and NEMA Premium efficiency levels are equivalent, however the NEMA
Premium standard is intended to cover dry installed motors only, not integrated
submersible motors.

The Premium Efficiency motor shall be housed in a water tight
gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) enclosure
capable of continuous submerged operation underwater to a
depth of 20 meters (65 feet), and shall have an IP68 protection
rating. The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design,
NEMA type B, Premium Efficiency. The copper stator windings
shall be insulated with moisture resistant Class H insulation
o
o
materials, rated for 180 C (356 F). The stator shall be press fitted

surrounding the motor. For unsubmerged (dry pit) applications, an
optional integrated glycol based cooling system shall be utilized to
enhance heat transfer, and allow the motor to operate at full rated
power continuously without the need for de-rating or reduced duty
cycle.
Optional Cooling System: The factory installed closed loop
cooling system shall be adequately designed to allow the motor to
run continuously under full load while in an unsubmerged or
minimally submerged condition. A cooling jacket shall surround
the stator housing, and an environmentally safe non-toxic
propylene glycol solution shall be circulated through the jacket by

with external motor overload protection. As an option, an RTD
(PT100) type temperature measuring device shall be available for
the motor winding to provide actual temperature measurement of
the winding. When the RTD option is supplied for the motor
winding, bi-metallic switches shall also be supplied in the winding.
The bi-metallic system must be connected to the control to
provide positive shutdown of the motor in the event of an overheat
condition. This is required in order to conform to FM and CSA
rules for explosion proof equipment.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The mechanical seals shall be of
non proprietary design, and shall be manufactured by a major
independent manufacturer specializing in the design and
manufacture of mechanical seals. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and

SPECIFICATIONS
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned above the mechanical
seals for detecting the presence of water contamination within the
chamber. The sensing chamber shall be air filled, and shall have
a drain / inspection plug with a positive anti-leak seal which is
easily accessible from the outside of the pump. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the mechanical seal system, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal or
acceptable.
As an option, an additional moisture sensing probe in the
electrical connection chamber shall be available. This optional
probe shall send a separate signal to the control panel as
described above, so that maintenance personnel are given an
early warning of the presence of moisture in the connection
chamber.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.

Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 100,000 hours
at flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry/Junction Chamber: The cable entry design shall not
require a specific torque to insure a watertight seal. The cable
entry shall consist of cylindrical elastomer grommets, flanked by
stainless steel washers. A cable cap incorporating a strain relief
and bend radius limiter shall mount to the cable entry boss,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry. Cable entry designs
which utilize potting compounds to provide a water tight seal, or
those which do not allow the cable to be easily changed in the
field shall not be considered equal.
The junction chamber shall be isolated and sealed from the motor
by means of sealing glands. Electrical connections between the
power cables and motor leads shall be made via a compression
or post type terminal board, allowing for easy disconnection and
maintenance.

with external motor overload protection. As an option, an RTD
(PT100) type temperature measuring device shall be available for
the motor winding to provide actual temperature measurement of
the winding. When the RTD option is supplied for the motor
winding, bi-metallic switches shall also be supplied in the winding.
The bi-metallic system must be connected to the control to
provide positive shutdown of the motor in the event of an overheat
condition. This is required in order to conform to FM and CSA
rules for explosion proof equipment.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The mechanical seals shall be of
non proprietary design, and shall be manufactured by a major
independent manufacturer specializing in the design and
manufacture of mechanical seals. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by

SPECIFICATIONS
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned above the mechanical
seals for detecting the presence of water contamination within the
chamber. The sensing chamber shall be air filled, and shall have
a drain / inspection plug with a positive anti-leak seal which is
easily accessible from the outside of the pump. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the mechanical seal system, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal or
acceptable.
As an option, an additional moisture sensing probe in the
electrical connection chamber shall be available. This optional
probe shall send a separate signal to the control panel as
described above, so that maintenance personnel are given an
early warning of the presence of moisture in the connection
chamber.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 70,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from

other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.
Cable Entry/Junction Chamber: The cable entry design shall not
require a specific torque to insure a watertight seal. The cable
entry shall consist of cylindrical elastomer grommets, flanked by
stainless steel washers. A cable cap incorporating a strain relief
and bend radius limiter shall mount to the cable entry boss,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry. Cable entry designs
which utilize potting compounds to provide a water tight seal, or
those which do not allow the cable to be easily changed in the
field shall not be considered equal.
The junction chamber shall be isolated and sealed from the motor
by means of sealing glands. Electrical connections between the
power cables and motor leads shall be made via a compression
or post type terminal board, allowing for easy disconnection and
maintenance.

the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the

through the primary mechanical seal, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately
machined shoulders to accommodate bearings, seals and
impeller. Carbon steel, chrome plated, or multi piece welded
shafts shall not be considered adequate or equal.
Bearings:
Each pump shaft shall rotate on high quality
permanently lubricated, greased bearings. The upper bearing
shall be a deep grooved ball bearing and the lower bearings shall
be a heavy duty double row angular contact ball bearing.
Bearings shall be of sufficient size and properly spaced to transfer
all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 50,000 hours at
flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.

There shall be no need for personnel to enter the wet well to
remove or reinstall the pump(s). In a wet pit installation, the
discharge base & elbow assembly shall be permanently installed
in the wet well and connected to the discharge piping. In order to
prevent binding or separation of the pump from the guide rail
system, the pump(s) shall connect to the guide rail base
automatically and firmly, guided by one 2 inch guide pipe (two 2
inch pipes optional) extending from the base elbow to the top of
the station. Systems using guide cable in lieu of rigid guide bars
or pipes shall not be considered acceptable. The sliding guide
bracket shall be a separate part of the pumping unit, capable of
being attached to standard 6 inch ANSI class 125 or metric
DN150 pump flanges, so that the pump mounting is non
proprietary, and any pump with a standard discharge flange can
be mounted on the base assembly. Base or bracket assemblies
with proprietary or non standard flange dimensions shall not be
considered acceptable.
A field replaceable Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber profile gasket or o-ring
shall accomplish positive sealing of the pump flange/guide rail
bracket to the discharge elbow. Base assemblies which rely solely
on metal to metal contact between the pump flange and discharge
base elbow as a means of sealing are inherently leak prone, and

In a dry pit installation, the pump shall be secured to a steel
support stand of suitable strength to support the weight of the
pump and resist any expected torsion, bending, or vibration
forces. The pump shall be suitable for either vertical or horizontal
dry pit installation without requiring any internal modifications.
PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Major pump components shall be of gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250
(ASTM A-48, Class 35B) with smooth surfaces devoid of porosity
or other irregularities. All exposed fasteners shall be stainless
steel 1.4401 (AISI type 316) construction. All metal surfaces
coming into contact with the pumped media (other than the
stainless steel components) shall be protected by a factory
applied spray coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by a high
solids two part epoxy paint finish on the exterior of the pump. The
pump shall be equipped with an open lifting hoop suitable for
attachment of standard chain fittings, or for hooking from the wet
well surface. The hoop shall be stainless steel 1.4401 (AISI 316),
and shall be rated to lift a minimum of four times the pump weight.
Sealing design for the pump/motor assembly shall incorporate
machined surfaces fitted with Nitrile (Buna-N) rubber O-rings.
Sealing will be the result of controlled compression of rubber Orings in two planes of the sealing interface. Housing interfaces
shall meet with metal to metal contact between machined
surfaces, and sealing shall be accomplished without requiring a
specific torque on the securing fasteners. Rectangular cross
sectioned gaskets requiring specific torque limits to achieve
compression shall not be considered equal. No secondary
sealing compounds shall be required or used.
Impeller: The ABS ContraBlock Plus impeller shall be of gray
cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B). The impeller
shall be of the semi-open, non-clogging, single vane design,
meeting the Ten State Standards requirement for minimum solids
passage size of 3 inches. The impeller shall be capable of
passing a minimum of 3.9 inch diameter spherical solids as are
commonly found in waste water. The impeller shall have a slip fit
onto the motor shaft and drive key, and shall be securely fastened
to the shaft by a stainless steel bolt which is mechanically
prevented from loosening by a positively engaged ratcheting
washer assembly. The head of the impeller bolt shall be
effectively recessed within the impeller bore to prevent disruption
of the flow stream and loss of hydraulic efficiency. The impeller
shall be dynamically balanced to the ISO 10816 standard to
provide smooth vibration free operation. Impeller designs which
do not meet the Ten State Standards requirement for 3 inch solids
passage size, those that rely on retractable impeller designs to
pass 3 inch solids, or those that rely on fins or pins protruding into
the suction path to assist in the handling of fibrous material shall
not be considered equal.
Self Cleaning Wear Plate: The ABS ContraBlock Plus wear plate
shall be constructed from gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48, Class 35B). The wear plate shall be designed with an inlet
incorporating strategically placed cutting grooves and an outward
spiral V-shaped groove on the side facing the impeller, to shred
and force stringy solids outward from the impeller and through the
pump discharge. The wear plate shall be mounted to the volute
with three stainless steel securing screws and three stainless
steel adjusting screws to permit close tolerance adjustment
between the wear plate and impeller for maximum pump
efficiency. Adjustment to allow for wear and restore peak pumping
performance shall be accomplished using standard tools, and
without requiring disassembly of the pump. The use of fixed or
non-adjustable wear plates or rings, or systems that require

SPECIFICATIONS
disassembly of the pump or shimming of the impeller to facilitate
adjustment shall not be considered equal. The suction flange shall
be integrated into the wear plate and its bolt holes shall be drilled
and threaded to accept standard 6 inch ANSI class 125 flanged
fittings.
Pump Volute: The pump volute shall be single piece gray cast
iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) non-concentric design
with centerline discharge. Passages shall be smooth and large
enough to pass any solids which may enter the impeller.
Discharge size shall be as specified on the pump performance
curve. The discharge flange design shall permit attachment to
standard ANSI or metric flanges/appurtenances. The discharge
flange shall be slotted to accept both 6 inch ANSI class 125 and
metric DN150 (PN 10) metric flanged fittings. Proprietary or non
standard flange dimensions shall not be considered acceptable.
The minimum working pressure of the volute and pump assembly
shall be 10 bar (145 psi).
PREMIUM EFFICIENCY MOTOR
The Premium Efficiency motor shall meet efficiency standards in
accordance with IEC 60034-30, level IE3 and NEMA Premium*.
Motor rating tests shall be conducted in accordance with IEC
60034-2-1 requirements and shall be certified accurate and
correct by a third party certifying agency. A certificate shall be
available upon request.
* IE3 and NEMA Premium efficiency levels are equivalent, however the NEMA
Premium standard is intended to cover dry installed motors only, not integrated
submersible motors.

The Premium Efficiency motor shall be housed in a water tight
gray cast iron, EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class 35B) enclosure
capable of continuous submerged operation underwater to a
depth of 20 meters (65 feet), and shall have an IP68 protection
rating. The motor shall be of the squirrel-cage induction design,
NEMA type B, Premium Efficiency. The copper stator windings
shall be insulated with moisture resistant Class H insulation
o
o
materials, rated for 180 C (356 F). The stator shall be press fitted

made of cast aluminum.
The motor shall be designed for continuous duty. The maximum
o
continuous temperature of the pumped liquid shall be 40 C
o
o
o
(104 F), and intermittently up to 50 C (122 F). The motor shall be
capable of handling up to 15 evenly spaced starts per hour
without overheating. The service factor (as defined by the NEMA
MG1 standard) shall be 1.3. The motor shall have a voltage
tolerance of +/- 10% from nominal, and a phase to phase voltage
imbalance tolerance of 1%. The motor shall be FM and CSA
approved for use in NEC Class I, Division I, Groups C & D
hazardous locations. The surface temperature rating shall be

surrounding the motor. For unsubmerged (dry pit) applications, an
optional integrated glycol based cooling system shall be utilized to
enhance heat transfer, and allow the motor to operate at full rated
power continuously without the need for de-rating or reduced duty
cycle.
Optional Cooling System: The factory installed closed loop
cooling system shall be adequately designed to allow the motor to

run continuously under full load while in an unsubmerged or
minimally submerged condition. A cooling jacket shall surround
the stator housing, and an environmentally safe non-toxic
propylene glycol solution shall be circulated through the jacket by
a circulating impeller attached to the main motor shaft. The
coolant shall be pumped through an integrated heat exchanger in
the base of the motor whenever the motor is running, allowing
excess heat to be transferred to the process liquid. Cooling
systems that circulate the pumped medium through the cooling
jacket, or those that use a toxic cooling liquid shall not be
acceptable. The use of external heat exchangers, fans, or the
supply of supplemental cooling liquid shall not be required.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
connected in series and set to open at 140oC +/- 5oC (284oF).
They shall be connected to the control panel to provide a high
stator temperature shutdown signal, and are used in conjunction
with external motor overload protection. As an option, an RTD
(PT100) type temperature measuring device shall be available for
the motor winding to provide actual temperature measurement of
the winding. When the RTD option is supplied for the motor
winding, bi-metallic switches shall also be supplied in the winding.
The bi-metallic system must be connected to the control to
provide positive shutdown of the motor in the event of an overheat
condition. This is required in order to conform to FM and CSA
rules for explosion proof equipment.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The mechanical seals shall be of
non proprietary design, and shall be manufactured by a major
independent manufacturer specializing in the design and
manufacture of mechanical seals. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set

SPECIFICATIONS
screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned above the mechanical
seals for detecting the presence of water contamination within the
chamber. The sensing chamber shall be air filled, and shall have
a drain / inspection plug with a positive anti-leak seal which is
easily accessible from the outside of the pump. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the mechanical seal system, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal or
acceptable.
As an option, an additional moisture sensing probe in the
electrical connection chamber shall be available. This optional
probe shall send a separate signal to the control panel as
described above, so that maintenance personnel are given an
early warning of the presence of moisture in the connection
chamber.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)
material, and shall have a polished finish with accurately

all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 100,000 hours
at flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.

Cable Entry/Junction Chamber: The cable entry design shall not
require a specific torque to insure a watertight seal. The cable
entry shall consist of cylindrical elastomer grommets, flanked by
stainless steel washers. A cable cap incorporating a strain relief
and bend radius limiter shall mount to the cable entry boss,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry. Cable entry designs
which utilize potting compounds to provide a water tight seal, or
those which do not allow the cable to be easily changed in the
field shall not be considered equal.
The junction chamber shall be isolated and sealed from the motor
by means of sealing glands. Electrical connections between the
power cables and motor leads shall be made via a compression
or post type terminal board, allowing for easy disconnection and
maintenance.

the stator housing, and an environmentally safe non-toxic
propylene glycol solution shall be circulated through the jacket by
a circulating impeller attached to the main motor shaft. The
coolant shall be pumped through an integrated heat exchanger in
the base of the motor whenever the motor is running, allowing
excess heat to be transferred to the process liquid. Cooling
systems that circulate the pumped medium through the cooling
jacket, or those that use a toxic cooling liquid shall not be
acceptable. The use of external heat exchangers, fans, or the
supply of supplemental cooling liquid shall not be required.
Thermal Protection: Each phase of the motor shall contain a
normally closed bi-metallic temperature monitor switch imbedded
in the motor windings.
These thermal switches shall be
connected in series and set to open at 140oC +/- 5oC (284oF).

winding, bi-metallic switches shall also be supplied in the winding.
The bi-metallic system must be connected to the control to
provide positive shutdown of the motor in the event of an overheat
condition. This is required in order to conform to FM and CSA
rules for explosion proof equipment.
Mechanical Seals: Each pump shall be equipped with a tandem
mechanical shaft seal system consisting of two totally
independent seal assemblies. The seals shall operate in a
lubricant reservoir that hydro-dynamically lubricates the lapped
seal faces at a constant rate. The mechanical seals shall be of
non proprietary design, and shall be manufactured by a major
independent manufacturer specializing in the design and
manufacture of mechanical seals. The lower, primary seal unit,
located between the pump and the lubricant chamber, shall
contain one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring
and one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring. The
stationary ring of the primary seal shall be installed in a seal
holding plate of gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A-48, Class
35B). The seal holding plate shall be equipped with swirl
disruption ribs to prevent abrasive material from prematurely
wearing the seal plate. The upper, secondary seal unit, located
between the lubricant chamber and motor housing, shall contain
one stationary industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring, and one
rotating one rotating industrial duty silicon-carbide seal ring.
Each seal interface shall be held in contact by its own spring
system. The seals shall not require routine maintenance, or
adjustment, and shall not be dependent on the direction of
rotation for proper sealing. Each pump shall be provided with a
lubricant chamber for the shaft sealing system which shall provide
superior heat transfer and maximum seal cooling. The lubricant
chamber shall be designed to prevent overfilling, and to provide
lubricant expansion capacity. The drain and inspection plug shall
have a positive anti-leak seal, and shall be easily accessible from
the outside of the pump. The seal system shall not rely upon the
pumped media for lubrication and shall not be damaged when the
pump is run dry.
Lubricant in the chamber shall be
environmentally safe non toxic material.
The following seal types shall not be considered equal: Seals of
proprietary design, or seals manufactured by other than major
independent seal manufacturing companies. Seals requiring set

screws, pins, or other mechanical locking devices to hold the seal
in place, conventional double mechanical seals containing either
a common single or double spring acting between the upper and
lower seal faces, any system requiring a pressure differential to
seat the seal and ensure sealing.
Mechanical Seal Protection System:
The primary mechanical seal shall be protected from interference
by particles in the waste water, including fibrous materials, by an
active Seal Protection System integrated into the impeller. The
back side of the impeller shall be equipped with a sinusoidal
cutting ring, forming a close clearance cutting system with the
lower submersible motor housing or seal plate. This sinusoidal
cutting ring shall spin with the pump impeller providing a minimum
of 75 shearing actions per pump revolution. Large particles or
fibrous material which attempt to lodge behind the impeller, or
wrap around the mechanical seal shall be effectively sheared by
the active cutting system into particles small enough the prevent
interference with the mechanical seal. The Seal Protection
System shall operate whenever the pump operates, and shall not
require adjustment or maintenance in order to function.
Submersible pump designs which do not incorporate an active
cutting system to protect the primary mechanical seal shall not be
considered acceptable for wastewater service.
Seal Failure Early Warning System: The integrity of the
mechanical seal system shall be continuously monitored during
pump operation and standby time. An electrical probe shall be
provided in a sensing chamber positioned above the mechanical
seals for detecting the presence of water contamination within the
chamber. The sensing chamber shall be air filled, and shall have
a drain / inspection plug with a positive anti-leak seal which is
easily accessible from the outside of the pump. A solid-state
relay mounted in the pump control panel or in a separate
enclosure shall send a low voltage, low amperage signal to the
probe, continuously monitoring the conductivity of the liquid in the
sensing chamber. If sufficient water enters the sensing chamber
through the mechanical seal system, the probe shall sense the
increase in conductivity and signal the solid state relay in the
control panel. The relay shall then energize a warning light on the
control panel, or optionally, cause the pump shut down. This
system shall provide an early warning of mechanical seal
leakage, thereby preventing damage to the submersible pump,
and allowing scheduled rather than emergency maintenance.
Systems utilizing float switches or any other monitoring devices
located in the stator housing rather than in a sensing chamber
between the mechanical seals are not considered to be early
warning systems, and shall not be considered equal or
acceptable.
As an option, an additional moisture sensing probe in the
electrical connection chamber shall be available. This optional
probe shall send a separate signal to the control panel as
described above, so that maintenance personnel are given an
early warning of the presence of moisture in the connection
chamber.
Shaft: The pump shaft and motor shaft shall be an integral, one
piece unit adequately designed to meet the maximum torque
required at any normal start-up condition or operating point in the
system. The shaft shall have a full shutoff head design safety
factor of 1.7, and the maximum shaft deflection shall not exceed
.05 mm (.002 inch) at the lower seal during normal pump
operation. Each shaft shall be stainless steel 1.4021 (AISI 420)

all radial and axial loads to the pump housing and minimize shaft
deflection. L-10 bearing life shall be a minimum of 100,000 hours
at flows ranging from ½ of BEP flow to 1½ times BEP flow (BEP is
best efficiency point). The bearings shall be manufactured by a
major internationally known manufacturer of high quality bearings,
and shall be stamped with the manufacturer’s name and size
designation on the race. Generic or unbranded bearings from
other than major bearing manufacturers shall not be considered
acceptable.
Power Cable: The power cables shall be sized according to NEC
and CSA standards and shall be of sufficient length to reach the
junction box without requiring splices. The outer jacket of the
cable shall be oil and water resistant, and shall be capable of
continuous submerged operation underwater to a depth of 65 feet.

Cable Entry/Junction Chamber: The cable entry design shall not
require a specific torque to insure a watertight seal. The cable
entry shall consist of cylindrical elastomer grommets, flanked by
stainless steel washers. A cable cap incorporating a strain relief
and bend radius limiter shall mount to the cable entry boss,
compressing the grommet ID to the cable while the grommet OD
seals against the bore of the cable entry. Cable entry designs
which utilize potting compounds to provide a water tight seal, or
those which do not allow the cable to be easily changed in the

ABS submersible mixer RW 200 and 280
Compact submersible mixer for flushing and cleaning of pump
sumps, plus a wide range of applications in sewage treatment
plants and industrial mixing applications.

60 Hz

Applications
The compact ABS submersible mixers of the RW 200 and 280
series have been designed for a wide range of applications. As
well as for the prevention of deposits and floating crusts in pump
sumps, the units are also ideal for a variety of mixing and stirring
applications in sewage treatment plants and in industrial areas.
Depending on the intensity of mixing required, and the flow
formation needed, one or more mixers may be installed. RW 200
and 280 series is suitable for the cleaning of sumps up to 16-ft
diameter or 260-ft square.
The optimum flow direction for a particular application can be
achieved quite simply by adjusting the mixer position horizontally
or vertically (± 30°) on the mounting bracket.
Horizontal adjustment is not possible in a guide rail installation;
in a hanging installation, swivelling in the horizontal plane is
facilitated by the conical threaded pipe connection.
The coupling bracket, adjusting plate, and 33 ft cable with free
cable ends are supplied as standard.

For optimum selection in general mixing applications the
following information is required:
* application
* tank/sump dimensions
* medium to be mixed
* viscosity and specific weight of medium
* temperature, dry matter content et
Construction
Motor
The water pressure-tight encapsulated modular motor with cast
iron housing, oil chamber, propeller, and bracket, form a compact, robust, unit construction.
Single-and-three-phase; 4-pole; 1750 minimum rpm; insulation
class F; protection class IP 68.
Bearings and Seals
Rotor shaft supported in lubricated-for-life ball bearings, having
100,000 B10 life.
Tandem shaft sealing with lip seal and silicon carbide mechanical
seal as standard; option of Viton double mechanical seal.
Solids Deflection Ring
The patented solids deflection ring protects the mechanical seal
from damage by ingress of solid or fibrous matter.
Propeller
Blockage-free, 2 blade propeller is manufactured in cast iron.

Features
* Easy installation
* Small space requirements
* Adjustable bracket allows direction to be altered
* Guide rail mounting option
* Cast iron housing
* Wear-resisting propeller
* High power reserves
* Patented solids deflection ring
* Modular motor
* Available as standard or explosion-proof

OPERATION
The ABS Sealminder system is a solid state device that provides a warning signal when the oil in the individual chamber (oil,
motor, connection) reaches a certain level of contamination by water. The contamination level is determined by measuring the
resistivity of the oil bath. The resistivity is measured from a probe (di-electrode), installed to extend into the oil, to ground or the
motor case. The probe is connected to a lead which runs back through the motor cables and is connected to the #3 sensing
lead from the Sealminder relay. The relay will “trip” at a resistance of 90K to 100K ohms or lower, activating a 24 volt DC
output on the M (white) lead of the relay. This output can be used to activate a 24 volt DC pilot light or a 24 volt DC auxiliary
relay, which in turn can provide multiple output signals. The auxiliary relay is shown below.
MOUNTING
The ABS Sealminder relay can be mounted in any position by means of the mounting lugs on either side. Approximate
dimensions are shown below.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The ABS Sealminder relay comes in 115 volt, 208/230 volt, 460 volt, or 575 volt models. The relay is CSA approved. A ground
fault master unit is required for UL approval. The power (input) leads are the two black leads and are labeled on the package
as to the correct line voltage, i.e. labeled as 460V at point where leads enter relay. The output lead (24 volt DC) is white and
labeled (M). This should be connected to the line side of a pilot light or the (-) side of a 24 volt DC relay. The common lead is
yellow and is labeled (+). The ground lead is green. The probe or sensing input lead is blue and is labeled as (3). This lead
should be connected to the probe lead (#3) of the motor cable.
NOTE: The input power leads DO NOT require a transformer connection, using power from any two leads.

DESCRIPTION and OPERATION
HSC2 is a sewage water resistant, stainless steel encapsulated, submersible, hydrostatic level sensor of high accuracy. It is
designed for level measurement in liquids like storm water and wastewater in pump sumps. When connected in series with a
DC power supply, the HSC2 gives a 4 to 20 mA output signal which is proportional to the level of the liquid.
The output signal can be connected to the mA – input of set point relays, chart recorders, indicating instruments, PLC, pumpcontrols, etc. The number of devices in series and the length of the cable from sensor to the devices are dependent on the
supply voltage. The ceramic sensing element can withstand very high overpressures without damage.

MEASURING PRINCIPLE
The level sensor has a pressure sensor of the piezoresistive type with a silicate glass membrane. The front side of the
membrane senses the pressure of the liquid column, which is proportional to the level of the liquid. To eliminate the measuring
error caused by the change of the atmospheric pressure the backside of the membrane is subjected to the atmospheric
pressure through an air hose in the sensor cable.

APPLICATION
The HSC2 sensor sends a 4 – 20 mA signal, which is proportional to the level of the fluid. The output signal is connected to the
mA input of for ex. set point relays chart recorders, indicating instruments, PLC, pump controllers i.e.
The sensors are normally mounted in pump pits for measuring the level of storm water and sewage water. The sensors are
also used to measure water levels in rivers, levels in low/high reservoirs etc.
The sensor can also be used to measure the level of other types of liquids. Parameters to be considered are among others
density, temperature, if the sensor material withstands the media etc.

DESCRIPTION and OPERATION
HSR is a sewage water resistant, PVC encapsulated, 2-wire loop powered, submersible, hydrostatic level sensor. It is
designed for level measurement in liquids like storm water and wastewater in pump sumps. When connected in series with a
DC power supply, the HSR gives a 4 to 20 mA output signal which is proportional to the level of the liquid.
The output signal can be connected to the mA – input of set point relays, chart recorders, indicating instruments, PLC, pumpcontrols, etc. The number of devices in series and the length of the cable from sensor to the devices are dependent on the
supply voltage. The silicate glass-sensing element can withstand moderate overpressures.

MEASURING PRINCIPLE
The level sensor has a pressure sensor of the piezoresistive type with a silicate glass membrane. The front side of the
membrane senses the pressure of the liquid column, which is proportional to the level of the liquid. To eliminate the measuring
error caused by the change of the atmospheric pressure the backside of the membrane is subjected to the atmospheric
pressure through an air hose in the sensor cable.

APPLICATION
The HSR sensor sends a 4 – 20 mA signal, which is proportional to the level of the fluid. The output signal is connected to the
mA input of for ex. set point relays chart recorders, indicating instruments, PLC, pump controllers i.e.
The sensors are normally mounted in pump pits for measuring the level of storm water and sewage water. The sensors are
also used to measure water levels in rivers, levels in low/high reservoirs etc.
The sensor can also be used to measure the level of other types of liquids. Parameters to be considered are among others
density, temperature, if the sensor material withstands the media etc.
