WARNING

Do not operate until pump is initially primed and connected to constant supply of clean compressant liquid. IF RUN
DRY, PUMP WILL BE DAMAGED. Always use strainer to prevent sand and scale from entering the pump with liquid.
Certain operating conditions in combination with water hardness may result in excessive lime deposits within the
pump, causing it to bind. Should this condition be evident, flush pump with a solvent at regular intervals.
This pump has been drained and flushed with a water-soluble preservative oil prior to shipment. After pump has been
in service, do not store without draining as specified within this Bulletin. Pump can be damaged by freezing. Dispose
of oil properly.
USE CAUTION when removing inlet screens. Any foreign material on screen may fall into pump and cause extensive
damage at start-up.
Base must be mounted to a leveled foundation and final coupling alignment done during installation.

1. Uncrating
Note - The term "pump" and "vacuum
pump" in this Bulletin apply to both vacuum
pumps and compressors unless otherwise
noted.
a. Check all parts against the shipping list received with
the pump. Inspect the pump for possible shipping
damage. Report any shortage or damage at once to
the local agent of the carrier.
b. Pumps and their drive motors are normally shipped
from the factory mounted on a base, with coupling
halves separated or V-belts removed in order to pre-
vent damage from springing of the base during ship-
ment. Coupling assembly parts are shipped in a bag
fastened to the shaft under the coupling guard or in a
separate container, depending on the size and type
of coupling. V-belts and other accessories are usu-
ally shipped in a separate container that is attached
to the pump shipping crate. MAKE CERTAIN THAT
COUPLING ASSEMBLY PARTS, V-BELTS, AND
OTHER ACCESSORIES ARE IDENTIFIED AND
KEPT IN A SAFE PLACE UNTIL THEY ARE IN-
STALLED ON THE PUMP IN ORDER TO AVOID
LOSS OR DAMAGE.
c. Handle the pump by lifting it evenly at four or more
points of the base.
2. Services Required
2.1 Piping
Note - Refer to the NASH installation
drawing(s) supplied with your unit for
specific piping requirements.
a. Inlet
(See Figure 1.) Connect the vacuum pump inlet full
size to the process. Connect the compressor inlet
full size to the process or to the atmosphere. When
connecting pumps with two inlets (CL Series, 2BE,
P2620 and 904 Pumps) together, the inlets should
be manifolded to a larger pipe size. The pipe area
must be equal to, or greater than, the total area of
the two connected inlets. In those cases in which
the length of the piping run for the inlet exceeds 75
feet (23 meters) on pumps whose inlets are 2 inches
(50 mm) or less, or in those cases in which the length
exceeds 150 feet (46 meters) on pumps whose in-
lets are larger, use the next larger pipe size over the
entire length of the piping run.
NASH Installation Instructions
d. The shaft of the driver (motor, gear reducer, turbine,
etc.) is not in alignment with the shaft of the pump
when received. Proper alignment can be established
correctly only after the base is leveled and secured
to its permanent foundation and all pipe connections
have been made to the pump. NASH does not pro-
vide this service unless a NASH Field Service Tech-
nician is specifically requested.
e. If the pump and the driver are not to be installed and
operated shortly after receipt, store them in a clean,
dry place. Rotate the pump shaft every two weeks
to coat the bearings with lubricant to retard oxidation
and corrosion. Although the pump is flushed with a
water-soluble preservative oil prior to shipment, re-
fer to the Operation and Maintenance Bulletin for your
unit for storage procedures.
f. Before starting the vacuum pump upon completion
of alignment, remove the seal water drain plugs.
Open the service liquid shut-off valve. Allow the
service liquid to flow until there is a clear flow from
all drains. Although the vacuum pump is flushed
with inhibiting oil prior to shipment, a light film of rust
may form before installation is complete. This film
will disappear after the pump shaft has been manu-
ally rotated a few times. Close the service liquid
shut off valve. Replace the service liquid drain plugs
using a pipe thread sealant.
Note - A flexible connection for the inlet
header piping is recommended to eliminate
pipe strain and facilitate removal or testing
for the following pumps: CL-2000 through
CL-14000 Series as shown in Figure 3;
2BE, P2620, and 904 Pumps as shown
in Fig. 4.
b. Strainer
Connect a strainer, cleanout, dirt pocket, or a com-
bination of the three in all liquid seal lines ahead (up-
stream) of the pump to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from entering the pump during operation. On
recirculated seal systems, ensure that a strainer is
installed in the return line from the air/water separa-
tor and ahead (upstream) of the heat exchanger, re-
circulation pump, and the vacuum pump.

NOTES:
1. Typical piping arrangements shown; make certain to refer to the NASH installation drawing(s) supplied with your unit for
specific piping requirements and seal supply pressure.
2. The inlet check valve must be installed in horizontal line only for proper operation. An inlet check valve is not requir ed for
filter applications or where vacuum will not be maintained on pump shutdown.
3. The distance between the pump and the separator should be kept to a minimum. The liquid level in the separator should
never be allowed to be higher than the pump shaft centerline. The pump discharge connections and separator inlet
connection are not always the same size. Refer to the NASH installation drawing(s) supplied with your unit for connection
sizes.
4. Stainless steel temporary screens will be supplied by NASH for protection from foreign material during the start-up period.
One screen (coarse mesh) will be supplied with iron pumps. Two screens (fine and coarse mesh) will be supplied with
stainless steel pumps. The fine mesh screen should be installed on the upstream side of the coarse mesh screen. All
temporary screens should be cleaned after initial start-up. When all debris has been removed, the screens should be
removed.
5. If a slightly elevated pump discharge is necessary, an equalizer line is used to balance the liquid level between the pump
and the separator.
6. Avoid long vertical drops (refer to dimension X) of 10 feet (3 meters) or more directly into the pump by diverting the stream
as shown. If the gas stream has a possibility of dirt carry-over, install a dirt pocket. A dirt pocket is mandatory for stainless
steel pump installations.
7. Install clean-out in this location when temporary screen is used in alternate location (item 11). If temporary screen is
installed in preferred location (item 10), use dirt pocket (item 12) for clean out.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Location
The pump should be located in a readily and completely
accessible location that is protected against flooding, freez-
ing, excessive moisture and from overhead dripping. Pro-
vision should be made to permit proper piping arrangement
and dismantling. The location should provide clearance
for the minimum distance necessary to service the pump
as specified on the NASH installation drawing(s) supplied
with your unit.
3.2 Foundation
The foundation must form a rigid support for the pump in
order to maintain proper alignment. The foundation must
be placed on hard, compacted soil or on piles that have
been driven to a sufficient depth so that they are resting
on hard, compacted soil. Pour concrete to a height that is
within 1/2 to 1-1/2 inch (13 to 38 mm) of the finished foun-
dation. Install foundation bolts as specified in Figure 11,
located according to the prints supplied with your pump,
and set as shown in Part A of Figure 11. Use pipe sleeves
that are two or three diameters larger than the bolt, permit-
ting the bolts to be moved to conform to the soleplate slot
locations after the concrete is poured.
Under all conditions, the foundation at each foundation
bolt location must be smooth and all at the same level. A
metal plate leveled in mortar or grout is one easy way to
achieve this level and smooth surface. (See Figure 13.)
Shims may be used to make the final adjustment to pro-
vide this, level surface. The plate or shim area should be
such that. the loading does not exceed 300 pounds per
square inch (4267 kilograms per square centimeter).
The foundation should be allowed to cure for several days
before mounting and aligning the equipment.
3.3 Setting Base, Soleplate or Pump
Bases are designed to support the pump and driver when
rigidly supported at all foundation bolt locations.
Soleplates must be grouted carefully to supply a rigid sup-
port under the full area of the soleplate.
Pumps mounted without soleplates must be rigidly sup-
ported on a smooth surface which is at the same level at
each foot.
Once the foundation bolt locations have been checked and
leveled with each other, carefully install base, soleplate or
pump.
If skids are used, place the pump and skid on the founda-
tion, shimming as necessary under the foundation bolts.
Remove the pump for final leveling and shimming. Before
tightening the foundation bolts, shim under each as shown
in Figure 13.
Tighten foundation bolts securely. With a soleplate, check
that the top-of the soleplate is level. With skids and bases,
check to assure that final coupling or V-belt drive align-
ment can be established.
NASH Installation Instructions
If alignment within the tolerances specified in Paragraph
3.6 or 3.7 cannot be obtained, recheck for tightness of
foundation bolts and for level foundation under foundation
bolts.
3.4 Grouting
When a soleplate is used in the pump installation, grout
between the soleplate and foundation in order to fill irregu-
larities and provide uniform load distribution. Use a grout-
ing that is a high-strength, non-shrinking, non-expanding
mixture. The concrete foundation surface should be pre-
pared for better adhesion prior to applying the grout. Acid
etching or chipping of the surface is recommended.
Note - For foundation bolt installation and
grouting of CL, SC, TC, 904, 2BE, and
P2620 Models see Figure 12.
If the base is fabricated from structural
shapes, fill it with grout. Pack or rod to fill
the space between the base and the
foundation completely. (See Part B of
Figure 11.)
If the base is a formed steel base (non-
self supporting) pack grout under the edge
of the base. A small form may be
constructed to contain and shape the
grout, as shown in Part C of Figure 11.)
Note - If the formed steel base is installed
on a steel structure with no grout,
additional support or fastening is required
along the length of the base.
If skids are used, refer to Figure 13 for
grouting.
Allow the grout to set completely before
attempting any alignment.
3.5 Piping Installation
Note - The pump is shipped with thread or
flange protectors installed in all open
connection points to prevent damage to
the pump. Remove these protectors before
making piping connections. Refer to the
NASH installation drawing(s) supplied with
your unit for specific piping requirements.
Refer to Paragraph 2.1, 2.1.1 and 2.1.2
for general piping requirements.
Piping should be connected to the pump without strain,
because pipe strain on pump castings may cause hard to
trace troubles after the pump is in operation Coupling mis-

3) A start-up bypass valve is required for proper start-up and should be capable of passing the full rated flow from the compressor.
Please note: A bypass line is not required for the SC and Vectra product line.
4) The inlet check valve prevents a slug of water from rushing into the inlet piping when the compressor stops. The discharge
check valve maintains system pressure when the compressor stops. Check valves must be installed in horizontal lines for
proper operation.
5) The distance between the compressor and the separator should be kept to a minimum. The liquid level in the separator
should never be allowed to be higher than the compressor shaft centerline. The compressor discharge connections and
separator inlet connections are not always the same size. Refer to the NASH installation drawing(s) supplied with your unit
for connection sizes.
6) Stainless steel temporary screens will be supplied by NASH for protection from foreign material during the start-up period.
One screen (coarse mesh) will be supplied with iron compressors. Two screens (fine and coarse mesh) will be supplied
with stainless steel compressors. The fine mesh screen should be installed on the upstream side of the coarse mesh
screen. All temporary screens should be cleaned after initial start-up. When all debris has been removed, the screens
should be removed.
7) If a slightly elevated compressor discharge is necessary, an equalizer line is used to balance the liquid level between the
compressor and the separator.
8) Avoid long vertical drops (refer to dimension X, of 10 feet (3 meters) or more, directly into the compressor by diverting the
stream as shown. If the gas stream has a possibility of dirt carry-over, install a dirt pocket. A dirt pocket is mandatory for
stainless steel compressor installations.
9) Install a clean-out in this location when temporary screen is used in alternate location (item 11). If temporary screen is
installed in preferred location (item 14), use dirt pocket (item 16) for clean-out.

Caution - Couplings should not be forced

on the pump shaft. If there is not a slip fit,
expand the coupling half by heating it to a
maximum temperature of 300F (149C). Do
not force the coupling half! Forcing may
damage the bearings or the pump internal
surfaces or parts. On CL-2000 through CL-
14000 series pumps, make certain that
pump to coupling hub face dimension is as
specified in figure 15. On 904 and P2620

Even though a coupling may be lubricated, excess mis-
alignment causes wear, vibration, and loads that result in
premature bearing failure, seal wear, or ultimate seizing of
the pump. Misalignment can be angular, parallel, or a com-
bination of these; in addition, misalignment can be in the
horizontal plane, vertical plane, or both. (See Figure 14.) If
proper alignment cannot be achieved, recheck the tight-
ness of foundation bolts and the leveling provided by the
shimming of the foundation bolts.
DRIVERS (MOTORS, GEAR REDUCERS, TURBINES,
ETC.) MUST BE FIELD ALIGNED TO THE PUMP PRIOR
TO OPERATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOL-
LOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION - Turbine alignment must be
performed at operating temperature. Consult
the turbine manufacturer's installation and
operation manual or his representative for
recommendations on alignment procedures
and for thermal growth allowances that
should be made between shaft centerlines
for your turbine and driven equipment.

Note - For coupling used on CL-2000

through CL-14000 series pumps, P2620,
Vectra, or 904 Pumps, make certain that
the pump to coupling hub dimension is as
specified in Figure 15 or 16. Refer to Figure
17 for coupling arrangements used for
multiple pump installations.

CAUTION - To avoid buildup of tolerances

on multiple pump installations, align all
pump and driver shafts optically.

used) should not have a diametral clearance greater
than 0.004 inch (0.10 mm) or excessive stresses
can be produced that may cause premature key and

before final alignment is performed.
b. Coupling Alignment Shim Kit.
A shim kit is supplied by NASH for all pumps that
are mounted on a common pump/motor base. The
shims have a total thickness of approximately 1/16
inch (1.6 mm) and are used to make the final align-
ment of the motor to the pump. The shims are lami-
nated, even though they may appear solid. Each
lamination is 0.003 inch (0.076 mm). To obtain the

18 Bulletin 642-J
 desired thickness, lift the rounded edge of the lami-
nation with a knife at the approximate thickness de-
sired. Once the knife penetrates the shim edge, work
the knife through the shim lamination until the lami-
nations separate completely.
c.
WARNING - The laminations can be
extremely sharp. Wear gloves while peeling
shims to avoid minor cuts.
Peel individual shim layers to make fine adjustments
to the total shim thickness. When inserting thin shim
layers under the feet of the motor, sandwich the thin-
ner shim layers between the thicker shim layers and
then insert the combined shim total. Sandwiching
the shims before inserting them prevents the thin
shims from bending over and creating uneven foot-
ings. The fact that the edges of the shims are slightly
rounded will not affect shim performance.
Final Alignment (Preferred Method).
Following accomplishment of the rough alignment
and preliminary shimming procedures, align the units
using a dial indicator, as follows, to accomplish the
final alignment.

1. For specific dimensions, refer to the NASH installation drawing(s) supplied with your unit.
2. Rung spacers are to be installed with clearance as shown at break in grid 180 degrees apart. The remaining spacers are to
be evenly spaced apart. The rubber disc, 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick, is to be installed between the T10 coupling hubs.

 d.
CAUTION - Never pry up or lift a unit that is
restrained by solid pipe connections or by
foundation bolts when shims are to be
placed under that unit's mounting feet.
Regardless of the elevation that is required,
prying up or lifting may damage the unit.
Post-Alignment.
Upon completion of the final alignment procedure,
perform the following post-alignment procedure:
1. Install the coupling pins, inserts, grids, lubricant,
cover, etc., whichever are applicable to the coupling
type.
2. Install and securely fasten the coupling guard.

Note - Final alignment should (in most

cases) be accomplished by shimming the
driving unit (gear reducer, motor, turbine,
etc.). In some cases, such as turbine
drives, it may be easier to align the driven
unit to the driver.
1. Place a reference or bench mark on the outside di-
ameter of both coupling halves.
2. Separate the coupling halves, if required, and mount
a dial indicator as shown in Figure 16 for angular
alignment. A small V-block magnetic mount or a
strap-type dial indicator mount will provide the best
method of attaching the dial indicator.
3. Slowly rotate both shafts at the same time and de-
termine the value and location of the highest and
lowest dial indicator readings.
WARNING - Do not attempt to start the
equipment without the coupling guard
installed and secured. NASH guards, when
supplied, are designed to meet osha
standards. These coupling guards are
expandable type guards. When installing the
guard, expand the guard as close to the
driving and driven units as physically
possible in order to satisfy osha
requirements. After the guard is expanded,
locate the mounting holes and securely
fasten the guard.

Note - When making dial indicator

readings, make certain that the reference
marks on both coupling halves are always
in alignment.

4. Shim and position the driver unit, repeating step 3,

above, until the readings are within (less than) 0.004
inch (0.10 mm) of the total dial indicator reading for
a complete revolution of the shafts.
5. With the angular alignment of steps 2 through 4 A. For Parallel Alignment
completed, remount the dial indicator for parallel
alignment as shown in Figure 18 and repeat steps 3
and 4.
6. With steps I through 5 completed, securely tighten
the unit to the base and recheck the angular and
parallel alignments in accordance until the require-
ments of step 4 are satisfied for both angular and
parallel alignment.
7. Recheck the coupling gaps for the coupling halves
to make certain that they are within the recom-
mended value. On loose-fit couplings with setscrews,
reposition the coupling halves, if necessary, to bring
them within limits.
8. Securely tighten the setscrews for the coupling
halves, if setscrews are installed.
