FL100-Series Specifications
1.01 GENERAL:
The contractor shall provide labor, material, equipment, and incidentals required to provide (QTY) centrifugal effluent
pumps as specified herein. The pump models covered in this specification are Series FL100 single phase or three phase effluent
pumps. The pump furnished for this application shall be model ______________as manufactured by Liberty pumps.
2.01 OPERATING CONDITIONS:
Each submersible pump shall be rated at 1 hp_____ volts _______ phase 60 Hz. 3450 RPM. The unit shall produce
______G.P.M. at ______ feet of total dynamic head.
The submersible pump shall be capable of handling ¾” solids enabling pumping over long distances in pipelines as small as 1.5"
in diameter. The submersible pump shall have a shut-off head of 90 feet and a maximum flow of 98 GPM @ 15 feet of total
dynamic head.
The pump shall be controlled with:
______A piggy back style on/off float switch.
______A NEMA 4X simplex control panel with three float switches and a high water alarm.
______A NEMA 4X duplex control panel with three float switches and a high water alarm.
3.01 CONSTRUCTION:
Each centrifugal effluent pump shall be equal to the certified Series FL100 effluent pumps as manufactured by Liberty
Pumps, Bergen NY. The castings shall be constructed of class 25 cast iron. The motor housing shall be oil filled to dissipate heat.
Air filled motors shall not be considered equal since they do not properly dissipate heat from the motor. All mating parts shall be
machined and sealed with a Buna-N o-ring. All fasteners exposed to the liquid shall be stainless steel. The motor shall be
protected on the top side with sealed cord entry plate with molded pins to conduct electricity eliminating the ability of water to enter
internally through the cord. The motor shall be protected on the lower side with a dual seal arrangement. The first seal is a double
lip seal molded in FKM fluoroelastomer or Buna N.
The second / main seal shall be a unitized hard face carbon ceramic seal with stainless steel housings and spring.
The upper and lower bearing shall be capable of handling all radial thrust loads. The lower bearing shall have the additional ability
to handle the downward axial thrust produced by the impeller. The pump housing shall be of the concentric design thereby
equalizing the pressure forces inside the housing which will extend the service life of the seals and bearings. The pump shall be
furnished with stainless steel handle having a nitrile grip.
4.01 ELECTRICAL POWER CORD
The submersible pump shall be supplied with 25 or 35 feet of multiconductor power cord. It shall be cord type SJOOW (1-ph) or
SEOOW (3-ph), capable of continued exposure to the pumped liquid. The power cord shall be sized for the rated full load amps of
the pump in accordance with the National Electric Code. The power cable shall not enter the motor housing directly but will
conduct electricity to the motor by means of a water tight compression fitting cord plate assembly, with molded pins to conduct
electricity. This will eliminate the ability of water to enter internally through the cord, by means of a damaged or wicking cord.
