r <br /> B . Each foundation plate for each pump shall be rigidly and <br /> accurately anchored into position. The same pump manufacturer <br /> r shall furnish all necessary foundation bolts , plates , nuts, and <br /> washers for installation by the Contractor. Each foundation plate <br /> shall be 1/2" thick Type 316 stainless steel . Foundation bolts, nuts , <br /> washers, and spare parts shall be Type 316 stainless steel . <br /> r <br /> C . Stainless steel nameplates giving the name of the manufacturer, <br /> head , speed , and all other pertinent data shall be attached to each <br /> r pump and motor. <br /> r <br /> 8 .08 PUMPS <br /> A. General <br /> 1 . The pumps shall be totally submersible centrifugal pumps <br /> r with close-coupled motors designed to pump sewage. The <br /> design shall be such that the pumping units shall be <br /> automatically connected to the discharge piping when <br /> r lowered into place on the discharge connection . The <br /> pumps shall be easily removable for inspection or service , <br /> requiring no bolts , nuts or other fastenings to be removed <br /> for this purpose , or need for personnel to enter the pump <br /> r well . Each pump shall be fitted with a 316 stainless steel <br /> lifting cable of adequate strength , and shall be five (5) feet <br /> longer than wet well depth to control panel to permit raising <br /> r the pump for inspection and removal . <br /> 2. The impeller shall be constructed of nodular iron SP . The <br /> r hydraulic design shall incorporate a single vane centrifugal <br /> impeller. The design shall permit low liquid velocities and <br /> gradual acceleration and change of flow direction of the <br /> r pumped media. The impeller/casing design shall result in <br /> a passage free of surfaces to which solid or fibrous <br /> materials can adhere. The overall pump design shall <br /> r combine high efficiency, low required NPSH , large ball <br /> passage and the ability to handle high solids <br /> concentrations efficiently. All other parts shall be of close <br /> r grain gray iron construction , with all parts coming into <br /> contact with sewage protected by a coat of rubber-asphalt <br /> paint. All external bolts and nuts shall be of stainless steel . <br /> The impeller shall be of a centrifugal type , capable of <br /> passing 3-inch minimum diameter solids , fibrous material , <br /> and heavy sludge . If riser pipes are less than 3" in the wet <br /> well then the pumps must be grinder pumps . <br /> r <br /> r <br /> 8 - 4 <br /> r <br />
