9. Use of the SSV series in horizontal position
The SSV series electric pumps can be also used in the horizontal position. For this use, if specified in the
order form, the SV 30-60 series pump are supplied with appropriate pre-assembled support brackets.
If you own a standard version designed for vertical installation, and you wish to install it in the horizontal
position, a special set of supports can be requested from our sales department.
The brackets can be fitted as follows:
- Unscrew the 4 adapter/tie-rod anchoring nuts and remove the washers (we recommend not to loosen
the bracket fastening nuts only, since this could damage the adapter and/or the mechanical seal); fit
the bracket coded 161403820 (the one with only two fastening holes) in the two tie rods, so that, once
the pump has been installed, the terminal board will be on the right-hand side when looking at the
motor fan. Fasten both adapter and bracket using the previously removed washers and nuts. The nuts
must be tightened in cross sequence. For the driving torque, see table on page 108.
- Position the pump horizontally, resting it on the bracket; then install the pump body support bracket
with code 161403810 (with 4 fastening holes) on the base of the pump body, using the bolts supplied
with pump.
When following the above instructions both drain plug and terminal board will be on the side. If you want
the installation to be executed as shown in fig. 8, page 110, i.e. according to our design plans (with the
drain plug at the bottom), the installation is more complicated and should be carried out as follows:
- Remove the two coupling guards.
- Unscrew the coupling bolts and remove them with their washers. Separate the coupling from the pump
shaft.
- If is has not come out of its seat in the shaft, slide out the pump shaft/coupling connection pin.
- Remove the 4 screws that anchor the motor flange to the adapter. For models with motor above 11 kW
(MEC 160), there is a motor connector between the motor flange and the adapter. In this case, to re-
move the motor, loosen the 4 coupling bolts between the flange and the motor connector.
- Now remove the motor, loosen the 4 adapter/tie-rod fastening nuts and remove the washers, then slide
out the adapter. Rotate the adapter 90° clockwise when looking at the pump shaft from above, then
refit it in its seat taking care not to damage the fixed part of the mechanical seal or the O-ring on the
outer shell.
- Fit the adapter support bracket (code 161403820) in the two tie rods on the fill plug side, which now
becomes a drain plug. Fasten both adapter and bracket with the 4 nuts and washers, tightening the
nuts in cross sequence. For the driving torque, see table on page 108.
- Reassemble the motor positioning the terminal board opposite the support bracket, or in the most con-
venient position for electrical connection, following the above instructions in reverse order.
- Fasten the pump body support bracket (code 161403810) as described above.
