Lifting of cast discharge heads for Vertical Turbine Pumps

Lifting of cast discharge head only (without Vertical Turbine Pump assembly components)

Lift the cast discharge heads (without pump assembly components) by installing eyebolts as

shown thru the driver mounting flange holes.

Do not use the lift pins at the base of the discharge head while lifting the cast discharge

head only unless the discharge head is secured by slings to prevent overturning. Never lift the

complete Vertical Turbine Pump assembly with eyebolts through the driver mounting flange.

Lifting of cast discharge head with Vertical Turbine Pump complete/partial pump assembly

Cast discharge heads with attached Vertical Turbine Pump components are recommended to be lifted using lift pins sized in accordance with the pump weights provided on the general arrangement and/or nameplate. Alternative lift method would be to use minimum of two straps on the cast discharge head, placing each strap around two ribs on the head.

The slings are attached to the lift pin shall maintain a minimum 12-inch length of the sling from the shaft end as shown in the detail below.
