Listen "Another Tool In The Mechanical Engineers Toolbelt | Five Reasons To Consider Vertical Pumps"
Episode Synopsis
In this quick, 20 minute live discussion, Tony and I give you 5 reasons when you may want to consider using Vertical In-line Pumps vs. Horizontal End Suction Pumps. My special guest, Tony Furst, Regional Manager for Armstrong Fluid Technologies, is one of the world leaders in Vertical Pump technology. We will also stick around for live Q & A. Thank you and hope to see you there!

5 Reasons To Consider Vertical Inline (VIL Pumps) Pumps vs. End Suction Pumps:
INSTALLATION
Split Coupled Vertical In-Line pumps, being integral components of the pipework, eliminate the need for inertia bases, inertia base springs, flexible pipe connectors, field grouting, and alignment. Pipe hangers sized for the weight of the pump, piping, and fittings are the only supports required. Pipe stools, with vibration isolating pads, may be installed under each pipe leg.
SPACE-SAVING
Greatest floor space savings result when Vertical In-Line pumps are installed with Armstrong Suction Guides and Flo-Trex valves. Equivalent base mounted, horizontal split case pumps may take 3 times more floor space.
MAINTENANCE
The mechanical seal is the critical service item in any pump. Removal of the Series 4300 split spacer coupling allows all mechanical seal components to be withdrawn for servicing, through the resulting space between the pump and motor shafts, without disturbing other pump components or motor connections. Re-installing the rigid coupling brings the unit rotating assembly back to factory alignment specifications.
RELIABILITY
Dynamically balanced impeller and shaft assembly rotating vertically on the Series 4300 centerline translate to a quiet, long-lasting pump with minimum vibration, as static shaft deflection is eliminated. There are no pump bearings to service in the Vertical In-Line design. Series 4300 is a reliable, time-proven unit with less downtime.
FLEXIBILITY
Small footprint, low installation costs, reliable, and easy to maintain. These features, combined with a flow range of more than 30,000 USgpm (1,900 L/s), affirms the Series 4300 as the most flexible pump design available.
