4300

Best Commercial HVAC Pump DesignAvailable Since 1969

INSTALLATIONVertical In-Line pumps, being integral components of the pipework, eliminate need for inertia bases, inertia base springs, flexiblepipe connectors, field grouting and alignment. Pipe hangers sized for the weight of pump, piping and fittings are the onlysupports required. Pipe stools, with vibration isolating pads, may be installed under each pipe leg.

SPACE SAVINGGreatest floor space savings result when Vertical In-Line pumps are installed with Armstrong Suction Guides and Flo-Trexvalves. Equivalent base mounted, horizontal split case pumps may take 3 times more floor space.

MAINTENANCEThe mechanical seal is the critical service item in any pump. Removal of the Series 4300 split spacer coupling allows allmechanical seal components to be withdrawn for servicing, through the resulting space between pump and motor shafts,without disturbing other pump components or motor connection. Re-installing the rigid coupling brings the unit rotatingassembly back to factory alignment specifications.

RELIABILITYDynamically 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 theVertical In-Line design. Series 4300 is a reliable, time-proven unit with less down time.

FLEXIBILITYSmall footprint, low installation costs, reliable and easy to maintain. These features, combined with flow range in excess of 30,000 USgpm (1,900 L/s), affirms the Series 4300 as the most flexible pump design available.

Life Cycle Value at Every Turn:

Split CoupledThe axially split, spacer type rigid coupling permits seal maintenance without disturbing the pump or motor connections.The mechanical seal is accessible and easily replaced. (Outside multi-spring balanced mechanical seal is illustrated).

Sealing ArrangementsArmstrong series 4300 split coupled Vertical In-Line pumps are available with two mechanical seal arrangements. Both canbe removed easily and quickly for servicing without costly removal of the motor or pump from the piping. The highperformance outside type mechanical seal combines the advantages of a multi-spring balanced seal with premium qualityand is the easiest to remove. The inside type mechanical seal provides an economical alternative.

1) Split coupling with outside seal. Axially splitcoupling shown with coupling guard removed.Coupling bolts are still in place. Rotatingelement of seal is seen below the coupling,above gland plate.

3) Disconnect seal flush line and remove glandplate bolts. The gland plate and seal seat maythen be taken out between the space in theshafts. With inside seal the complete seal isremoved following the gland plate.

4) New Seal may now be installed. Reversethe procedure: Install new seal, replace glandplate, replace coupling and restart pump.Rigid coupling retains factory alignment.

2) Remove the coupling bolts. The couplinghalves (with drive and annular positioning keys)are taken from motor and pump shafts. Loosenset screws on seal rotating element and slidefrom pump shaft. (For inside seal see step 3)

Armstrong takes you back to the future with the Series 4600 Horizontal Split Case (HSC) Pump for HVAC and industrial applications.

The Series 4600, drawing on over 100 years of pump design expertise and leadership, is the state of the art in HSC pumps. It meets or exceeds the requirements of its intended market applications.

This Family of pumps capitalize on the “Tilted Part-ing” concept to minimize turbulence at the eye of the impeller by its straight laminar approach, thus maxi-mizing efficiency. This also results in the lowest profile and minimum floor space of any HSC pump on the market today. The family was designed with com-monality of parts, low installation costs, and ease of maintenance objectives.

• Armstrong Vertical In-Line pump, the best design for hvac

systems, introduced in 1969.

• Armstrong dualARM Vertical In-Line pump, introduced in 1994.

• dualARM Series 4302 & 4382 contain all the features and

advantages of two Armstrong time proven Vertical In-Line pumps,

in one casing.

Floor Space Value: In a typical system, for example 1000 USgpm flow at 50 ft head (63.1 L/s at 15.2 m), the dualARM needs only one quarter of the space

required for two end suction base mounted pumps and one eighth the space required for two split case horizontal pumps.

Installation Value: Vertical In-Line pumps become an integral component of the piping system. This configuration eliminates the need for flexible

connectors, inertia bases, grouting and field alignment.

Maintenance Value: Mechanical seals require the greatest amount of maintenance in any pump. Service is performed on any Vertical In-Line pump without

removing the casing from the piping. The Series 4302 split-spacer coupling design allows the mechanical seals to be serviced without

disturbing the pump or motor connections.

System Value: Standby and parallel pump systems may now be designed using only one pump piping set. Two pumps in a single large port casing

allow both pumps to operate simultaneously, in true parallel fashion, with no loss in single pump efficiency.

Design Value: dualARM Vertical In-Line pumps, designed with a swing split-flapper valve in the discharge port, prevent liquid recirculating when only

one pump is operating. Unique Armstrong isolation valves allow one pump to be isolated and removed for service while the second

pump remains in operation.

Adding Value to Hydronic Systems

Armstrong dualARM Vertical In-Line pumps, when installed with Armstrong Suction Guides 1 and Armstrong Flo-Trex combination valves

2, result in the greatest added value and lowest life cycle cost of any equipment that can be designed into today’s commercial, industrial,

hvac and packaged systems.

1 The Armstrong Suction Guide, designed with flow stabilizing

plates in the outlet port, allows the guide to be bolted directly

onto the pumpsuction flange, enabling the vertical piping to

turn 90° into the pump. A disposable fine mesh start-up

strainer and permanent perforated stainless steel strainer

complete this valuable fitting.

The Suction Guide eliminates the need for a separate suction

strainer, long radius elbow and minimum straight pipe run to

the pump suction.

2 The Armstrong Flo-Trex triple function combination valve is

designed to operate equally as a non-slam check valve, drip

tight isolation valve and properly designed throttling valve. The

throttling feature enables a system head increase to operate

the pump at design conditions. The Armstrong uniquely

designed valve is field convertible from 90° angle type to 180°

straight type.

The Flo-Trex combination valve eliminates the need for a

discharge elbow, a separate check valve and a throttling type

isolation valve.

(21) Next, reinstall the shaft pin (131-1) into the hole in the pump shaft making sure that it seats inside thehole in the back ofthe coupling also.Reattach the other coupling half and tighten the two couplingbolts with an allen wrench.See torque specifications, page 14.

(22) Refer to Section 5B for motor installation instructions.

7C Replacing the Mechanical Seal

VMS 3203 – VMS 3210-1 VMS 4502-1 – VMS 4507-2 VMS 6401 – VMS 6404

(1) Remove the coupling guard on each side of the pump’s cast iron motor bracket (162).

(2) Remove the two socket head bolts that hold the two halves of the lower spacer coupling together (120-6).Remove the front half of the shaft coupling which will then expose the shaft pin (131-1).

(3) Next, loosen but do not remove the four hex head bolts (120-5) that secure the remaining half of the spacer coupling to the upper coupling and bearing assembly above.With these bolts loosened, use pliers to carefully grasp and remove the shaft pin (131-1) from the pump shaft.This will disengage the pump shaft from the coupling.

(4) Completely remove the four hex head bolts (120-5) that were loosened in the previous step.With these bolts removed, remove the remaining half of the spacer coupling.

(5) Remove the four retaining bolts from the stationary seal plate (120-3).Loosen the three setscrews in the locking collar above the stationary seal plate and slide the entire cartridge seal

out of the pump.

(6) Carefully install the new cartridge seal over the pump shaft and into the top of the pump being sure that it is firmly seated. Re-install the four retaining bolts (120-3) that secure the cartridge seal to the pump and tighten the three setscrews in the locking collar.

(7) Reinstall the spacer coupling. Thread the hex head bolts (120-5) back through the top of the spacer coupling loosely so it is supported but do not fully tighten. Be sure that the cross key is aligned with the keyway in the bearing assembly above. Spin the spacer coupling so that hole in the pump shaft is aligned with hole in the rear of the spacer coupling.

(8) Reinstall the shaft pin (131-1) through the hole in the pump shaft making sure that it seats in the blind hole in the back of the spacer coupling. Once the locking pin has been installed and the pump shaft and spacer coupling are engaged via the locking pin, install the front half of the spacer coupling and install the two socket head bolts (120-6) that secure it.

(9) Firmly tighten the four hex head bolts (120-5) that secure the spacer coupling to the upper coupling and bearing assembly above being sure that the drive key is positioned correctly so that these parts are properly engaged with each other.

The working length of the seal is set by completion of this step. There is no other adjustment that needs to be made to the seal.
