FL50-Series Specifications
1.01 GENERAL:
The contractor shall provide labor, material, equipment, and incidentals required to provide (QTY) centrifugal pumps as specified
herein. The pump models covered in this specification are Series FL50 single phase pumps. The pump furnished for this application shall be
model ______________as manufactured by Liberty pumps.
2.01 OPERATING CONDITIONS:
Each submersible pump shall be rated at 1/2 hp_____ volts single phase 60 Hz. 3450 RPM. The unit shall produce ______G.P.M. at ______
feet of total dynamic head.
The submersible pump shall be capable of handling sewage effluent with 1/2" solid handling capability. The submersible pump shall have a
shut-off head of 47 feet and a maximum flow of 55 GPM @ 15 feet of total dynamic head.
The pump shall be controlled with:
______A piggy back style on/off float switch.
______A NEMA 4X simplex control panel with three float switches and a high water alarm.
______A NEMA 4X duplex control panel with three float switches and a high water alarm.
3.01 CONSTRUCTION:
Each centrifugal sewage pump shall be equal to the
certified Series FL50 SERIES pumps as manufactured by Liberty Pumps,
Bergen NY. The castings shall be constructed of class 25 cast iron. The motor housing shall be oil filled to dissipate heat. Air filled motors
shall not be considered equal since they do not properly dissipate heat from the motor. All mating parts shall be machined and sealed with a
Buna-N o-ring. All fasteners exposed to the liquid shall be stainless steel. The motor shall be protected on the top side with sealed cord entry
plate with molded pins to conduct electricity eliminating the ability of water to enter internally through the cord. The motor shall be protected
on the lower side with a unitized ceramic/carbon seal with stainless steel housings and spring. The pump shall be furnished with stainless
steel handle.
4.01 ELECTRICAL POWER CORD
The submersible pump shall be supplied with a 10 or 25 feet of multiconductor power cord. It shall be cord type SJTW, capable of continued
exposure to the pumped liquid. The power cord shall be sized for the rated full load amps of the pump in accordance with the National
Electric Code. The power cable shall not enter the motor housing directly but will conduct electricity to the motor by means of a water tight
compression fitting cord plate assembly, with molded pins to conduct electricity. This will eliminate the ability of water to enter internally
through the cord, by means of a damaged or wicking cord.
5.01 MOTORS
Single phase motors shall be oil filled, permanent split capacitor, class B insulated NEMA B design, rated for continuous duty. At maximum
load the winding temperature shall not exceed 135 degrees C unsubmerged. Since air filled motors are not capable of dissipating heat they
shall not be considered equal. The pump motor shall have an integral thermal overload switch in the windings for protecting the motor. The
capacitor circuit shall be mounted internally in the pump.
FL50_P4 R7/15/2008 ©Copyright 2008 Liberty Pumps Inc. All rights reserved. Specifications subject to change without notice.
6.01 BEARINGS AND SHAFT
Upper and lower ball bearings shall be required. The bearings shall be a single ball / race type bearing. Both bearings shall be permanently
lubricated by the oil, which fills the motor housing. The motor shaft shall be made of 300 or 400 series stainless steel and have a minimum
diameter of .625".
7.01 SEALS
The pump shall have a unitized carbon / ceramic seal with stainless steel housings and spring equal to Crane Type 6A. The motor plate /
housing interface shall be sealed with a Buna-N o-ring.
8.01 IMPELLER
The impeller shall be a class 25 iron. It shall be threaded to the motor shaft.
9.01 CONTROLS
All units can be supplied with CSA and UL approved automatic wide angle tilt float switches. The switches shall be equipped with piggy back
style plug that allows the pump to be operated manually without the removal of the pump in the event that a switch becomes inoperable.
Manual Pumps are operable by means of a pump control panel.
10.01 PAINT
The exterior of the casting shall be protected with Powder Coat paint.
11.01 SUPPORT
The pump shall have cast iron support legs, enabling it to be a free standing unit.
12.01 SERVICEABILTY
Components required for the repair of the pump shall be shipped within a period of 24 hours.
13.01 FACTORY ASSEMBLED TANK SYSTEMS WITH GUIDE RAIL AND QUICK DISCONNECT DISCHARGE
______ Guide factory mounted rail system with pump suspended by means of bolt on quick disconnect which is sealed by means of nitrile
grommets or o-rings. The disconnect system shall have an internal ball check. The Discharge piping shall be schedule 80 PVC and
furnished with a PVC shut-off ball valve. The Tank shall be wound fiberglass or roto-molded plastic. A cast iron inlet hub shall be provided
with the fiberglass systems.
______ Stainless steel Guide Rail
______ Zinc plated steel Guide Rail
______ "diameter of basin size
______ "height of basin size
______ "distance from top of tank to discharge pipe outlet
______ Fiberglass cover
______ Structural foam polymer cover
______ Steel cover
______ Simplex System with Outdoor panel and alarm
______ Duplex System with Outdoor panel and alarm
______ Separate Outdoor Alarm
______ Remote Outdoor Alarm

14.01 TESTING
The pump shall have a ground continuity check and the motor chamber shall be Hi-potted to test for electrical integrity, moisture content and
insulation defects. The motor and volute housing shall be pressurized, and an air leak decay test is performed to ensure integrity of the
motor housing. The pump shall be run, voltage current monitored, and the tester checks for noise or other malfunction.
15.01 QUALITY CONTROL
The pump shall be manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified Facility.
16.01 WARRANTY
