FEATURES
IMPELLER:
Cast iron, enclosed, non-clog design. No edges or corners to trap solids.
Dynamically and hydraulically balanced. Renewable bronze wearing ring minimizes
slippage, wear and seizing.
CASING:
Close-grained cast iron, streamlined with internal passages designed to effect
smooth flow.
SHAFT:
Large diameter, stainless steel construction, turned, ground and polished.
Impeller is secured to shaft by stainless steel key and bronze impeller nut and
washer.
STUFFING BOX:
Extra deep stuffing box with generous number of packing rings. Adjustable bronze
gland, with studs and nuts.
BEARINGS:
Bronze sleeve type radial bearing, and ball thrust bearing are both mounted in
cast iron combination bearing housing and motor pedestal. Tongue-in-groove
construction insures perfect alignment. Bearings are grease lubricated.
COUPLING:
Flexible type, precision-machined construction, held by key and set screws.
Eliminates wear on metal jaws. Load transmitted by cushion compression.
BASE:
Heavy close-grained cast iron base support; has integral flanged suction ell,
and easily removable large clean-out plug.
CONTROLS:
Motors should be provided with magnetic starters for thermal overload and low
voltage protection. Pilot control devices for the wet well are available in any
of the following types; float switches. electrodes, bubblers, diaphragm
switches, and FEDERAL SUBMERS-A-BULB (See Bulletin 253).
ACCESSORIES AND MODIFICATIONS:
The following accessory items are available for use with VSABM sewage pumps:
Steel or cast iron covers for wet well, small sump pumps for dry pit drainage,
dehumidifiers and blowers for dry pit ventilation, high water alarms,
alternators, special materials of construction for pumps, special enclosures for
motors and controls. control panels, etc.

Suggested Specifications for Architects and
Engineers
Furnish and install as shown on plans a Federal Pump Corporation Type VSABM
standard-fitted, vertical, non-clog dry pit simplex (or duplex) sewage pump
unit, (each) pump rated at _____G.P.M. at a Total Dynamic Head of _____ft. and
directly driven thru a flexible coupling by _____H.P, _____R.P.M, _____phase,
_____cycles, _____volts, drip-proof (or totally-enclosed, explosion-proof
motor(s).
Pump(s) shall have cast iron enclosed non-clog impeller, cast iron casing,
stainless steel shaft secured to impeller by key and nut. Deep stuffing box
shall have adjustable bronze gland. Radial bearing shall be bronze sleeve type
and thrust bearing shall be ball type, both mounted in cast iron combination
bearing housing and motor pedestal of tongue-in-groove construction. Coupling to
be flexible type and base to be heavy cast iron with clean-out plug.
Furnish a magnetic line voltage type starter in NEMA-1 (or NEMA-4 watertight;
NEMA-7 explosion-proof) wall-mounting enclosure for (each) motor, to provide
thermal overload and low voltage protection, plus control circuit.
Note: Specify level control for installation in wet well. Level controls can
be any of the following: float switch, electrode, diaphragm switch, bubbler or
FEDERAL SUBMERS-A-BULB (See Bulletin 253).
