Companion Flanges Kits
Companion Flanges offer numerous advantages, making them a popular choice in various building trades and industrial applications:
-
Ease of Installation:
These flanges are straightforward to install as they do not require welding or threading. This simplifies adding a flanged pump into a threaded piping environment.
-
Flexibility:
This is a simple alternative when the system has NPT (threaded pipe) and adapting to a flanged pump is required.
-
Kit Contents:
The kit contains two threaded flanges, two flange gaskets, and the needed amount of bolts and nuts to make a secure connection from piping to the flange connected pump.
-
Cost-Effective:
By reducing labor time and eliminating the need for additional bracing or construction materials, companion flanges can significantly lower overall costs.
Pressure Gauge
Buying a Pressure Gauge for your pump is essential for several reasons:
-
Monitoring Performance:
A pressure gauge helps you monitor the pump’s performance by showing the pressure differential between the suction and discharge nozzles. This ensures the pump is operating at its best efficiency point (BEP), which is crucial for optimal performance. They are an almost indispensable troubleshooting tool for the entire liquid movement system.
-
Preventing Damage:
By keeping an eye on the pressure levels, you can prevent potential damage caused by overpressure or under pressure conditions. This helps in maintaining the longevity of your pump and associated equipment.
-
Detecting Issues Early:
Pressure gauges can help detect issues such as leaks, blockages, or pump inefficiencies early on. This allows for timely maintenance and repairs, reducing downtime and costly repairs.
-
Ensuring Safety:
Maintaining the correct pressure is vital for the safe operation of the pump and the entire system. Pressure gauges help ensure that the system operates within safe pressure limits.
-
Cost-Effective Maintenance:
Regular monitoring with a pressure gauge can lead to more efficient maintenance schedules, reducing unexpected breakdowns and extending the life of your pump.
Leak Detection Device
Investing in a Leak Detection Device for your pump is a smart decision for several reasons:
-
Early Detection:
These devices can identify leaks early, preventing minor issues from becoming major problems such as motor bearing damage. This can save you from costly repairs and extensive downtime.
-
Preventing Damage:
By detecting leaks promptly, you can avoid damage to your pump and surrounding equipment. This helps maintain the integrity of your entire system.
-
Safety:
Leaks can pose safety hazards, such as electrical shorts or slippery surfaces. A leak detection device helps mitigate these risks by alerting you to potential dangers. It also can alert you as to pumped liquids getting onto the ground causing environmental hazard issues.
-
Efficiency:
Maintaining optimal pressure and flow rates ensures your pump operates efficiently. Leak detection devices help you monitor and maintain these parameters, improving overall system performance.
-
Cost Savings:
Early leak detection can lead to significant cost savings by reducing water waste, energy consumption, possible environmental damage, and the need for emergency repairs.
Orifice
Purchasing an Orifice for your pump can be beneficial for several reasons:
-
Priming:
An orifice helps ensure that the pump can constantly purges unwanted air inside the pump that can cause pump cavitation causing catastrophic damage.
-
Mechanical Seal Protection:
Constant air purging near the top of the Iconic Pump insure that the liquid used to cool the seal faces is always present and that mechanical seals do not operate in a dry environment causing friction heat and damage
-
Cost-Effective Solution:
Keeping the air purges from the pump greatly reduces heat, friction, and possible cavitation. These factors increase the pump longevity because heat and friction, in pump applications, is our greatest potential failure point.
