6 General information

2.1.6.1 Duplicate performance pump

A duplicate pump is one in which the performance characteristics are the

same as another, within the variations permitted by these standards, and parts
are of the same type; but by reason of improved design and/or materials,
mounting dimensions and parts are not necessarily interchangeable.

2.1.6.2 Dimensionally interchangeable pump

An interchangeable pump is one in which the mounting dimensions are such

that the replacement pump can be mounted on the existing foundation and
match existing piping and driver, with hydraulic characteristics and materials
to be specified. Interchangeability may involve some variation, not necessarily
significant, as a result of manufacturing tolerances.

2.1.6.3 Identical pump

An identical pump is a duplicate of, and in addition is interchangeable with, a

specific pump. Where it is intended that a pump is to be identical in all
respects including parts, mountings, connecting flange dimensions, and
materials, it should be identified as identical with pump serial number XXXXX,
not duplicate. An "identical pump" will duplicate the original pump as closely
as manufacturing tolerances allow.

2.1.6.4 Rotation

Pump shaft rotation is determined as viewed from the driver end of the pump.
Left-hand threaded lineshaft joints will tighten when driven by a
counterclockwise (CCW) driver. Right-hand threaded joints will tighten when
driven by a clockwise (CW) driver.

2.1.6.5 Construction

The cross-sectional drawings (Figures 2.4 through 2.10) illustrate commonly

used parts in their proper relationship and a few typical construction
modifications but do not necessarily represent recommended design.
The figure numbers shown in Figure 2.1 are for convenient cross-reference
between tabulated names of parts and cross-sectional representation of
standard part numbers in use by any manufacturer.
