Common failures & inspection points

Suction/Discharge Connection Verification

Confirm actual port sizes match model designation (e.g., 3" = 75mm) and verify NPT or ISO thread specification against pump nameplate and installation drawing

Mechanical Seal Integrity and Lubrication Type

Verify seal type installed (carbon/ceramic, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide faces) matches marine corrosion specifications; check lubrication method (grease-lubricated vs oil-lubricated) for saltwater/freshwater environment compatibility

Maximum Operating Head and Pressure Certification

Confirm pump nameplate rated head (e.g., 112 ft) does not exceed certification for actual discharge line pressure; verify pump curve performance at installed outlet elevation and slurry/density conditions

Solids Handling Capability vs Actual Seawater/Bilge Contamination

Document maximum particle size rating (e.g., 3" for T-Series, 0.63" for 80 Series); assess whether installed strainers (mesh size) align with pump inlet design to prevent impeller jamming in marine debris conditions

Priming System Functionality and Dry-Suction Capability

Verify automatic repriming characteristics under actual marine conditions (partially filled suction lines, high suction lift); confirm two-vane semi-open impeller design matches nameplate 'self-priming' claim for stated suction lift elevation
