For inspection and repair, allow suitable clearances for pump or
motor removal.
• Pumps fitted with motors up to and including 4 kW require a
0.3 m clearance behind the motor.
• Pumps fitted with motors of 5.5 kW and up require a 0.3 m

7.2 Foundation and grouting of horizontally mounted


NK, NKG pumps with base frame
We recommend that you install the pump on a plane and rigid
concrete foundation which is heavy enough to provide permanent
support for the entire pump. The foundation must be capable of
absorbing any vibration, normal strain or shock. As a rule of
thumb, the weight of the concrete foundation must be 1.5 times
the weight of the pump.

TM03 4587 2206


The foundation must be 100 mm larger than the base frame on all
four sides. See fig. 8.

It is important to prepare a good foundation prior to the


installation of the pump.
NK, NKG pumps with base frame are always prepared for
grouting.
For NK, NKG pumps with 2-pole motors equal to or bigger than
55 kW, grouting of the base frame is mandatory in order to
prevent vibration energy from the rotating motor and liquid flow to
evolve.
