CLEAN AND INSPECT SEALING FACES. THEY SHOULD BE FREE FROM NICKS, BURRS OR WASHOUTS. SET ASIDE FOR RE-INSTALLATION ON NEW MODULES. 2. REMOVE USED FLUID ENDS. INSPECT POWER END FACE OF PUMP. MAKE SURE IT IS SMOOTH AND SQUARE. (MOVEMENT OF THE FLUID END MODULES SOMETIMES CAUSES THE FACE TO BE DISTORTED; IF THIS HAS HAPPENED, SERIOUS CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO REFACING THIS SURFACE). 3. REMOVE LINER RETAINER FLANGE, (ITEM #27, PART #6477) AND WEAR PLATE, (ITEM #3, PART #8477-3) AND NUTS FROM STUDS ON FLUID END. THIS FACE SHOULD BE FREE FROM RUST PREVENTIVE MATERIAL AND GREASE AND SHOULD BE DRY BEFORE INSTALLING MODULES ON TO POWER END. ALSO REMOVE VALVE COVER SCREW GLANDS AND PLUGS (ITEMS 18 & 19, PART #4575 AND #4675-1A), THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE VALVE SEAT DECKS. THEY MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE SEATS ARE INSTALLED. FOLLOW NORMAL VALVE AND SEAT INSTALLATION PROCEDURES. 4. INSTALL EACH SOUTHWEST "L" SHAPE MODULE TO POWER END. DO NOT TIGHTEN NUTS YET! LEAVE HAND TIGHT ONLY AT THIS POINT. 5. *NOTE NEW POSITION OF SUCTION AND DISCHARGE MANIFOLDS. DISCHARGE MANIFOLD IS LOCATED ON BACK SIDE OF MODULES. USING NEW SEALS (ITEM #37, PART #AJO-449R) INSTALL DISCHARGE MANIFOLD TO NEW MODULES. HAND TIGHTEN NUTS ONLY. THE SUCTION MANIFOLD IS LOCATED UNDER THE SHORT FLUID END.

INSTALL A PISTON ONTO THE PISTON END OF THE 2 PIECE ROD. THE CONNECTING STUD SHOULD BE IN THE PISTON ROD. AFTER PUTTING PISTON AND ROD INTO LINER, SCREW THE SUB ROD ONTO THE STUD AND TIGHTEN SUFFICIENTLY TO BRING BOTH FACES INTO CONTACT. INSTALL ROD CLAMP WITH WATER SPRAY SYSTEM. 11, RE-ASSEMBLE VALVE COVERS AFTER VALVE AND SEAT INSTALLATION. (STEP 3). MAKE SURE THAT SEAL (ITEM #20, PART #P-129) IS STILL IN PLACE ON SHOULDER IN PUMP. IN CHANGING SEALS IN THE FUTURE, ALWAYS STRETCH, GREASE AND PLACE SEAL IN THE PUMP WITH THE TAPERED I.D. FACING UP (AS SHOWN IN DWG.). NEVER TRY TO PUT SEAL ON PLUG.

IF ANY MOVEMENT OF FLUID END MODULES OR VALVE COVER ASSEMBLY OR LINER IS NOTED, PUMP SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND EVERYTHING RE-TIGHTENED AS NECESSARY. *ON THE GARDNER DENVER LINER ARRANGEMENT WE HAVE NOTICED THAT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME THE FLUID END MODULES HAVE A TENDENCY TO LOOSEN FROM THE POWER END. THIS IS DUE TO LINER CHANGES AND REPETITIVE TIGHTENING OF LINER RETAINER STUDS. PERIODICALLY ALL POWER END NUTS SHOULD BE TIGHTENED TO PREVENT MOVEMENT.- SouTHWEST OILFIELD Propucts, INc.

PART #8477-25A. FLUID END Economical and reliable service from triplex mud pump fluid cylinders and expendables is also dependent upon a continuous and thorough maintenance program. Trends toward higher pump pressures and speeds, reduced rig turn around times and a lengthening in the duration of drilling operations due to improved bit performance - all coupled with corrosive drilling muds - are subjecting mud pump fluid ends to higher stress levels and fatigue life problems. Additional problems are created for mud pump cylinders whenever the fluid ends receive improper and/or inadequate maintenance. Accelerated use of fluid end expendables, broken valve cover and cylinder studs, washouts and unrepairable cracks in the cylinders are frequently symptoms of poor fluid end maintenance. *Note: Before doing any work on the fluid end of a pump which has been operating, close the shut-off valve in the discharge line and open the by-pass line to the mud tanks. This relieves any pressure in the cylinders and eliminates the danger of opening a valve pot or removing a liner clamp while the partis still under a load. CYLINDERS (MODULES) Southwest Triplex Mud Pump Cylinders are of two piece “L” shape modular construction. There are three Discharge Modules and three Suction Modules. The Modules are constructed and designed so they will fit either the right hand, left hand or center position on the pump.
