[NARRATOR] The Viking Pump ROOTS program is proud to partner with House of Hope in serving the Cedar Valley. [DUSKY] Female-led households in Iowa struggle for economic security more so than their married or partnered counterparts and women who age out of foster care are the highest at risk for becoming single mothers in homelessness. So if we are going to really make a generational impact, which is our goal, we want to truly break cycles for good, long-term. We have to address what's happening with single mothers and women who age out of foster care.

Welcome, in this video we will guide you through the replacement of o-rings in an O-Pro® Cartridge seal for pumps with the U-Plus™ bracket.

[Barbara] You know, the Food Bank's about bringing people together to solve an issue that exists - the issue is food insecurity. Our job is to educate the community on what food insecurity is and how it affects people on a day-to-day basis. Our 10-year target is "every meal every day for everyone," we want to ensure that people in Northeast Iowa have access to food. If we didn't have community partners it wouldn't happen.

Welcome, in this video quick tip video we will guide you through the installation of Viking Pump’s O-Pro® Guard seal into a pump with the U-Plus™ bracket. Please consult the appropriate technical service manual for safety information. A copy of the latest revision can be found on our website at vikingpump.com.

Since our founding in 1911, Viking Pump has built over 7,000,000 pumps and supplied them to customers all over the world. These pumps handle the broadest range of liquids in the industry. We’ve prepared a listing of 50 Viking pump applications, tying each to a state where this application can commonly be found. In our fifth episode, let’s explore Viking Pump applications in New Mexico, Massachusetts, Alaska, Kansas, and Oregon.

In a previous Pump Report Chad discussed the motors used to power pumps. But how do you connect a pump to that motor? And what if you want to run the pump slower than motor speed? In this episode Chad talks about drives and their related equipment. 

The term “drive” is used to describe the ancillary equipment used to mount and power a pump. This includes the motor, which we’d already discussed, but can also include a baseplate, coupling, guard, reducer, and more.

In this video we will guide you through the conversion from a behind the rotor seal to a component mechanical stuffing box seal in Viking Pump’s stainless-steel pumps – with U-Plus™ bracket and ProPort™ casing. 

This video applies to these pump models:
H4127C, HL4127C, K4127C, KK4127C, L4127C, LL4127C, H4227C, HL4227C, K4227C, KK4227C, L4227C, LL4227C

In this Quick Tip video, we will show you how to switch between flange sizes or port types on Viking Pump’s internal gear pumps with the ProPort™ casing.

First, loosen and remove the capscrews securing the existing flange.

Remove the flange.

Remove and discard the gasket or o-ring from the casing.

Repeat for the second flange.

Next, ensure the sealing glands near the casing ports are clean and free of debris.

Flanges or NPT ports can be installed using o-rings or gaskets, depending on process needs.
