Suction Guides
Designed for direct mounting on the suction flange of horizontal and vertical pumps.
Model SGG:
Model SGHH: Supplied with ductile iron body and ANSI-250/PN25 flanges.
Reducing Elbow
The Suction Guide connects same size piping to the pump suction, but can also connect to inlet piping one size larger than the pump suction, eliminating a reducing elbow.
Flo-Trex Valves
Designed for installation on the discharge side of centrifugal pumps.
Fewer components required as redundant fittings are eliminated. Fewer connections required with Armstrong's multi-purpose fittings. Less installation time required by reducing the number of fittings. Less installation space required as pump inlet spool piece is eliminated.
Armstrong Suction Guide with Strainer
Armstrong Method
Components eliminated using Armstrong Flo-Trex Valves and Suction Guide strainer for base mounted single and double suction pump installations and Vertical In-Line installations:
1. Y Strainer
In addition, use of the FTV-G style eliminates three welded flange connections.

Suction Guide Body Cast iron, or ductile iron, with ANSI or PN16 flanges. Same size ports are available with oversized inlet flange to eliminate reducer. Guide Vanes Stabilizing vanes reduce turbulence, thereby creating optimum flow conditions and minimizing stress on pump components. Strainer 1 /8" (3 mm) perforated stainless steel, star-shaped for added strength, designed to provide large free flow area to reduce pressure drop.
Start-up Strainer Removable fine mesh strainer, furnished as a standard item, helps prevent mechanical seal or instrument damage during initial run period. Optional magnet to help eliminate free floating metallic particles from system.

Technical Information
Design Benefits
Reduced field installation and material costs. Cast iron or ductile valve body with hard flanges, or ductile iron valve body with standard grooved ends. Eliminates requirement for two separate valves on pump discharge and, in some cases, a 90 elbow. FTV-G eliminates three welded flange connections. Soft seat to ensure tight shut-off. Spring-closure design uses a non-slam silent check valve feature for vertical mounting. Flow measurement and pump throttling capabilities. Temperature measurement capability. Spring-closure design check valve prevents gravity or reverse circulation when pump is not operating. Bonnet O Ring can be replaced under full system pressure by back seating of valve stem. Suitable for maximum working pressure up to 375 psi (26 bars) and temperatures up to 300F (150C). Valve seat can be changed in the field without use of special tools. Low pressure drop due to Y pattern valve design. Valve Cv designed to ASHRAE flow recommendations for quiet system operation.
Flow/Temperature Measurement Ports Drain Connection (on opposite side)
Flo-Trex Valves
Furnish and install on the discharge side of each pump an Armstrong Model FTV Flo-Trex Combination Valve. Each valve is to incorporate the following three functions in one body: Tight shut-off, spring-closure type silent non-slam check and effective throttling with flow measurement capability. The body shall have (2) " NPT connections on each side of the valve seat. Two connections to have brass pressure and temperature metering ports, with Nordel check valves and gasketed caps. Two other connections to be supplied with brass drain plugs. Metering ports are to be interchangeable with drain ports to allow for measurement flexibility when installed in tight locations. The valve disc shall be bronze plug & disc type with high impact engineered resin seat to ensure tight shut-off and silent check operation.
Insulation
(Available for 2.5" - 6"/65-150 Flo-Trex Valves)
Each valve shall be furnished with a pre-formed removable PVC insulation jacket to meet ASTM D1784 Class 14253-C, MEA #787, ASTM-E-84 and ASTM136 with a flame spread rating of 25 or less and a smoke development rating of 50 or less. There will be provided sufficient mineral fiberglass insulation to meet ASHRAE 90.1-1989 specifications in operating conditions with maximum fluid design operating temperature range of 141F-200F (60C93C) and mean rating temperature of 125F (52C).
