🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the parts list to identify which item number represents the cap screws that fasten the motor bracket (Item 7) to the volute (Item 2). • Match the item numbers in the parts list with the leader lines and numbers on the cross‑section view to see exactly where each fastener is located. • Remember that machinery drawings are usually symmetrical about the centerline, so you may need to account for fasteners you cannot see in section.

💭 Think About

• Which specific cap screw item in the table is described in a way that suggests it is used with the motor bracket, and where do its leader lines terminate on the drawing? • Looking at the flange where the motor bracket meets the volute, how many cap screws are shown around that joint, and how would symmetry affect the total count? • Are any of the cap screws you see actually securing other components (such as the stuffing box, bearing housing, or nameplate) rather than the motor bracket to the volute?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the item number of the cap screws that join Item 7 (Motor Bracket) directly to Item 2 (Volute) by tracing the leader lines. • Only count screws located on the motor‑bracket‑to‑volute flange, not those holding covers, glands, or other parts. • After counting visible screws on one side of the centerline, check whether the drawing is a half‑section and multiply appropriately to get the full number.
