Design Features

CASING Constructed as ASTM A48 class 30 cast iron. Back pull-out design allows the pump

to be serviced without disturbing the piping. 1/4 npt suction gauge and 1/8 npt drain
tappings are standard. Self-venting design prevents air binding within the pump.
After initial priming the pump never needs to be primed again.

MECHANICAL SEAL Type 21 buna-n seal is rated to 225°F and pressures to 175PSI. Carbon seal face

mates with the ceramic seat providing years of trouble free service. Alternate seals
available upon request.

IMPELLER The hydraulic design of the impeller maximizes pressure and gpm while minimizing

horsepower. The enclosed vacuum cast impeller is made of cast bronze.

ADAPTER The precision machining of the adapter allows for easy assembly of the pump. Con-

struction consists of ASTM A48 class 30 cast iron.

MOTOR The NEMA 56J motor utilizes a 416 stainless steel shaft. The motor’s heavy duty

ball bearings withstand axial and radial thrust loads with no problem. Standard en­closure type is drip-proof but alternates are available.
