About Process Pumps

Also known as gear pumps, these produce a smooth flow of liquid for applications such as cooling engines, powering hydraulic equipment, and extracting liquid from holding tanks. Pumps are self-priming after you fill the pump chamber with liquid. As liquid in the chamber is expelled, a suction force is created which allows the pump to draw liquid upward. Do not use with solids.

Pumps with an open dripproof (ODP) motor are for use in clean, dry, and well-ventilated environments. They have a relief valve to prevent pressure buildup.

Pumps with a totally enclosed (TE) or totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor can be used in dusty, dirty, and damp environments.

Pumps that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by local energy efficiency requirements.

Note: Pumps must be filled with liquid before use. They need a constant flow of liquid and cannot run dry. If flow control is needed, place valves or reducers on the discharge side; never restrict the inlet of a pump with a valve or reducer.

Any-Direction Constant-Flow-Rate Pumps for Water

Mount these pumps in any position, even upside down. Pumps have a subfractional horsepower motor rated for intermittent use (return to room temperature before restarting). Also known as diaphragm pumps, they are for use in low-flow spraying, draining, and washdown applications. They are self-priming, which means they create a suction force to draw liquid upward. Pumps can run dry and do not require an initial fill, so they’re a good choice for applications without a constant flow of liquid. Do not use with solids.

Battery-operated pumps operate on a 12-volt battery. They are commonly used with agricultural sprayers and washers.

Pumps with a pressure switch automatically shut off the pump at the maximum pressure.

Self-Priming Circulation Pumps without Motor for Oil

Use these pumps to move lubricating oil such as hydraulic and motor oil. Also known as flexible impeller pumps, they create a suction force that can draw liquid upward to fill the pump chamber when your liquid source is below the pump. The impeller resists clogging and wear. Select a spark-free air motor for hazardous environments or attach an electric motor with a speed reducer or a belt pulley to alter the pump speed.

Repair kits (sold separately) include components such as impellers, O-rings, and seal lips.

Note: Pumps must be filled with liquid before use. They need a constant flow of liquid and cannot run dry.

Air-Powered Constant-Flow-Rate Pumps

Commonly called piston pumps, these are often used in high-pressure applications, such as hydrostatic testing of pipelines, tanks, and valves. Flow and outlet liquid pressure can be controlled by varying the air pressure. To calculate discharge liquid pressure, multiply the air pressure by the ratio shown in the table. Pumps are self-priming, which means they create a suction force to draw liquid upward to fill the pump chamber.

Note: Pumps must be filled with liquid before use. They need a constant flow of liquid and cannot run dry.

Harsh-Environment Self-Priming Water-Removal Pumps

This pump has a totally enclosed nonventilated (TENV) motor that is cooled by the liquid being pumped. Also known as a flexible impeller pump, it creates a suction force that can draw liquid upward to fill the pump chamber when your liquid source is below the pump. Mount up to 6 feet above your liquid source. Pump can pass solids up to 1/4" in diameter without clogging, so there’s no need to filter sediment and debris. A handle makes it convenient for on-the-go removal of bilge water, waste oil, and spills. Pump can also be used to cool marine engines and drain liquid from holding tanks.

Note: Pump must be filled with liquid before use. It needs a constant flow of liquid and cannot run dry.
