SHURflo Pedestal-Mount Centrifugal Pumps
316 Stainless Steel, Bronze and Cast Iron Models
Refer to form L-4077 for General Operating and Safety Instructions and Applicable Warranty.
Description
SHURflo pedestal cast iron, bronze or 316 stainless steel units pump continuously, producing high flow rates under low-head
conditions. Designed for continuous low-pressure circulation and transfer of nonflammable liquids, utility, boiler feed,
general transfer, filtration, cooling towers, condensate return, marine applications, fountains, boosters, water circulation,
irrigation, spraying systems, jockey pump service, chemical processing, aggressive liquid applications and other general-
purpose pumping compatible with pump component materials where no suction lift or no self-priming is required.
• Capacities to 170 GPM, heads to 74 ft.
• 1/3 to 3 HP AC requirements (motors not included).
• Clog-resistant, semi-open metallic impellers.
• Pumps feature maintenance-free ball bearings and an easily accessible front drain plug for draining liquid.
• Maximum casing working pressure is 200 PSI.
• 3/4" to 2" female NPT inlet and outlet ports.
• Discharge port can be rotated at 90-degree intervals.
• Standard pump models (at 3450 RPM) will handle specific gravities to 1.1 (at 100 SSU or less). For specific gravities to 1.4
(at 100 SSU or less), increase motor HP by one size but not to exceed standard 3 HP motor at 3450 RPM or 65 in.-lbs. of torque
maximum. Higher specific gravity fluids are not recommended.
• Standard pump models (at 3450 RPM) will handle viscosity to 100 SSU (at 1.1 specific gravity or less) and up to 200 SSU
(specific gravity of 1.0 or less). For viscosity up to 400 SSU (specific gravity of 1.0 or less), increase motor HP by one size but not
to exceed standard 3 HP motor at 3450 RPM or 65 in.-lbs. of torque. For fluids with a viscosity greater than 400 SSU, pump
speed must be reduced below 3450 RPM.
• Cast Iron and Bronze units handle temperatures to 200° F; Stainless Steel units handle temperatures to 250° F.
• Seals: Pumps are equipped with a carbon ceramic mechanical seal having 316 stainless steel components. These seals
protect the pump shaft, which is 316 series stainless steel, from chemical exposure. Buna-N seal and o-ring in cast iron and
bronze models, with Viton seal and o-ring in 316 stainless steel models. Aftermarket options listed below.
SHURFLO CLOSE-COUPLED PUMPS – Motor-driven models with NEMA 56J motor frame and base are available.
REPAIR SEALS AND OPTIONS – Standard (Viton & Buna-N) and an upgraded (Silicon Carbide) seal are available. If abrasive
or small, particulated fluids are being pumped, an upgrade to the silicon carbide mechanical seal with Viton elastomers is
recommended. Standard and upgraded seals can be located in the repair parts list pages in this manual.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres. When
pumping hazardous or dangerous materials, use only in room or area designated for
that purpose. For your protection, always wear proper clothing, eye protection, etc. in
case of any malfunction. For proper handling techniques and cautions, contact your
chemical supplier, insurance company and local agencies (fire dept., etc.). Failure to
comply with this warning could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Pumps are not self-priming and cannot suction lift, flooded inlet
is required. If inlet is not flooded when the pump is running,
seal failure will result and is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
