830B | Bronze Centrifugal Close Coupled Pump

• Bronze Construction:
  The pump's bronze body ensures excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use with a variety of liquids, including water, water solutions, and commercial chemicals. 

• Stainless Steel Shaft:
  Provides strength and durability, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and ensuring long-term reliability. 

• Carbon Face Mechanical Pump Seals - Buna STD:
  Standard seals are suitable for water, oils, and mild solvents, offering reliable performance up to 212°F. 

• Optional Viton® or Teflon® Seals:
  Available for applications involving severe solvents, difficult chemicals, and elevated temperatures, enhancing the pump's versatility. 

• Field Convertible to Pedestal Drive Model:
  Offers flexibility in installation, allowing the pump to be adapted to different drive configurations. 

• Handles Contaminated Liquids:
  Capable of pumping liquids with small solids or abrasives, although a reduction in mechanical seal life should be expected. 

• Extremely Quiet Operation:
  Minimizes noise, making the pump suitable for environments where noise reduction is important. 

• Easy Field Mounting:
  Pump-heads can be easily mounted to standard footless “C” flange motors, simplifying installation and maintenance. 

• Keyless Impeller Option (830B-07):
  Simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime, providing a hassle-free solution for impeller replacement. 

DRIVE

This close-coupled pump uses a standard NEMA 56C motor with no base. Single phase motors are non-reversible and are wired for the proper pump rotation which is counter-clockwise looking at inlet end of pump. See the dimensional drawing. Three phase motors must be checked out for proper rotation when pump is installed. Interchanging of any 2 wires in a 3-phase system will reverse motor rotation.

LIQUIDS & TEMPERATURES

The special pump alloys used provide corrosion resistance to many liquids including water, water solutions, and a wide range of commercial chemicals. Questions as to the chemical compatibility of special liquids should be referred to the factory.

Viscous liquids with a maximum viscosity of 2000 Saybolt Seconds Universal can be pumped. However, when pumping viscous liquids as compared with water, a reduction in flow and pressure occurs and the required horsepower rate increases.

Liquids heavier than water require additional horsepower in direct proportion to the increase in specific gravity. Liquids contaminated with small solids or abrasives can be handled, but a reduction in mechanical seal life must be expected. The pump uses a mechanical type shaft seal with a Nitrile rubber element. It is suitable for water, oils, and some mild solvents and it is limited to 212°F. Fluoroelastomer seals and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seals are available for severe solvents, difficult chemicals, and elevated temperatures.

SUCTION LIFT

These centrifugal pumps are not self-priming. They must be installed below the liquid level so that the liquid flows to the pump by gravity (flooded suction). However, if a foot valve is used at the beginning of the suction line, and all air is bled from the pump by manual priming, the pump will lift on the suction side up to 15 feet. Such a system relies entirely on the non-leaking foot valve for starting capability.
