Berkeley Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps
Fast priming pump with rugged, all iron construction for superior resistance to erosion and corrosion from most liquids. Built for continuous dependable performance and ease of repair. High lift design allows suction lifts up to 25 feet at sea level. Ideal for transfer applications, standby fire protection, dewatering and irrigation.
| Features & Benefits | |
| Extra-large priming chamber for faster, trouble-free priming and re-priming. Provides additional shaft seal protection. | |
| Priming port enables priming without removing the discharge hose. | |
| Sturdy cast iron bearing bracket houses pump shaft in heavy-duty anti-friction bearings. Pumps may be motor or engine driven through couplings or belts. Belt-drive has a pulley designed to maximize performance and extend service life. | |
| High-quality lead-free/chromate-free primer and paint provide durable finish. | |
| Drain plug enables casing to be completely drained for flushing and freeze protection. | |
| Build-in check valve prevents siphoning and need for re-priming. External check valve not required. Designed for easy replacement. | |
| Intake placed high for faster priming. | |
| Semi-open impeller design for larger solids handling capability. Mechanically balanced to reduce bearing loads and increase life. Threaded to the shaft and locked in place with a special locking capscrew for trouble-free operation. | |
| Volute incorporates precise geometric design for increased hydraulic efficiency. Made from thick-walled ASTM A48 class 30 cast iron to handle the stresses of everyday use. Back pull-out design allows easy repair without disturbing piping, completely exposing impeller for flushing or service. | |
