Product Overview
Technical, In‑Depth Product Description
The FLOMAX® 15 SS Double Seal model is engineered for superior operational reliability across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and agricultural applications. Its 316 stainless steel construction provides exceptional resistance to chemical attack, corrosive media, and abrasive particulates, ensuring long service life in environments where standard materials would degrade rapidly.
The pump incorporates a self‑priming centrifugal design that enables rapid re‑priming after the initial fill, minimizing downtime during intermittent or variable‑flow operations. A key feature of this model is its double mechanical seal system, utilizing Silicon Carbide/Silicon Carbide/Viton components. This configuration is lubricated with grease and isolated by a pressurized barrier fluid chamber that maintains higher pressure than the pumped medium. As a result, the system prevents process fluid intrusion into the seal chamber and allows extended dry‑run capability without causing damage – a significant advantage in applications prone to inconsistent flow or suction interruptions.
The semi‑open impeller, with a maximum diameter of 5.94" (150.87 mm), ensures efficient handling of liquids with entrained solids or varying viscosities while maintaining strong hydraulic performance. The FLOMAX® 15 SS Double Seal achieves flow rates up to 350 GPM (79 m³/h) and heads up to 130 feet (40 meters), offering a broad operational envelope suitable for both high‑flow and moderate‑head duties.
Multiple drive configurations – including close‑coupled motor options, engine drive, hydraulic drive, pedestal mount, and PumPAK® – provide installation flexibility across OEM systems, agricultural equipment, bulk fluid transfer installations, and stationary industrial setups. The pump is also ABS Type Approved, further demonstrating its suitability for marine and offshore applications where reliability and material integrity are critical.
