The FLOMAX® 40 Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump is a high-performance solution designed to meet the demanding needs of various industries, including industrial, agricultural, OEM, and marine applications. This pump is engineered to create a vacuum sufficient to lift liquids from heights up to 25 feet (7.6 m) above the source, ensuring efficient and reliable operation. Once primed, the built-in flapper valve maintains a full column of liquid in the suction line, preventing loss of prime and ensuring continuous operation.
The FLOMAX® 40 is available as a fully assembled and run-tested pump end, known as the PumPAK®, which can be easily coupled to a variety of drivers, including 215JP frame motors and gas engines. Additionally, a bearing pedestal is available for T-frame motors or belt drives, providing flexibility in installation and operation.
Constructed with durability in mind, the FLOMAX® 40 features a stainless steel drive sleeve, stainless steel fasteners, and a renewable wear plate, all contributing to its long-lasting performance. The semi-open dynamically balanced impeller ensures smooth and efficient operation, while optional double grease-lubricated seals and stainless steel impellers are available for handling abrasive and corrosive services.
This versatile pump is commonly used in a wide range of applications, such as bilge pumps, auxiliary fire pumps, ballast transfer pumps, washdown pumps, fertilizer and pesticide pumps, applicators and sprayers, blending pumps, nurse tanks, bulk transfer pumps, and more. With ABS Type Approval, the FLOMAX® 40 meets stringent standards for safety and reliability.
