The FLOMAX® 8 316 SS Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump is a top-tier solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of various industries, including agricultural, industrial, OEM, and marine applications. This pump is constructed from high-quality 316 stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for handling abrasive and corrosive fluids.
One of the standout features of the FLOMAX® 8 is its self-priming capability. The pump can create a vacuum sufficient to lift liquids from heights up to 25 feet (7.6 m) above the source. Once primed, the built-in flapper valve maintains a full column of liquid in the suction line, ensuring continuous and efficient operation. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications where maintaining a consistent flow is critical.
The FLOMAX® 8 is versatile in its drive options, compatible with hydraulic motors, 56C and 145TC frame motors (NEMA standards; closest IEC equivalents depend on motor specifications), gas engines, and more. This adaptability allows it to be tailored to specific operational needs, whether for stationary or mobile applications. Additionally, the pump is available in a PumPAK® configuration, which is a fully assembled and run-tested pump end that can be easily coupled to various drivers.
