The 220 V single-phase electric pump with IP44 protection rating provides a robust solution for your water needs.
Its cast-iron body and its ceramic-graphite mechanical seal ensure exceptional durability, while the Noryl impeller and AISI 416 stainless steel motor shaft deliver optimal performance.
Looking to extend the life of your equipment? Fitting a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker protects against electrical overload and mechanical failure, preventing costly damage.
Worried about losing prime?
you are right, this can damage the pump. A non-return valve solves the problem: fitted close to the suction point together with a strainer, it maintains priming and, combined with a diaphragm pressure vessel, keeps network pressure constant.
Dry running, the enemy of any pump, is avoided with a low-water cut-out. This essential device protects the mechanical seal and preserves the integrity of the system.
Designed for liquids between 0 and 50 °C and a maximum pressure of 4 bar, this self-priming pump suits a wide range of applications.

Priming: the key to a successful start
Avoid damage from dry running by following this simple but essential priming procedure:
- Fit the equipment:
- Fit the strainer to filter out debris
- Install the non-return valve to hold the prime
- Prepare the pump:
- Connect the suction line securely
- Locate the priming plug on top of the unit
- Prime the pump:
- Carefully unscrew the priming plug
- Fill the pump body and suction line with water until it overflows
- Retighten the plug firmly
- Start the system:
- Check the electrical connections
- Switch the pump on
This method gives a smooth start and extends the life of the equipment. Repeat the process after any extended period of inactivity to maintain optimal pump performance.
