PUMPS
Armstrong Fluid Technology
Design Envelope permanent magnet pumps
Armstrong introduced an expanded range of Design Envelope Permanent Magnet pumps (motors up to 60hp) that are engineered to deliver 20% lower operating costs than variable speed pumps with standard induction motors. Design Envelope Permanent Magnet pumps feature smaller overall dimensions and are easier to install because permanent magnet motor technology delivers a substantial reduction in both size and weight. Design Envelope technology also provides highly accurate flow metering (+/- 5%). This means contractors and engineers can avoid the cost of purchasing and installing flow meters for HVAC systems.
Franklin Electric
Grinder pump
The Little Giant 16G Series heavy-duty 1 hp grinder pump is designed to deliver serious power as a new or replacement pump for the most challenging residential and light commercial wastewater applications. Available in both 115V or 230V, it features a silicon carbide mechanical seal that provides up to six times longer seal life with lower thermal expansion and higher abrasion resistance when compared to carbon-ceramic seals. The forceful 1 hp class F motor provides optimal power to prevent flushables and other debris from clogging and causing downtime, while the discharge is customizable to a contractor’s needs. Installers can choose to use the 1 1/4" discharge or utilize the 2" adapter pre-assembled to the pump.
