External Shimless Adjustment Design
Doubles the Life
of the Impeller and Wearplate
with the Turn of a Hand.

|
The External Shimless Coverplate allows for easy adjustment of the clearance between the impeller and the wearplate. This process eliminates the need to realign belts, couplings or other drive components. In turn, the working height of the seal assembly and impeller back clearance are not disturbed. The unique collar and adjusting screw allow for incremental adjustments of the wearplate clearance with the turn of a hand. |
| Removable Coverplate with “Easy-Grip” Handle
The removable coverplate with “easy-grip” handle and pusher bolt capability provides quick and easy access to the pump interior without disconnecting piping. Clogs can be removed and the pump can be returned to service in minutes. Impeller, seal, wearplate and flap valve can also be accessed through coverplate opening for inspection or service. |

Solids Handling Impeller
Two-vane, semi-open handling impeller handles up to 3” (75 mm) diameter solids, depending on pump model. Pump out vanes on impeller shroud reduce foreign material buildup behind impeller and reduce pressure on seal and bearings.
(Five vane impellers are available for higher head applications when solids capability is not essential.) |

Exclusive Gorman-Rupp Cartridge Seal
Exclusive double-floating, self-aligning, oil lubricated mechanical cartridge seal with stationary and rotating face of silicon carbide or tungsten titanium carbide is specifically designed for abrasive industrial service. |

|
Removable Rotating Assembly
Inspection of pump shaft or bearings is easily accomplished without disturbing pump casing or piping by removing rotating assembly. Simply remove four bolts from the back of the pump and the entire assembly slides out. |
|
Dual Protection of Bearings
Atmospheric isolation of seal cavity provides positive protection of bearings. This unique design also provides capabilities for external monitoring. |
