80 Series® pumps are designed for non-stop workloads. The straight-in-suction design of these high-efficiency pumps guarantees quick, positive self-priming and allows them to operate at high suction levels than most other self-priming centrifugal pumps. Liquid enters directly into the impeller eye. A suction check valve presents in-line return flow when the pump is shut off. And, because 80 Series pumps have few moving parts, maintenance is minimal. 80 Series pumps are available with self-lubricated mechanical shaft seals.
