GOULDS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GOULDS from 3G Electric.
What is the flow rate of the Goulds WS-D3 sewage ejector pump?
The Goulds WS-D3 series sewage ejector pump, such as SKU 5NXV5, delivers a flow rate of 650 gpm at 10 feet of head. It is a single-phase, 5 hp pump rated for 230V AC operation. The pump features a cast iron impeller and vertical discharge orientation, designed for non-clog handling of effluent and solids. This model does not include a switch. It is suitable for sewage ejection applications where high flow at low head is required.
What are the power requirements for Goulds under-sink recirculating pumps?
Goulds under-sink recirculating pumps are available with different power requirements. Models like the E1-BCAFNRTW-01 operate on 115V AC, while others such as the E1-BCUFNRNW-01 and E1-BCUVNNNW-01 operate on 100/240V AC. These pumps typically have a 1/150 hp motor. They are designed for potable water systems and feature brass construction. The voltage and phase must match the available power supply. Always verify the nameplate voltage before installation.
What connection types are available for Goulds recirculating pumps?
Goulds recirculating pumps come with various connection types to suit different plumbing configurations. Available options include FNPT (female national pipe thread), sweat, and union connections. For example, the E1-BCAFNRTW-01 has 1 in FNPT connections, the E3-BCSVNNNW-01 has 2 1/2 in sweat connections, and the E1-BCUFNRNW-01 has union connections. The face-to-face dimensions also vary, such as 4 13/32 in, 2 1/2 in, or 5 1/2 in. Select the connection type that matches your piping.
What is the maximum head for Goulds under-sink recirculating pumps?
The maximum head for Goulds under-sink recirculating pumps depends on the model. For instance, the E1-BCAFNRTW-01 has a maximum head of 5 ft, while the E3-BCSVNNNW-01 has a maximum head of 11 ft. Other models like the E1-BCUFNRNW-01 and E1-BCUVNNNW-01 have a maximum head of 6 ft. These pumps are designed for low-head applications typical of under-sink recirculation. Ensure the pump's maximum head meets the system requirements to achieve desired flow.
Are replacement impellers available for Goulds GT15 and GT153 pumps?
Yes, replacement impellers are available for Goulds GT15 and GT153 pump models. The impeller with manufacturer part number 2K714 is compatible with these models. It is used to move water or other fluids in industrial, commercial, or agricultural pumping applications. When replacing an impeller, verify the model number and part number to ensure compatibility. Proper installation is essential for pump performance and longevity.
What materials are used in Goulds recirculating pumps?
Goulds recirculating pumps for potable water systems typically feature brass construction. This material is chosen for its corrosion resistance and suitability for drinking water applications. The brass body houses the pump mechanism and provides connection points. For example, models like the E1-BCAFNRTW-01 and E3-BCSVNNNW-01 have brass construction. The impeller and other internal components may vary by model. Always refer to the specific product specifications for material details.
