GPI
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GPI from 3G Electric.
What is the flow range of GPI inline turbine totalizers for fuels?
GPI inline turbine totalizers for fuels are available in multiple flow ranges. The SKU 825KT1 model (MPN A1Q9GMA025NA1) covers 0.3 gpm to 3 gpm with a 1-inch NPT connection and an LCD display that totalizes in gallons. The commercial-grade SKU 61CV12 offers a 1-inch FNPT connection, +/-1.5% accuracy, and a 4-20 mA output for remote monitoring or control integration. Selection depends on the expected flow rate, connection type, and whether an analog output is required. Both models use a nylon rotor and are intended for inline measurement of fuel flow.
Which GPI pump models are compatible with the replacement seal kits 133503-1 and 133504-1?
The GPI shaft seal kit with manufacturer part number 133503-1 is compatible with the M-3130 series and the PRO35-115/QM model. The GPI replacement seal kit with manufacturer part number 133504-1 is compatible with the PRO20-115 series and the PRO35-115/QM model. These kits contain the seals and gaskets needed to service the rotating shaft area and maintain pump integrity. When ordering, confirm the pump series and model number against the kit's compatibility list to ensure the correct replacement parts are supplied.
What are the power and flow specifications for GPI electric gear drum pumps?
GPI electric gear drum pumps in the 3G Electric catalog include 12 V DC and 115 V AC models. The 12 V DC model (SKU 907DF4, MPN 142100-04) uses a 2/5 hp motor, delivers 5 gpm, and handles fluids up to 50 SUS maximum viscosity with a polypropylene suction tube. The 115 V AC models include SKU 6XGP4 (MPN PA-120H-2UR) with a 1/4 hp motor, 12 gpm flow, and 10 cps maximum viscosity, and SKU 6XGP5 (MPN PA-200H-2UR) with a 1/4 hp motor, 8 gpm flow, and 450 cps maximum viscosity. Pump bodies are polyethylene on the AC models.
What is included with the GPI rotary-action manual fuel transfer pump?
The GPI rotary-action manual fuel transfer pump (SKU 38H341) is supplied as a pump with hose and nozzle, and includes a bung for secure drum mounting. It delivers a maximum flow rate of 12.8 oz per stroke. The pump body is constructed of aluminum, and the nozzle is a manual aluminum type. Seals are Buna-N, and the suction tube is plastic. This configuration is intended for manual dispensing from drums where electrical power is not available or not desired. The included hose and nozzle allow direct connection to the drum and dispensing point.
Can GPI turbine totalizers output a signal for remote monitoring?
Yes, the GPI commercial-grade inline turbine totalizer (SKU 61CV12) provides a 4-20 mA output, which can be used to transmit flow rate or totalized volume to remote monitoring or control equipment. It also has a digital display for local reading. The SKU 825KT1 model includes an LCD display that totalizes in gallons but does not list an analog output in its specifications. When selecting a totalizer for integration with a PLC, SCADA, or data logger, verify the output type and signal range required by the receiving system.
What fluids can GPI gear drum pumps handle?
GPI gear drum pumps are designed for transferring low- to medium-viscosity fluids from drums or containers. The 12 V DC model (SKU 907DF4) handles fluids up to 50 SUS maximum viscosity. The 115 V AC models cover up to 10 cps (SKU 6XGP4) and up to 450 cps (SKU 6XGP5). Typical fluids include oils, coolants, and chemicals, as well as fuels and DEF in compatible pump configurations. Suction tube and pump body materials vary by model, with polypropylene and polyethylene options available. Always confirm chemical compatibility between the fluid and the wetted materials before use.
