About STA-RITE

STA-RITE is a pump brand with a long history in water systems, originally founded in the early 20th century and now part of Pentair. The brand is known for its lines of jet pumps, centrifugal pumps, and related water-handling equipment. STA-RITE products are used in residential, agricultural, and light industrial applications where reliable water movement is required. 3G Electric supplies STA-RITE pumps and components to technical buyers worldwide, including plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who need specific models for water supply, transfer, and circulation tasks.

The STA-RITE product range includes shallow-well jet pumps, convertible jet pumps, straight centrifugal pumps, and submersible pumps. These pumps are typically constructed with cast iron or thermoplastic bodies, and many models feature TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) motors for protection against dust and moisture. Voltage options commonly include 115V, 230V, and dual-voltage configurations. Inlet and discharge connections are often threaded, with sizes such as 1-1/4 inch FNPT for suction and 1 inch for discharge. Performance characteristics vary by model: shallow-well jet pumps may deliver around 6.4 gpm at 10 ft head, while straight centrifugal pumps can achieve maximum heads up to 140 ft. Power ratings span from 1/4 hp to 1-1/2 hp or higher, depending on the series.

Application categories for STA-RITE pumps include water supply from shallow wells, pressure boosting, irrigation, water transfer, and circulation in HVAC systems. The pumps are selected based on factors such as total dynamic head, flow rate, suction lift, and electrical supply. STA-RITE also offers accessories like ejectors, pressure switches, and tanks, though 3G Electric's current inventory focuses on the pump units themselves. For technical buyers, key specifications to verify include motor horsepower, voltage, phase, motor enclosure type, inlet and outlet sizes, and maximum head. Many STA-RITE pumps are designed for continuous duty and feature thermal overload protection, though this should be confirmed per model.

3G Electric supports the STA-RITE line by stocking a range of models and providing logistics coordination for global delivery. The company can source specific part numbers and provide documentation such as spec sheets and manuals when available. For procurement, 3G Electric offers quotation services and can assist with identifying replacement pumps based on existing installation requirements. The focus is on supplying the correct pump for the application, with attention to voltage compatibility, connection sizes, and performance curves. Technical support is available to help interpret model numbers and cross-reference legacy STA-RITE products. 3G Electric does not manufacture STA-RITE pumps but distributes them as part of its industrial equipment portfolio.

Common Applications

  • Residential water supply — STA-RITE shallow-well jet pump (e.g., PNC-10) for drawing water from wells up to 25 ft deep.
  • Agricultural irrigation — STA-RITE straight centrifugal pump (e.g., JHF51HL) for moving water from a reservoir to drip lines.
  • HVAC circulation — STA-RITE straight centrifugal pump (e.g., JHD-62HL) for circulating chilled or hot water in closed-loop systems.
  • Pressure boosting — STA-RITE centrifugal pump to increase water pressure from a municipal main or storage tank.
  • Water transfer — STA-RITE centrifugal pump for transferring water between tanks or to remote locations.
  • Light industrial processes — STA-RITE jet pump for supplying water to equipment requiring consistent flow and pressure.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about STA-RITE from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between a STA-RITE shallow-well jet pump and a straight centrifugal pump?

STA-RITE shallow-well jet pumps use an ejector to create suction and are designed for wells with water levels up to about 25 feet deep. They are typically self-priming and can handle some air in the suction line. Straight centrifugal pumps, such as the JHF or JHD series, do not use an ejector and are not self-priming; they require a flooded suction or priming before operation. Centrifugal pumps generally provide higher flow rates at lower heads and are used for water transfer, circulation, and boosting where the water source is above the pump or already pressurized.

What does TEFC mean on a STA-RITE pump motor?

TEFC stands for Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled. This motor enclosure prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the motor housing. A fan attached to the motor shaft circulates air over the exterior fins for cooling, but the internal components are sealed from the environment. STA-RITE pumps with TEFC motors, such as the JHF51HL and JHD-62HL, are suitable for outdoor or damp locations where open motors would be at risk. TEFC motors are not submersible; they are protected against splashing water but should not be submerged.

Can a STA-RITE straight centrifugal pump be used for pressure boosting?

Yes, STA-RITE straight centrifugal pumps are commonly used for pressure boosting in water systems. They can increase water pressure from a municipal supply or a storage tank. When selecting a pump for boosting, consider the required flow rate, the desired pressure increase, and the pump's maximum head rating. For example, the JHF51HL delivers up to 140 ft of head, which equates to approximately 60 psi. Ensure the pump's intake is supplied with adequate pressure to avoid cavitation. A pressure tank and switch may be needed to maintain consistent system pressure.

What voltage options are available for STA-RITE shallow-well jet pumps?

STA-RITE shallow-well jet pumps are available in several voltage configurations. The PNC-10 model, for instance, operates on 115/230V AC single-phase power. This dual-voltage design allows the pump to be wired for either 115V or 230V, depending on the available electrical supply. When ordering, confirm the voltage requirement of your site. Some models may be factory-set for one voltage and can be reconnected in the field by following the wiring diagram. Always verify the motor nameplate and consult a qualified electrician for installation.

How do I select a replacement for an existing STA-RITE pump?

To select a replacement STA-RITE pump, gather the model number and specifications from the existing pump's nameplate. Key details include horsepower, voltage, phase, inlet and discharge sizes, and maximum head. If the exact model is discontinued, identify a current model with matching or superior performance. Consider the application: well depth, required flow rate, and pressure needs. 3G Electric can assist with cross-referencing part numbers and suggesting alternatives based on the original specifications. Provide as much information as possible, including photos of the nameplate and installation if available.

Does 3G Electric supply STA-RITE products?
