General description
VR pumps are vertical multistage centrifugal pumps. Models 3VR, 5VR and 9VR operate with clockwise rotation
when observed from above. These pumps are not self-priming. Pump intake and discharge are located on the same
axis, at the bottom of the pump. A standard mechanical seal in the shaft inlet provides separation of the electric
motor from the pumped product.
Applications
VR centrifugal multi-stage pumps are suitable for a wide range of applications. They can be used for industrial water
distribution systems, irrigation, pressure washing, fire fighting, air conditioning, etc.
Pumped liquids
Pump should be used for clean liquids, compatible with the construction materials of the pump, not containing solid
particles or fibers.
If the pump is used to pump liquids with viscosity or a density higher than water, it is necessary to use a motor with
a proportionally greater power.
Do not attempt to pump volatile, corrosive, or flammable liquids which may damage the pump or
endanger personnel as a result of pump failure.
The pumped liquids must remain within a given temperature range: -4 to + 248 ºF
