Keep the equipment identification with the document when continuing the conversation with our team.
Check the identification
If you already have a pump, provide the series and code on its nameplate. A photo helps our team identify the equipment.
Consult the series document
Use the manual code as a reference. Dimensions and construction options must be checked for your equipment model and configuration.
Keep the context
For a question, replacement or new selection, share the model and the page you are consulting. Include the fluid and operating conditions you know.
