ANSI Water Centrifugal Pump | CN Series
Pump is for water application
- Size 1″ – 10″
- Capacity Q max 400 m³/h
- Design and Manufactured Standard ANSI/ASME B73.1
Vertical sump pump for water and waste water. Pump material is PP.
The type VNP vertical sump pump is specifically designed to water application or wasted water application. Pump Material is PP.
It is a vertical single stage pump with a back pull out design according to ISO 2858, installed wet in the pit. Sealing is by a labyrinth seal or a lip ring seal and the bearings are grease lubricated. The solid content limit value is approximately 20 per cent.
The pump hangs into the liquid, so there is no suction pipe, no foot valve and no priming system.
A solid content limit value of approximately 20 per cent, twice the KCP figure.
Polypropylene wetted parts for water and waste water duty.
The hydraulic end follows ISO 2858 back pull out practice.
No mechanical seal face in contact with the pumped liquid.
Rated for an ambient temperature of -20°C to 60°C.
Wet pit installation for water and waste water collection.
Transfer duty out of a pit where the liquid carries solids.
| Problem | How the VNP Series Answers It |
|---|---|
| The Pump Loses Prime | A wet installed vertical sump pump sits in the liquid, so there is nothing to prime. |
| Solids Damage the Shaft Seal | Sealing is by labyrinth or lip ring, above the liquid, not by a face seal in the pumped medium. |
| A Foot Valve Keeps Fouling | There is no suction line and no foot valve on a wet installed sump pump. |
| The Liquid Attacks Metal Wetted Parts | The pump material is PP. |
| Type | Vertical, single-stage |
|---|---|
| Construction | Back-pull-out design according to ISO 2858 |
| Installation Versions | Wet installation |
| Impeller | Closed |
| Bearing Lubrication | Grease lubrication |
| Ambient Temperature | -20°C to 60°C |
| Operation Temperature | Up to 80°C |
| Solid Content Limit Value | approx. 20 % |
| Sealing | Labyrinth seal or Lip ring seal |
| Materials | PP |
Polypropylene. The stated pump material for the VNP series.
Casings and impellers are machined in house, staged through the parts store and assembled into complete sets. Finished pumps are coupled up on the test bench with the suction and discharge lines connected before they are packed.
Casings and impellers in the specified material.
Machining bays under overhead travelling cranes.
Machined parts and hardware held ready for assembly.
Rotating element, casing, coupling and motor on the baseplate.
The set is run on the test bench before packing.
The options below are the ones listed for this series. Tell us the liquid, the temperature, the duty point and the flange standard on site and we will confirm the build.

Flow, head, liquid, temperature and supply frequency decide the size. Give the normal duty and the maximum duty if they differ.
The wetted material is chosen for the liquid, not for the pump. Check the materials listed above against what you are pumping.
See the installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance notes in the service section before the pump arrives on site.

Pump is for water application

Material: Cast Iron, Carbon Steel, SS304

Horizontal single-stage, back-pull-out, PP / PE / UHMW-PE
The pump column hangs into the pit and the hydraulic end sits below the liquid level. Only the motor and the cover plate stay above.
No. It is installed wet, so the hydraulic end is already flooded.
A solid content limit value of approximately 20 per cent.
PP.
A labyrinth seal or a lip ring seal.
An ambient temperature of -20°C to 60°C and an operation temperature up to 80°C.
A closed impeller.
Send the duty point and the liquid and we will confirm the size, the materials and the delivery.
