The 1.1-inch (2¾ cm.) pipe frame includes four easy lifting handles for simple transportation to, from and around the job site. Other standard features include dual discharge ports for operator convenience, a removable stainless steel wear plate in the volute for maximum operating efficiency, an improved silicon mechanical seal, durable ductile iron impeller, and a re-designed trash cover cleanout with large diameter O-ring for easy field service. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
