17. MK2R PUMP VERSION

The following information is helpful in deciding how to use 

the MK2R  and MK2SR pumps

Unless specified, use the above instructions for the 

standard MK pump.

17.1 MK2R - MK2SR Pump

17.1.1 Operating Instructions

  The MK2R/MK2SR series pumps have been      

  designed to operate in environments that are not  

  potentially explosive and use water that contains 

  particulates, they are ideal for systems with fluid  

 recirculation.

17.1.2 Max Pressure and Flow Rate

The specifications stated in our catalog are the maximum 

performance of the pump. Regardless of the power used, 

pressure, and maximum RPM values indicated on the 

label plate may not be exceeded unless authorized by the

Customer Service Department.

 The durability of the plunger seals are directly    

 related to the amount of solids in the fluid as 

 regards to size and density.

 For a long seal life it is recommended that 

 

particulates size no larger than 200 micron and   

 

20% max. in volume.

 

For more information and a general system 

 

layout, see par. 17.2.6.
