INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

This Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
manual is designed to help you achieve the best
performance and longest life from your Gorman-
Rupp pump.
This pump is a T Series, semi-open impeller, self-

priming centrifugal model with a suction check
valve. The pump is designed for handling mild in-
dustrial corrosives, residues and slurries contain-
ing large entrained solids. The basic material of
construction for wetted parts is gray iron.

If there are any questions regarding the pump or its application which are not covered in this manual or in
other literature accompanying this unit, please contact your Gorman-Rupp distributor, or write:
