SPECIFICATIONS–SECTION A
MODEL CODE EXPLANATION
The pump model is shown on the pump
nameplate. The pump models are coded based
on the number of pump stages. Standard
stages consist of both diffusers and impellers.
The number of stages/impellers is followed by a
zero in the model code. This zero is not part of
the stage count number.
On some models, the model code may be
followed by a
/1
or
/2
, this indicates the number
of smaller impellers in that model to achieve the
desired operating specs. These smaller
impellers are included in the total stage/impeller
count.
