INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The Series VSX centrifugal pumps are frame-
mounted pumps that feature high efficiency,
rugged construction, compact design, foot-
mounted volute, alignment-friendly coupling, and
unitized seals. These features, along with
the vertically split case make installation,
operation, and service easy to perform.
WARNING: This product can expose you
to chemicals including L ead, which is known to
the S tate of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. For more

PUMP APPLICATION
The standard Series VSX centrifugal pump’s
bronze fitted construction makes it ideal for service
with the following
liquids: hydronic cooling or
heating, boiler feed water, condensate,
pressure boosting, general pumping, unheated
domestic and fresh water, and benign liquids.
For other applications contact your local Bell &
Gossett representative.

Equipment Damage
To prevent premature seal failure or possible
injury, the unitized seals should not be used as an
alternate or substitute for the balanced seals
installed in a high suction pressure rated VSX
pump.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious property damage and/or moderate
personal injury.
