Specifically designed to offer maximum versatility for handling a wide variety of clean, non-corrosive liquids, the NP and NPH Series Sliding Vane Pumps (Iron Line) are general purpose positive displacement pumps ideal for applications where high temperature, high pressure, high viscosity, and/or shaft sealing requirements dictate a sleeve bearing pump. The Blackmer® unique sliding vane rotor design provides sustained, high level performance over a wide viscosity range, and slow operating speeds with non-pulsating flow minimize shear and agitation of the fluid. The unique head and bearing design is conducive to long bearing life: a small, continuous flow of fluid from the discharge side to the bearings creates a hydrodynamic film that minimizes temperature rise. These pumps are self-priming and dry-run capable due to self-adjusting vanes, making them ideal for priming and line stripping. High volumetric efficiency and symmetrical bearing support mean the NP/NPH Series pumps require less horsepower than other PD pumps, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs. NP vs. NPH — which one do I need? Both series share the same internals, performance envelope, and options structure. The difference is the port layout: NP models (NP1.5B, NP2F, NP2.5F, NP3F, NP4F) have a side inlet with a top outlet offset 90° from the inlet, and are cast iron construction. NPH models (NPH2F, NPH2.5F, NPH3F, NPH4F) have a side inlet with a side outlet offset 180° from the inlet, and are ductile iron construction. Pick the model that matches the piping layout on your installation. Ductile-iron/cast-iron construction with metallized carbon sleeve bearings and non-metallic vanes for longer life Optional commercial mechanical seal with stainless steel, carbon, and PTFE construction Shaft stuffing box accommodates most standard aftermarket mechanical seal configurations Jacketed pump head option available for high temperature operation (call to order, see Configuration Options below) Pump design and operation minimizes shear and agitation Adjustable relief valve protects the pump against excessive pressures Common applications: refined fuels, greases, solvents, chocolate, syrups, molasses, edible oils, black liquor, sodium silicate, tallow, wax, glues, adhesives, creosote, asphalt, and Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF).

Shipping Weight is the price sheet's shipping weight and is what freight/checkout uses for this listing; the two differ on several models, which is normal for this series. Configuration Options (call to order) The options below are available on every NP/NPH model but are not sold online due to Shopify's 3-option limit.
