AMT 282D-95 Cast Iron Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump
The AMT 282D-95 is a rugged, self-priming centrifugal pump built for jobs that demand dependable, high-volume liquid movement day after day. Its cast iron body and Buna-N mechanical seal are designed to stand up to tough industrial and commercial environments, while the self-cleaning, clog-resistant impeller lets it pass 3/8-inch semi-solids without bogging down. Whether it's moving process water, draining a flooded area, or handling waste water in a commercial setting, this pump is set up to keep working when lesser pumps would clog or stall.
What sets this unit apart is how little babysitting it needs. A built-in flapper check valve keeps the pump primed and ready, so it can re-establish suction quickly even after sitting idle, drawing liquid from up to 20 feet away. The dual volute design takes pressure off the motor by balancing radial load, which translates into smoother running and a longer service life for the 3/4 HP single-phase motor driving it. A steel base and integrated handle make it easy to position, secure, and move between job sites.
For facility managers, contractors, and equipment operators who need a pump that just works, the 282D-95 offers a straightforward, no-nonsense solution. It's sized right for medium-duty transfer tasks, easy to plumb thanks to its 1.5-inch FNPT connections, and backed by a construction quality that holds up to continuous operation in demanding conditions.
