AMT Pump 282L-95 – Cast Iron Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump
The AMT 282L-95 is a rugged cast iron centrifugal pump built to move a lot of liquid without a lot of fuss. Paired with a 2 HP, 3-phase, 230/460V ODP motor on a 56J frame, this pump is engineered for facilities that need dependable, high-volume transfer day after day. Its self-priming design pulls liquid up to 20 feet, so operators don't have to babysit the line before every run, and the self-cleaning, clog-resistant impeller keeps things moving even when the liquid isn't perfectly clean.
What sets this pump apart is how well it handles less-than-ideal conditions. It can pass semi-solids up to 3/8 inch in diameter, tolerate sediment-laden liquids, and keep working even with entrained air or gases in the flow. That makes it a practical choice for dewatering job sites, transferring irrigation water, managing wastewater, or supporting general industrial and agricultural liquid-handling tasks where a standard pump would struggle or clog.
Built from cast iron with Buna-N elastomers, the 282L-95 is made to hold up under repeated use in demanding environments. A built-in flapper/check valve helps it re-prime quickly after the casing has been filled, and the dual volute design reduces radial load on the motor, which translates into smoother operation and less wear over time. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense pump for anyone who needs reliable performance without unnecessary complexity.

FAQ
Q: Can the AMT 282L-95 run continuously in an outdoor or exposed installation?
A: The ODP (Open Drip Proof) motor is designed for use in clean, dry, indoor or sheltered environments. For outdoor or exposed installations, a TEFC-enclosed version is recommended instead.
Q: Does this pump require a separate motor starter or control panel?
A: Yes. The 282L-95 ships with the pump and motor only; motor controls and field wiring are not included and must be supplied separately based on your electrical setup.
Q: What happens if the pump loses its prime during operation?
A: The built-in flapper/check valve is designed to retain liquid in the casing after shutdown, allowing the pump to re-prime quickly the next time it starts rather than requiring a full manual refill.
Q: Is this pump suitable for pumping liquids with debris or sediment?
A: Yes. The self-cleaning, clog-resistant impeller is specifically designed to pass semi-solids up to 3/8 inch as well as sediment-laden liquids without frequent clogging.
Q: Can this pump handle hot liquids?
A: The 282L-95 is rated for liquid temperatures up to 180°F (82°C). Liquids hotter than this can damage the seals and pump components and should be avoided.
