AMT 3201-96 General Purpose Laundry Tray Pump – 1/4 HP, 115V Centrifugal Pump
The AMT 3201-96 is a compact, continuous-duty centrifugal pump built for laundry trays and other gravity-fed general service pumping needs. Its cast aluminum body and self-cleaning, semi-open impeller are designed to move both clean and dirty water without clogging, even when small debris up to 1/8" in diameter is present. A Buna-N mechanical shaft seal and O-ring casing seal keep the unit protected from leaks, while the 1-1/4" NPT female suction and discharge ports make it easy to connect into an existing drain or transfer line.
Inside, a 1/4 HP, 115V single-phase motor spins at 1725 RPM to deliver up to 24 gallons per minute with a maximum head of 11 feet, giving it enough capacity for everyday household and light commercial pumping tasks. Because this is not a self-priming pump, it needs a flooded suction line to operate properly, which is typical for this style of gravity-fed unit and simple to set up in most laundry room or utility sink installations.
Homeowners and facility maintenance teams choose the 3201-96 because it's a reliable, off-the-shelf workhorse rather than a specialty item. It handles basement utility sinks, wet bar drains, and other everyday gravity-fed transfer jobs, and its rugged aluminum construction is built to hold up under regular use without demanding constant upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the AMT 3201-96 handle both clean and dirty water?
A: Yes. Its self-cleaning, semi-open impeller design is built to move both clean liquids and dirty water containing small solids up to 1/8" in diameter without clogging.
Q: Does this pump need to be primed before it starts working?
A: No priming step is needed in the traditional sense, but the pump does require a flooded suction line to run correctly, since it is not a self-priming model.
Q: What kind of liquids is this pump safe to use with?
A: The 3201-96 is intended for nonflammable liquids that are compatible with its aluminum, Buna-N, and stainless steel components, such as laundry water and general utility drainage.
Q: How much pressure and flow can I expect from this pump?
A: At full output, the pump can deliver up to 24 gallons per minute and generate a maximum head of 11 feet, which translates to roughly 5.2 PSI of discharge pressure.
Q: Is this pump suitable for continuous, everyday use?
A: Yes. It is rated for continuous duty, making it a good fit for regular household laundry room use as well as light commercial applications where the pump runs frequently.
