Gorman-Rupp 11908-009 Centrifugal Pump – 1/3 HP Single Phase Power
This Gorman-Rupp 11908-009 centrifugal pump is a reliable, high-efficiency solution engineered for demanding fluid transfer applications. Built with a corrosion-resistant phenolic plastic housing and impeller, this pump is designed to handle both corrosive and non-corrosive liquids with consistent performance and durability. Its 1/3 horsepower motor supports multiple voltage configurations (115/208/230V), making it adaptable across a wide range of industrial and commercial systems.
Designed for continuous duty operation, this pump delivers flow rates up to 60 GPM with a maximum head of approximately 34 feet, ensuring efficient liquid movement in systems that require steady, reliable throughput. It operates quietly with low heat rise and features thermal protection for long service life. Note that this is a non-self-priming pump and must be installed in flooded suction applications for optimal performance.
