Gorman-Rupp 14520-050 Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Pump with Ryton Impeller
The Gorman-Rupp 14520-050 is a high-performance magnetic drive centrifugal pump engineered for reliable industrial fluid handling where leak prevention and chemical resistance are essential. Built with a durable Ryton housing and impeller, this pump uses a seal-less magnetic coupling system that eliminates traditional shaft seals and significantly reduces maintenance requirements while improving operational safety.
Designed for OEM and industrial applications, this 115V pump delivers consistent performance up to approximately 26 GPM with a maximum head of 35 feet. Its magnetic drive design isolates the motor from the pumped fluid, making it ideal for corrosive and non-corrosive liquids where contamination or leakage must be avoided.
Commonly used in cooling systems, laboratory equipment, hydronic loops, and chemical transfer applications, the 14520-050 is valued for its compact footprint, energy efficiency, and long operational life under continuous-duty conditions.

FAQ
Q1: What makes the Gorman-Rupp 14520-050 different from standard centrifugal pumps?
It uses a magnetic drive system instead of a mechanical shaft seal, eliminating leak points and reducing maintenance needs.
Q2: Can the pump run dry?
No. This pump requires flooded suction and should never be run dry to avoid damage.
Q3: What fluids can it handle?
It can transfer both corrosive and non-corrosive fluids, depending on chemical compatibility with Ryton and internal wetted materials.
Q4: Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?
Yes, it is designed for continuous-duty service in industrial environments.
Q5: What are common installation environments?
It is typically installed in OEM equipment, chillers, lab systems, and closed-loop circulation systems.
