Oberdorfer 101M-F13 Bronze Centrifugal Pump 1/3HP 115V
Oberdorfer 101M-F13 is engineered as a compact, close-coupled centrifugal pump designed for dependable fluid movement in continuous-duty applications. Built with a bronze pump housing and stainless steel shaft, it delivers consistent performance for water circulation, cooling systems, and light industrial transfer tasks where reliability and quiet operation matter.
This pump is widely selected for HVAC systems, marine cooling loops, and general-purpose fluid handling due to its mechanical seal design and stable 3450 RPM operation. While not self-priming, it performs efficiently in flooded suction setups or systems equipped with proper priming assistance.
