Suction and Discharge connections meet AREVA piping requirements.
Outer Casing is designed for full working pressure and meets all pressure boundary requirements for pump equipment.
Inner Assembly has an internal crossover that reduces hydraulic thrust and increases bearing life.
Standard Cartridge Seal reduces maintenance time and man-rem exposure associated with change out.
Optional Bearing Housing mounted in the motor stand permits the use of standard electric motors without thrust bearings.
Four-piece spacer coupling allows maintenance to bearings and mechanical seal without removal of the electric motor.
