I-3S PUMP
3-Inch Self-Priming Pump for Wastewater and Solids Handling
The I-3S is built for demanding solids-handling applications where above-grade installation, reliable self-priming, and accessible maintenance are important.
Because it is self-priming, the pump can be installed above the liquid being pumped, helping provide cleaner access for inspection and service.
I-3S Pump Summary
The I-3S uses a multi-vane, semi-open impeller designed for solids-handling applications.
Pump-out vanes on the impeller shroud help reduce foreign-material buildup behind the impeller and reduce pressure on the seal and bearings.
The I-3S also features a four-point external shimless adjustment at the back cover for setting impeller-to-wear-plate clearance.
I-3S: Designed for Easier Maintenance
The I-3S is designed to make routine service more accessible with clean-out-cover access, a removable rotating assembly, bearing protection, and four-point external shimless impeller-clearance adjustment.
