Submersible Dry Pit

Standard (8VLDP) and Explosion-Proof (8VLXDP)

The 8VLDP and 8VLXDP (Explosion-proof) Submersible Dry Pit Wastewater Pumps are designed especially for high flow applications such as: Large Municipal Stations, Treatment Plants, Transfer Stations and Dewatering. The pump handles solids up to 4 inches in diameter with 3 available motor speeds make it ideal for most high flow wastewater applications.

Advantages By Design
High efficiency hydraulic design cuts pumping costs and extends life of fluid end components.

  • Two-vane, rounded port impeller handles 4" solids with ease at high operating efficiencies.
  • High efficiency volute offers quiet operation, low radial loads over extended portion of performance curve.

Durable motor will deliver many years of reliable service

  • Class H Insulation.
  • Continuous duty/VFD magnet wire.
  • Oil-filled motor and seal cavity for maximum heat dissipation and continuous lubrication.
  • Heat sensor thermostats imbedded in windings protect motor from over heat conditions.
  • Seal leak probes warn of moisture entry; helps prevent costly motor burn-out.
