Product Overview

Product Description

FY Series API VS4 Vertical Sump Pump – Submerged Design, Zero Leakage

Submerged impeller eliminates need for shaft seal – no leakage, no seal maintenance. Long shaft spans allow installation in deep tanks up to several meters. Fluoroplastic lining option provides exceptional resistance to strong acids (HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃) and alkalis. Heavy-duty bearings support extended cantilever design. API VS4 compliant.

KEY FEATURES

  • Seal-less Design: Submerged impeller eliminates shaft seals, providing zero leakage and eliminating seal maintenance costs.
  • API VS4 Compliant: Designed to meet API 610 VS4 standards for vertical sump pumps in petrochemical service.
  • Wide Material Selection: Available in carbon steel, 304, 316L, and fluoroplastic for compatibility with pH 2–12 corrosive media.
  • Deep Tank Capability: Long shaft design allows installation in deep tanks, reaction vessels, and underground sumps.
  • Broad Temperature Range: Operates with liquids from -20°C to +105°C, covering most chemical process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does API VS4 mean, and why is it important?
API VS4 is a vertical sump pump standard defined by API 610 for petrochemical and refinery services. The FY series complies with this standard, ensuring robust construction, long shaft cantilever design, and reliable operation in demanding hazardous liquid applications.
How does the seal-less design work?
The FY pump has no mechanical seal or packing. The impeller is submerged directly in the pumped liquid, and the motor is mounted above the tank. Liquid is prevented from reaching the bearing housing by a dynamic seal or throttle bushing. This eliminates leakage risks entirely.
What materials are best for handling strong acids like sulfuric or hydrochloric acid?
For strong acids, we recommend fluoroplastic (e.g., PVDF, PTFE) lining or solid fluoroplastic construction. This material offers exceptional resistance to almost all acids, alkalis, and solvents at temperatures up to 105°C. For less aggressive chemicals, 316L stainless steel is a cost-effective option.
Can this pump handle liquids with small solid particles?
What is the maximum sump depth this pump can be installed in?
The maximum installation depth depends on the specific model and shaft length. Generally, our FY pumps can accommodate sump depths from 1 to 4 meters. Custom longer shafts are available upon request. Please specify your tank depth when ordering.
