Key Features of HCP Model F-05U
Vortex Impeller
The U-type impeller creates a vortex effect to pass fibrous materials and long solids without contact. This functionality helps reduce the risk of clogging in wastewater applications.
Double Mechanical Seals
A dual seal system protects the motor. It uses carbon/ceramic on the upper side and silicon carbide on the lower side to isolate electrical components from the fluid.
Epoxy Cable Base
An epoxy resin seal at the cable entry prevents moisture from wicking into the motor through the core wires, preventing short circuits.
Auto-Cut Protector
The HCP F-05U submersible pump 120V automatically shuts down if the motor temperature rises too high or experiences excess amperage, preventing burnout.
Stainless Steel Motor Frame
The 304 stainless steel frame resists corrosion and physical damage, making it a cast iron effluent pump with thermal protection suitable for harsh environments.
Performance Overview
This 70 GPM effluent pump delivers consistent flow up to a maximum head of 31 feet in septic and light commercial wastewater systems. It is rated for continuous duty when fully submerged and operated within its performance curve. The pump functions optimally in liquid temperatures between 0–40°C (32–104°F) and maintains efficiency even when handling fluids with moderate solid content.
Applications
- Effluent pumping
- Low-pressure sewer systems
- Effluent transfer applications
- Basement sump pits
