The AMT stainless steel submersible pump has a 115 VAC electric motor, is constructed with a 304 stainless steel casing, motor housing, shaft, and hardware for resistance to corrosion, and is suitable for general dewatering and drainage applications. It has a cast iron impeller, and silicon-carbide, carbon ceramic, and Viton (FKM, fluoroelastomer) seals for resistance to corrosion and chemicals. It is equipped with a thermal breaker switch to prevent overheating, and conveys material to a maximum temperature of 104 degrees F. It ships fully assembled and features a male National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) discharge port for compatibility with most discharge hose assemblies. This pump is suitable for liquid drainage applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings such as basements, boats, tanks, and others.Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.American Machine and Tool (AMT) manufactures centrifugal and diaphragm pumps. The company is headquartered in Royersford, PA.
