Gorman-Rupp manufactures a full line of self-priming
centrifugal pumps especially designed for pumping clean,
non-abrasive petroleum products.
Gorman-Rupp O Series and 80 Series self-priming
centrifugal pumps have a straight-in suction design, which
minimizes entrance restrictions and provides better suction
performance. On the other hand, choose the Gorman-Rupp exclusive
Roto-Prime design. These pumps incorporate a variable capacity
vane pump, which automatically evacuates air and vapor.
Gorman-Rupp Shield-A-Spark pumps are engine-driven
pumps specifically designed for safely handling flammable

Roto-Prime Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump
Roto-Prime self-priming centrifugal pumps
are specifically designed for pumping petroleum products,
petrochemicals and solvents. They are available as straight
centrifugals or with the exclusive Roto-prime design. The
Roto-Prime design incorporates a variable capacity vane
pump which quickly and automatically evacuates air and vapor,
making them ideal for off loading transports and stripping
hoses.

Pumps have rugged ductile iron or cast steel
housings, heavy-duty 1045 steel or 416 stainless steel shafts,
Viton/Fluoroelastomer-fitted or Type 9 Teflon-fitted mechanical
shaft seals and balanced aluminum impellers. Bronze impeller
optional.

Gorman-Rupp O Series Self-Priming Centrifugal
Pumps have a straight-in suction design which eliminates
entrance restrictions and provides better performance when
handling petroleum products, solvents and similar liquids.
A high efficiency, balances, enclosed multi-vane
impeller provides peak performance to handle a wide range
of petroleum products. Because these pumps have few moving
parts, maintenance and service requirements are minimal.

Heavy-Duty Self-Priming 80 Series Pumps
Gorman-Rupp 80 Series pumps are designed
for non-stop workloads. The straight-in suction design of
these high-efficiency pumps guarantees quick, positive self-priming
and allows them to operate at higher suction levels than
most other self-priming centrifugal pumps.
Liquid enters directly into the eye of
the impeller. A suction check valves prevents in-line return
flow when the pump is shut off.
