The Speroni KF(M) pumps are non-self-priming, peripheral centrifugal pumps that have frontal and radial suction ports with cast iron pump bodies. They have brass impellers and 304 stainless steel shafts, which are fitted with carbon-ceramic-NBR mechanical seals. All motors have IP44 protection. Single phase motors incorporate an overload protection device. They are able to develop high heads in domestic and industrial applications such as sprinkling, circulation, feeding pressurized boilers etc. They are designed for pumping clean water only, at liquid temperatures up to 60ºC. These pumps should not be allowed to run dry, but by fitting an optional pressure controller, they can be protected from this and also start and stop them automatically.  With the addition of a foot-valve, they are capable of a suction lift of 8 metres.
