CAUTION: Never start or operate with a closed suction valve.
WARNING: Operation without priming or against a closed discharge valve can result in high temperatures that can result in
injury or damage to pump components.
CAUTION: Always provide adequate NPSHa (net positive suction head available). It is recommended to provide at least 2 feet
(61 cm) above the NPSHr (net positive suction head required).
CAUTION: If pump is used on variable speed drive, do not exceed the frequency for which the pump was designed (for example,
if the pump is a 50 Hz model, do not exceed 50 Hz).
SP22 Capabilities
• Maximum Working Pressure: 90 psi (6.2 bar)
• Maximum Temperature: Polypropylene -180º F (82º C); PVDF – 220º F (104º C)
NOTE: Maximum temperature is application dependent. Consult a chemical resistance guide or the chemical manufacturer for
chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
• Maximum Lift: 25 feet (7.6 meters)
NOTE: Lift determined on fresh, cold water with 3” Schedule 40 pipe. Specific gravity affects lift capability. Divide 25 feet (7.6
meters) by the specific gravity to determine equivalent maximum lift.
• Solids: Maximum particle size is 100 microns for slurries and 1/64” (.4 mm) for occasional solids. Maximum hardness is 80 HS.
Maximum concentration is 10% by weight. If solids are being pumped, it is recommended that the pump have silicon
carbide components for best results. Pumping solids may lead to increased wear.
NOTE: While the pump is capable of being used in sump applications, it is NOT a trash pump. Care must be taken to ensure that
debris and foreign objects do not enter the pump or damage may result. FTI recommends using a 2” (50.8 mm) or 3” (76.2 mm)
strainer basket with 1/8” (3.2 mm) perforations. Regular strainer basket maintenance is required to prevent plugging and a
decrease in NPSHa so not to starve and damage the pump.
• Minimum Allowable Flow Rate
Do not allow the flow rate to drop below the minimum flow rate in the chart below:
• Maximum Allowable Motor Power
Do not exceed 7.5 kW (10 horsepower) for 50 Hz, 2900 rpm applications. For 60 Hz, 3450 rpm applications, the pump is capable
of starting a 15 horsepower motor but is limited to a maximum of 13 horsepower (9.7 kW) while running. Use the information in
the chart below to determine the maximum specific gravity capabilities by impeller trim for non-overloading applications. The
use of a power monitor is strongly recommended for 60 Hz applications above 10 horsepower (7.5 kW).
• Maximum Noise Level: 80 dBA (pump only)
• Maximum Specific Gravity for Non-Overloading Applications
