A Stainless Steel pump housing is food-grade and nearly indestructible. Same internal pump as the March 815-PL-C, but with a stainless steel housing. Stainless steel is the material of choice for professional breweries because it is a durable, food-grade metal that can withstand caustic chemicals and can also be effectively sanitized. 3/4" mpt on center inlet. 1/2" mpt outlet.
The magnetic drive acts as a clutch allowing the user to put back-pressure on the pump to slow down flow. With a ball valve on the outflow, you can slow flow all the way to nothing. Since it is a magnetic drive, it is not self priming, you must put the pump under the level of the liquid source. To make it brewer friendly, it comes with a mounting bracket and a 6' power cord with plug. This is a tough little pump with a 1/25 hp, continuous-duty 1.4 Amp motor which can be run non-stop for extended periods. This pump has a maximum flow of 7.2 GPM with a maximum head of 12 feet. For an example of typical usage: with a head of 6' it will pump 3.25 GPM and with an 8' head it will pump 2.5 GPM.
The motor requires 115V, 50/60Hz power.

Installation notes
- The pump is not self-priming. Mount it below the liquid source so it has a flooded suction.
- Never run it dry. The liquid lubricates the internal parts.
- To reduce flow, put a valve on the outlet side, not the inlet.
- You can take the motor off the wet end without draining the system. Replace the O-ring whenever you remove the rear housing.
Warranty
March warrants its pumps against defects in workmanship and materials for 13 months from the date of sale.
