Berkeley S39540 Ac Straight Pump 2.5 Hp 3 Phase

Product Description

The BERKELEY S39540 is a three-phase AC straight centrifugal pump rated at 2-1/2 horsepower and designed for demanding commercial and industrial water transfer applications. It operates on 208 to 230/460 volts at 60 Hz and delivers up to 92 GPM at 20 feet of head, with a maximum head pressure of 142 psi. The cast iron housing provides durability in harsh environments, while the brass impeller resists corrosion in clean and mildly aggressive water service. A TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) motor protects internal windings from moisture and debris. This pump is installed by licensed plumbing and mechanical contractors in commercial, agricultural, and light industrial systems.

The S39540 is suited for high-volume water transfer, irrigation, pressure boosting, and circulating systems where three-phase power is available. The 2-inch FPT inlet and 1-1/2-inch FPT outlet allow direct threaded pipe connection in standard commercial piping configurations. It handles fluid temperatures up to 225 degrees F, making it appropriate for hot water service and certain process applications. Its straight-pump design simplifies inline installation and reduces footprint in mechanical rooms and pump stations.

Compatibility

Designed for use in three-phase commercial, agricultural, and industrial pumping systems requiring a 2-1/2 HP straight centrifugal pump with a 2-inch inlet and 1-1/2-inch FPT outlet configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumbing or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC requirements. De-energize and lock out all power sources before servicing or making electrical connections. Verify that supply voltage and phase configuration match the motor nameplate before startup. Ensure proper pipe support is in place to avoid stress on the pump housing connections.
