Gorman-Rupp Pumps Diaphragm Priming System

Gorman-Rupp Offers New Diaphragm Priming System

Gorman-Rupp is pleased to offer an integrally-mounted diaphragm priming assembly as an option on select 4” (100 mm), 6” (150 mm), and 8” (200 mm) Prime Aire pump models. An alternative to the venturi/compressor priming system on Gorman-Rupp’s priming-assisted pump models, the diaphragm primer delivers up to 60 CFM (1700 LPM), a vacuum to 30’ (9.1 m) and is rated for temperatures as low as 15° F (-9.4° C). With fewer components, the new primer offers reliability and increased efficiency, as well as higher lifts.
