The “VS” version of Gorman-Rupp UltraMate Self-Priming pumps can be used when system requirements exceed the Ultra V Series exceptional performance range. By mounting our UltraMate unit directly to the Ultra V through an innovative transition chamber, maximum pressure is increased up to 300% over traditional solids-handling self-priming single stage pumps. Losses associated with conventional series connected pumps are also reduced, resulting in increased efficiencies. The UltraMate unit allows for a variety of discharge positions. This “smart scroll” feature offers installation flexibility. This vertically staged assembly also reduces the footprint required with conventional staging configurations.
The rotating assembly and the back cover plate are interchangeable between the Ultra V and the UltraMate, reducing spare parts inventory.
