Vertical Inline Pump: PACO VL, VLS

Verical Inline Pump

Type VL (Close Coupled)
Type VLS (Split Coupled)

PACO VL, VLS series pumps are part of the SMART family of pump products which are better engineered to increase efficiency and reduce radial loads. SMART pumps are also designed to help reduce operating and maintenance costs.

The VL/VLS Inline pumps have proven to be extremely versatile, often exceeding the requirements for a variety of market applications, such as chilled water, condenser water, and hot water systems.

When floor space is a consideration, you’ll want to go with the VL. Where many other pumps might not fit, the VL’s vertical inline mounting guaran­tees the smallest footprint, literally requiring no floor space.

Grundfos pushes the limits of pump perfor­mance. The VL offers comprehensive sizes and configurations to meet your needs. It has a supe­rior hydraulic and mechanical design, which pro­duces higher efficiency, reduced pump noise, and longer pump life.

The VL can be fitted with a speed-control system, which significantly cuts energy use and provides a pump payback in as little as one to two years.

• Mounts like a valve for quick installation
• No coupling alignment or bearing frame assembly needed
• Equal size suction and discharge pipes – no need for reducers or other fittings
• Easier to maintain and smaller spare parts inventory
• Double volute – extends seal and bearing life, minimizes noise and vibration, & improves operating efficiency
• NSF61/50 Certifications (available upon request)
• Back pull-out design – enables maintenance without disturbing piping
• Multiple material selections allow for customization to meet specific requirements
• Heavy duty cast & machined motor bracket – rigid and reliable mounting surface with easy alignment
• Case wear rings – reduce maintenance costs and maintain high efficiencies
• Francis vane impeller design – increases efficiency and reduces NPSH required
• Trimmed and balanced impellers – customization, reduced noise and vibration, & prolonged seal and bearing life
• Vertical shaft configuration – promotes longer seal and bearing life
• Shaft Sleeves –extend life of shaft and usable life of pump
• Suction Baffle – creates a smooth, quiet pump operation.
