Summit Pump 2196 STO 1x1.5-6 with 5.125" Impeller 316SS

The Summit Pump 2196 STO is a robust ANSI centrifugal process pump designed for reliable performance in chemical processing, petrochemical, and general industrial applications. This model features a 1" discharge, 1.5" suction, and a 6" maximum impeller diameter, with the included impeller trimmed to 5.125" for optimized flow and head characteristics. Constructed from 316 stainless steel (316SS), it offers excellent corrosion resistance for handling aggressive fluids, slurries, and chemicals. Key benefits include backward compatibility with Goulds 3196 pumps, allowing for easy retrofits and part interchangeability, which reduces downtime and maintenance costs. It supports a maximum pressure of 150 PSI and is suitable for continuous duty in demanding environments. Advantages over similar products include a heavy-duty bearing frame for extended life, open impeller design for solids handling, and optional mechanical seals for leak-free operation. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost compared to non-ANSI pumps and the need for precise alignment during installation. This unit appears refurbished or surplus new, with included manuals and seals, making it ideal for cost-effective upgrades in process systems.
