FEDCO SLP 160-8 High Efficiency, Single Stage, Close Coupled Centrifugal Pump, Super Duplex
Manufactured by Fluid Equipment Development Company (FEDCO), Monroe, Michigan, USA — supplied by ForeverPure Corporation, an authorized FEDCO distributor based in Santa Clara, California.
The FEDCO SLP is an end-suction single-stage close-coupled centrifugal pump in Super Duplex stainless steel, designed for the low-pressure / high-flow service common in seawater intake, RO low-pressure feed, transfer, backwash, and CIP duty. Five flange-size models are offered, each with multiple impeller trims to fine-tune the duty point.

Theory of Operation
End-suction single-stage architecture provides high efficiency at low head; close-coupled construction mounts the impeller on the motor shaft extension via a NEMA-standard JM/JP frame, eliminating a separate pump bearing housing. Centerline discharge is self-venting. The mechanical seal sits in a removable cartridge with seal flush. Super Duplex (Zeron-100 class) construction provides chloride pitting and crevice-corrosion resistance for raw seawater service.
Key Engineering Advantages
- ANSI 150 lb flanged for standard piping interface
- Multiple impeller trims for precise duty-point selection
- No oil or grease lubrication on the pump end
- Compact footprint and centerline discharge
- Super Duplex SS for raw-seawater service
- NEMA-standard motor for fast field replacement
- Premium mechanical seal with flush for long life
