Standard (8VL) and Explosion-Proof (8VLX)

The Myers 8VL submersible non-clog Sewage Pumps are designed especially for high flow applications such as: Large Municipal lift stations, treatment plants, transfer stations and dewatering. A quick removal type rail system is available to simplify installation and maintenance. The 8VL's ability to handle solids up to 4 inches in diameter and 3 available motor speeds make it ideal for most high flow wastewater applications.

Advantages By Design
High efficiency hydraulic design cuts pumping costs and extends life of fluid end components.
  • Two-vane, rounded port impellers handle solids with ease at high operating efficiencies.
  • Modified, constant velocity volute offers quiet operation, low radial loads over extended portion of performance curve.
Durable motor will deliver many years of reliable service
  • Oil-filled motor and seal cavity for maximum heat dissipation and continuous bearing lubrication.
  • Heat sensor thermostats imbedded in windings protect motor from overheat conditions.
  • Seal leak probes warn of moisture entry: helps prevent costly motor burn-out.
