- The KB Series are top discharge pumps;
- KB pumps are utility pumps – frequently dragged from one site to another. The KB doesn?t have a side discharge connection that can break off or be damaged as it is pulled and pushed into place.
- Top discharge pumps are cooled by pumped liquid – The KB pumps can pump a sump or pit down to within “inches” of the bottom. A side discharge pump without a cooling jacket must stay submerged to avoid overheating, leaving as much as 3 feet of un-pumped slurry.
- Top discharge means “SLIM” – even the largest model with a 13.5 inch “waistline” will fit down a manhole with a hose attached. ? High-Chrome Agitator helps keep solids suspended in liquid and helps prevent pump from clogging.
