PUMP NIRA 3/4 NIRA 6B 1102

Primarily a stainless steel hand pump with nitrile seals, suitable for pumping oil, glycol, and domestic water. Ideal for use at summer cottages as a sauna water pump or for oil tanks. This pump has an upward-facing handle; the handle direction cannot be adjusted after purchase. The pump can also be ordered upon request with the handle facing downward. The pump is delivered in a cardboard box. This pump has 3/4" threaded connections, but it is also available with 1" connections (product 4713504).

This pump is not recommended for drinking water, as it does not self-drain after use, leaving water inside the pump. Therefore, if the Nira 6B pump is used for domestic water pumping and stored in a location where freezing is possible, the pump must be emptied of water before freezing temperatures. Maximum output is approximately 40 liters per minute. Suction height is 4 m, and 8 m with a foot valve.

Internal thread size is 3/4" or 1"; specify when ordering. Pressure resistance is temporarily up to 3 bar, weight is 3.3 kg.

When installing the pump, note that the suction pipe length affects the pump's maximum suction height. With a foot valve, the suction height is 8 meters; without a foot valve, it is 4 meters. A standard P 1" (32 mm) pipe is typically used as the suction pipe, with the foot valve installed at its end. Garden hose is unsuitable as a suction pipe because it is too soft and the pump's suction will collapse it. The Nira 6B can temporarily withstand a pressure of about 3 bar. The pump must not be installed in a system where it is continuously under pressure. When connecting the pump to a fuel tank, ensure the tank cannot empty itself (siphoning effect).
