Description
Description
Specifically designed to offer maximum versatility for handling a wide variety of clean, non-corrosive liquids, the NP and NPH Series Sliding Vane Pumps (Iron Line) are general purpose positive displacement pumps ideal for applications where high temperature, high pressure, high viscosity, and/or shaft sealing requirements dictate a sleeve bearing pump. The Blackmer® unique sliding vane rotor design provides sustained, high level performance over a wide viscosity range, and slow operating speeds with non-pulsating flow minimize shear and agitation of the fluid.
The unique head and bearing design is conducive to long bearing life: a small, continuous flow of fluid from the discharge side to the bearings creates a hydrodynamic film that minimizes temperature rise. These pumps are self-priming and dry-run capable due to self-adjusting vanes, making them ideal for priming and line stripping. High volumetric efficiency and symmetrical bearing support mean the NP/NPH Series pumps require less horsepower than other PD pumps, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs.
NP vs. NPH — which one do I need? Both series share the same internals, performance envelope, and options structure. The difference is the port layout: NP models (NP1.5B, NP2F, NP2.5F, NP3F, NP4F) have a side inlet with a top outlet offset 90° from the inlet, and are cast iron construction. NPH models (NPH2F, NPH2.5F, NPH3F, NPH4F) have a side inlet with a side outlet offset 180° from the inlet, and are ductile iron construction. Pick the model that matches the piping layout on your installation.
- Ductile-iron/cast-iron construction with metallized carbon sleeve bearings and non-metallic vanes for longer life
- Optional commercial mechanical seal with stainless steel, carbon, and PTFE construction
- Shaft stuffing box accommodates most standard aftermarket mechanical seal configurations
- Jacketed pump head option available for high temperature operation (call to order, see Configuration Options below)
- Pump design and operation minimizes shear and agitation
- Adjustable relief valve protects the pump against excessive pressures
Common applications: refined fuels, greases, solvents, chocolate, syrups, molasses, edible oils, black liquor, sodium silicate, tallow, wax, glues, adhesives, creosote, asphalt, and Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF).

Pump Weight is Blackmer/PSG's published dimensions-table weight for the bare pump. Shipping Weight is the price sheet's shipping weight and is what freight/checkout uses for this listing; the two differ on several models, which is normal for this series.
Configuration Options (call to order)
The options below are available on every NP/NPH model but are not sold online due to Shopify's 3-option limit. Call (262) 646-4500 to add any of these to your order, or to confirm fitment before you order.
| Category | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vane Material | Duravane® (standard), Laminate, Bronze, Iron (all extra-clearance vanes, priced per model) | Chemical-compatibility decision, best confirmed against your Seal selection. |
| Rotation | Open Rotor Right-hand (standard), Open Rotor Left-hand, Closed Rotor Right-hand, Closed Rotor Left-hand | Closed Rotor not offered on NP1.5B. |
| Relief Valve | Iron (standard), Corrosion Resistant | — |
| Relief Valve Spring | Steel springs (multiple PSI ranges, standard range is $0), Stainless Steel springs (priced) | Call to specify your required pressure range. |
| O-Ring / Elastomer | FKM (standard), PTFE, Buna-N | — |
| Cylinder Drain | Standard, without drain (standard), Cast/Ductile Iron with SAE bottom drain | — |
| Jacketed Heads | No Jacketed Heads (standard), Jacketed Heads w/ NPT connections, Jacketed Head (NPT) Inboard Only, Heads equipped for Electric Heating | Not cost-neutral — adds $377–$3,005 depending on model, and increases shipping weight by 6–28 lb over the standard (non-jacketed) weight shown above. Max jacket coolant pressure 150 psi (coolant connections 3/4" NPT, 3/8" NPT on NP1.5B). |
| Electric Heating Package | PTFE Packing (G3) + Stainless Steel RV Spring (G or J) + Electric Heating Heads (3) | Must be ordered together as a group per Blackmer — not offered as a standalone Seal option online for that reason. Includes high-temperature paint, special bushings, and bearing cover; heating cartridges not included. |
