VL / VLS (Vertical In-Line Close or Split Coupled)

Vertical Inline Centrifugal Pumps

What's your Installation Footprint?

When floor space is a consideration, you’ll want to go with the VL. Where many other pumps might not fit, the VL’s vertical inline mounting guarantees the smallest footprint, literally requiring no floor space.

The PACO VL / VLS series of Grundfos pumps are part of the SMART family of pump products which are better engineered to increase efficiency and reduce radial loads. SMART pumps are also designed to help reduce operating and maintenance costs. The VL/VLS Inline pumps have proven to be extremely versatile, often exceeding the requirements for a variety of market applications, such as chilled water, condenser water, and hot water systems.

PACO VL is an in-line pump which mounts vertically and guarantees the smallest footprint. The pump requires no flexible connectors or foundation grouting.

VL Benefits

• Saves floor space and reduces piping.
• No flexible connectors or foundation grouting needed.
• Mounts like a valve for quick installation.
• No coupling alignment or bearing frame assembly needed.
• Equal Size Suction and Discharge Pipes means no need for reducers or other fittings.
• Double Volute Design for increased efficiency, lower life cycle costs, & prolonged seal and bearing life.
• Back Pull-Out Design enables maintenance without disturbing piping.

PACO VLS is a split-coupled, in-line pump which mounts vertically and guarantees the smallest footprint. The pump features a spacer coupling for ease of maintenance.

VLS Benefits

• Spacer coupling allows easy replacement of mechanical seal without removing motor (minimal downtime) & reduced operating and maintenance costs.
• Axially split coupling facilitates ease of service and alignment.
• Saves floor space and reduces piping.
• No flexible connectors or foundation grouting needed.
• Mounts like a valve for quick installation.
• No coupling alignment or bearing frame assembly needed.
• Equal Size Suction and Discharge Pipes means no need for reducers or other fittings.
• Double Volute Design for increased efficiency, lower life cycle costs, & prolonged seal and bearing life.
• Back Pull-Out Design enables maintenance without disturbing piping.
