Goulds HSU Submersible Pumps
PDF datasheet mirror for Goulds HSU Submersible Pumps (Goulds Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product Identification
- Goulds HSU, HSUL, and JCU Submersible Pumps.
- Model HSU: Hydro-solids pumps featuring a recessed impeller designed to accommodate large, stringy, and fibrous solids without clogging. Suitable for virtually any sump application due to its fully submersible design.
- Model HSUL: Submersible recessed impeller pumps capable of handling any solid up to its suction/discharge size. Offers versatile mounting options, including standing or an optional slide rail arrangement.
- Model JCU: Heavy-duty submersible pumps specifically designed for handling tough abrasive slurries. The impeller design provides an optimum combination of solids handling ability, wear resistance, and efficiency. An optional slide rail assembly is available for ease of maintenance.

- JCU: Heavy Duty Design (extra thick wall sections), Replaceable Suction Liner, Suction Cover (bell-shaped intake), Integral Strainer (cast-on vertical tines), Pump Mounting (three cast-on legs, optional slide rail), Maximum Interchangeability with Goulds Models JC and VJC pumps.
- Options:
- Slide Rail System: Available on Models HSUL and JCU for easy pump unit removal without disturbing discharge piping. Features a locking cam action with locator lugs and a large O-ring for positive sealing, allowing tangential discharge for high efficiency.
Electrical
- Submersible Motors:
- UL and CSA Approved Explosion Proof.
- Epoxy encapsulated and butt-spliced cable entry system prevents liquid entry and provides non-wicking design.
- Permanently lubricated and sealed ball bearings.
- F Class insulation and 1.15 service factor standard.
- Tandem mechanical seals provide complete protection for motor internals.
- Thermal protection standard.
- Dual moisture probes provide early warning of seal failure.
- Conforms to NEMA, IEEE, ANSI and NEC standards.
- High temperature option allows operation to 90°C (194°F).
- 5-year Pro-Rated Warranty.
- Moisture Detector: Required for warranty validation. Provides one normally open and two normally closed connections for activating a warning and/or de-energizing the motor.
