48L525 - Little Giant VCMX-20ULST Condensate Removal Pump, 115V

High-Performance Condensate Removal for Industrial MRO

The Little Giant VCMX-20ULST (Grainger SKU 48L525) is a premium condensate removal pump designed to handle the demanding requirements of modern HVAC and industrial cooling systems. Engineered with a vertical centrifugal pump mechanism, this unit delivers reliable performance with a flow rate of 84 gallons per hour (GPH) at 1 foot of head and a maximum shut-off head of 20 feet. Its robust 1/30 HP motor operates on standard 115V AC power, making it compatible with most facility electrical systems. The pump features a substantial 1/2 gallon reservoir, which significantly reduces motor cycling and extends the lifespan of the unit compared to smaller capacity models.

Advanced Safety and Control Features

Safety and reliability are paramount in the VCMX-20ULST design. It comes equipped with a safety overflow switch that can be wired to shut down the appliance or trigger an alarm in the event of high water levels, preventing potential water damage to the facility. The unit also includes an external test switch, allowing maintenance personnel to manually cycle the pump and verify operation without filling the tank. The patent-pending cooling design improves motor efficiency and prevents overheating during continuous operation cycles.

Installation and Compatibility

Designed for versatility, the VCMX-20ULST features a slim footprint that fits easily into tight spaces, such as behind air handlers or inside equipment housings. The pump includes a 1/4-turn check valve for easy servicing and eliminates the need to disconnect tubing during maintenance. It comes complete with 20 feet of 3/8-inch clear vinyl tubing, ensuring you have the necessary components for immediate installation. The rubber feet isolate vibration, ensuring quiet operation suitable for noise-sensitive environments. This pump is an essential component for managing condensate in high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, dehumidifiers, and air conditioning systems within industrial MRO settings.
