Designed for higher system resistance, the Grundfos UPS 40-120 F generates double the head capacity of standard 40 mm circulators in commercial building installations. It operates within multi-storey hydronic heating risers, fan coil distribution loops, and secondary heat exchanger circuits.
The 250 mm port-to-port casing is manufactured from EN-GJL-250 cast iron, housing an AISI 304 stainless steel impeller, stainless steel rotor can, and bearing plate. Built for working pressures up to 10 bar, the unit accommodates circulating fluid temperatures from -10°C to 120°C with an overall weight of 18.3 kg.
The motor has a maximum power input (P1) of 470 W at 2.2 A on a 1 x 230-240 V 50 Hz power supply across three manual speed steps. The hydraulic assembly produces a maximum head of 12 m and a rated flow rate of 10.6 m³/h (177 L/Min) connected via standard DN 40 DIN flanges.
Fluid-lubricated ceramic radial bearings and a carbon axial bearing remove mechanical seal wear inside the canned rotor chamber. Motor windings incorporate Class H insulation inside an IPX4D casing, backed by integrated thermal switches for motor winding protection.
