Product Overview
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.
FEATURES
- Three manual speed selections provide adjustment for high-resistance piping runs
- Maximum head capability of 12 m accommodates multi-level heating distribution
- Cast iron pump housing EN-GJL-250 engineered for closed-loop commercial heating

What peak dynamic head can this multi speed circulating pump achieve at top speed?
Discharging upward against heavy multi-story resistance, the UPS 40-120 F achieves a maximum dynamic head of approximately 12 m.
What peak delivery flow rate does this three speed pump discharge through its outlet port?
Supplying commercial boiler headers, the Grundfos UPS 40-120 F maintains a maximum delivery flow capacity of approximately 177 L/Min through DN 40 flanged connections.
How does the heavy cast iron casing resist corrosion and thermal fatigue in heating loops?
Targeted for heavy industrial hydronic reliability, the UPS-40-120-F integrates a Cast Iron housing with stainless steel impeller with laser-welded stainless components.
What supply voltage, phase feed, and motor kilowatt power run this three speed circulator?
Driven across commercial heating circuits, the motor on the Grundfos UPS 40 120 F produces 0.47 kW (470 W) functioning on 240 V drawing a rated current of 2.2 Amps.
What operating pressure limit in bar and fluid temperature span can this three speed pump sustain?
Commercial boiler circuit guidelines allow the UPS_40_120_F to be operated at working pressures up to 10 bar with fluids from -10°C to 120°C.
