Anybody know the best place to get a Stainless Steel pump head for a march pump 809 series?
Why do you need that? Just curious, I may need one!
Plus I kind of think the side input and face output would be handy too
Are you sure the outlet is on the face? I have this pump: March pump part # 809 PL/HS-C. All of the pumps I've seen have the inlet on the face of the pump housing and the outlet on the side. Not saying there isn't one, but I haven't seen it. - Dwain
The march comes in many formats. One has a 3/4" inlet on the face and a 1/2" outlet in the standard position. I believe this is the best arrangement provided that you can feed the pump with 3/4" lines.
brewmasterswarehouse sells that format in plastic.
The word NEED never really entered into the equation until I started to gum up the threads on the Poly Plastic one that I have. Plus I kind of think the side input and face output would be handy too.
I am using SS tri-clamp fittings on mine and the metal treads can and will cross the plastic NPT threads if you are not VERY careful.
I was not so careful.
Sim, no link to the supplier???? I need to by two SS head pumps (OK need isn't the right word ) and would love to get them cheaper. I was under the impression B3 made those heads custom. If there is an alternate I would be very happy to know of it.
Are you willing to use any other SS non magnetic drive pump in case you don't find the March magnetic drive pump with a SS head?Anybody know the best place to get a Stainless Steel pump head for a march pump 809 series?
Ever find what you were looking for? I bought one of these:

Had a bit of an issue with it; the wheel inside was getting stuck. But I switched out the wheel with the plastic head i had on there before and it worked like a charm.
digr,
one thing was brought up by Walter at March pump was to replace the 809 pump impeller with a 815 HF $24 impeller thru a distributor cheaper. This one item will make the 809 pump go from 12' to 18' max head. With Chugger their specs state 14' head, install the March 815 HF impeller into a Chugger pump, bingo a 18' head stainless head pump.
