Flotec FP0F360AC, safe for transfer to BK?

[NYC]

So I recently picked this up at a garage sale for $5. Here is a link to the same model: http://www.homedepot.com/buy/plumbing/pumps/flotec/1-12-horsepower-350-gph-liquid-transfer-utility-pump-41646.html.

I'd really like to use this to transfer from MLT to my BK. In general the wort is 155-160F. What do you think? Worth the experiment, or am I asking for oily wort/a melted pump? I searched the forums before posting this and couldn't find an answer.

Thanks in advance!

From specs:

• Maximum working temperature (F): 77.0

Additionally, you have no way of knowing what else the pump has been used for. I can think of many things such a pump could be used for that I would NOT want in my beer.

OK, thanks that is great info. Where did you find the specs? I was Googling for a while without any luck.

Well, in that case if anyone has a use for this please shoot me a PM. I'll probably put it up in classifieds in a bit.

It was on the page you linked to, under the specs tab.

It'd be a decent pump for circulating icewater (for chilling) or for closed loop chilling.

Derp! I can't believe I missed that...actually I can.

Well if anyone wants it I'm not sure what a fair price is, but make an offer!
