Thelco Pump of the Day: Worthington 5LR-15 Split Case Pump
Built for Volume. Designed to Perform.
Today’s Thelco Pump of the Day features the Worthington 5LR-15, equipped with a full diameter 15.75” impeller and standard fitted construction.
Right away, this unit shows its capability. Its double suction design and larger frame handle high flow demands while maintaining balance and stability.
Double Suction Design Drives Performance
First, the split case design pulls fluid into both sides of the impeller. This design reduces axial thrust, improves balance, and increases efficiency.
As a result, the pump moves higher volumes while running smoother under load.
Full Diameter Impeller — 15.75”
Next, this unit uses a full diameter 15.75” impeller, which allows it to deliver maximum performance for its design.
Because the impeller remains at full size, the pump:
- Delivers maximum flow
- Maintains strong output
- Operates at full hydraulic capacity
In addition, the balanced assembly keeps vibration low and performance steady.
Simplified Maintenance
Just as important, the horizontal split case design allows fast access to internal components.
Technicians can:
- Open the casing without removing piping
- Service internals quickly
- Reduce downtime significantly
Therefore, teams keep operations running without unnecessary delays.
Why the Worthington LR Series?
For decades, the LR series has delivered reliable, high-volume performance. It continues to:
- Move large volumes efficiently
- Maintain balance under load
- Provide long service life
Because of this, operators rely on LR pumps in demanding systems.
