Thelco Pump of the Day: Worthington 5LR-15 Standard Fitted Pump

Today’s Thelco Pump of the Day features a Worthington 5LR-15 standard fitted centrifugal pump, built for high-demand industrial service and configured with a full 15.75” impeller diameter. This is a serious-duty horizontal split case pump designed to move large volumes with efficiency, stability, and long-term reliability.

Heavy-Duty LR Performance

The Worthington LR series is known for its rugged construction and predictable hydraulic performance. The 5LR-15 delivers smooth operation under continuous load while minimizing vibration and wear. Its split case design allows fast inspection and maintenance without disturbing piping, which reduces downtime and keeps operations running.

Because this unit runs a full diameter impeller, it delivers maximum hydraulic capacity within its design envelope. That makes it ideal for facilities that demand consistent flow and dependable pressure.

Built for Serviceability

This pump uses a standard fitted configuration for easy maintenance and parts interchangeability. Bearings, seals, and wear components are accessible and designed for fast servicing. Operators can rebuild and return the pump to service quickly, which is critical in industrial environments where downtime costs money.

Additionally, the LR platform supports long service intervals when properly maintained. That reliability is why these pumps remain a preferred solution for municipal, industrial, and process applications.
