NAMEPLATE INFORMATION

Every pump has two or three Goulds nameplates that provide
information about the pump. The tags are located on the
upper half and lower half of the casing.

When ordering parts, you will need to identify the pump
model, size, serial number, and the item number of the
required parts. Information can be taken from the pump
casing tags. Item numbers can be found later on in this
manual.
