Fristam FL100 L - self priming?

[MortenA]

I have been browsing various spec sheets and brochures but cant seem to find any information if Fristam FL100 L pump is self priming and if yes, how mush suction head it can provide. So if you have this information i would appriceiate it if you could share

It is a positive displacement pump. Positive displacement pumps are inherently self-priming.

The maximum suction lift is going to depend primarily on your fluid's vapor pressure.

Fristram has a very good write-up:

I can't see NIPR anywhere on that data sheet though..

If this is water ar say 20C then you're practically limited to about 7m at sea level altitude.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Thanks guys,

Didnt look in the imperial versions and i could'nt find the graph on p 36 in the others. Maybe i was just impatient.
