Hoffman WCS-12-20B Condensate Pump 160012

Hoffman 160012 Watchman WCS-12-20B

The Hoffman 160012 Watchman WCS-12-20B is an upgraded condensate return unit featuring a larger 12-gallon cast iron receiver. This mechanical configuration allows for longer dwell times and higher volume recovery in medium-sized commercial buildings. The 1750 RPM centrifugal pump is precision-balanced to move 18 GPM at 20 PSI, facilitating a smooth laminar flow path that reduces noise and vibration. The cast iron construction provides superior corrosion resistance against the aggressive nature of hot condensate compared to steel alternatives.

Powered by a 1/3 HP motor, the WCS-12-20B offers efficient electrical performance for steady-state condensate transfer. The integrated float switch manages the electrical duty cycle, ensuring the pump only operates when necessary to save energy. Consistent electrical torque minimizes shaft deflection, which safeguards the integrity of the carbon-ceramic seal faces and prevents the leaks that can lead to energy loss in vacuum or atmospheric steam systems.
