Hoffman Watchman WCS-8-20B Condensate Pump (160011)

Hoffman 160011 Watchman WCS-8-20B

The Hoffman Watchman WCS-8-20B is a high-efficiency condensate return unit designed for low-pressure steam systems. This mechanical assembly features a durable cast iron receiver with an 8-gallon capacity, specifically shaped to prevent the accumulation of sediment and debris. The unit utilizes a centrifugal pump designed to handle hot condensate at 1750 RPM, delivering 12 GPM at 20 PSI. Its compact, floor-mounted design is ideal for space-constrained mechanical rooms where reliable water return is essential for maintaining boiler water levels.

Equipped with a 1/3 HP motor and a factory-preset float switch, the 160011 WCS-8-20B provides automated electrical operation based on receiver water levels. The motor is engineered for frequent start-stop cycles without overheating, ensuring the system can rapidly clear the tank during peak heating periods. Stable electrical synchronization protects the internal mechanical seal from thermal expansion, contributing to the long service life of this critical steam-heating component.
