Product Description
Identifying Your Pump:
All pumps shipped from the MTH factory have nameplates that include information on the model number, serial number, and item number of the pump. These are used to identify the pump, its configuration, materials of construction, and all other accessories associated with it at the time of shipment from the factory. When ordering replacement pumps or parts, the factory will require either the serial number or item number of the existing pump to make sure proper replacements are provided. Model numbers are also useful to confirm the correctness of the serial number or item number.
Model Numbers
The model number identifies the pump series or type, size, number of stages, and the standard materials of construction. Model numbers alone cannot identify whether the pump has any special or optional materials. Model numbers are often necessary to confirm the correctness of a serial number or item number. Refer to the Standard Product Model Numbers for a detailed description of MTH model numbers.
Serial Numbers:
The serial number provides a unique identification of the pump and links the pump to its factory sales order file that contains the model number and item number. Serial numbers identify the pump’s manufactured date, sales order number it was processed under, and the corresponding item number on the sales order. It is comprised of three groups of characters (numbers and letters) separated by dashes. It has at least nine characters depending on the length of the sales order number and the number of pumps on the sales order. Serial numbers are indicated on the pump nameplate as well as stamped on the pump casing.
The following is an example of a serial number:
06H-100101-1
06H –Date Code. Indicates the year and month the pump was manufactured. “06” is the ending of the year, while “H” is the month when the pump was built. Letters “A” through “L” are assigned to correspond to the order of the month in the calendar: “A” being January and “L” being December.
100101 – Sales order number. It is a five or six-digit number that indicates the sales order number the pump was processed under.
1 – Pump number. Indicates the number assigned to the pump depending on the number of pumps manufactured under the same sales order.
The serial numbers stamped on the pump casing only include the sales order number and pump number, and do not have a date code.
Item Number:
MTH normally utilizes a 25-character item numbering system to configure the whole pump assembly. In some cases, special item numbers that are shorter than the standard 25-character are assigned to assemblies for a particular end-user or OEM. Item Numbers are created mainly for internal purposes to generate bills of material.
Who is MTH Pumps:
MTH Pumps is a highly vertically integrated regenerative turbine, centrifugal, sealless, and OEM pump manufacturer who sells its products through representatives, distributors or directly to large volume OEM`s. The company is a closely held family owned business that has grown consistently over the years since its inception in 1965. One key to its growth has been its ability to determine the cause of customer pumping problems and solve the problems with custom engineered solutions.Another important factor in MTH`s ongoing growth has been its commitment from very early on to stock and make its standard catalog items available in 3-5 days or less. MTH is dedicated to producing products with superior performance and high reliability, while still maintaining a low cost, and servicing its customers in a timely and professional manner.
MTH Pumps` main product goal is to develop and produce pumping products that address the needs of various industries, OEM`s, and end users alike. Towards this end we have embraced a very customer-centric drive that has lead us to develop a wide variety of mechanically sealed regenerative turbine, centrifugal, and other pumping products. These products have grown in popularity over the years to become what MTH considers its Standard Product Line. The wealth of engineering creativity that nurtured the development of the company from its inception continues to be expressed in our Custom Engineered Products. In some instances our custom engineered products are simple modifications of our standard product line. While in many other cases, MTH has designed entirely new styles and types of pumps (such as sealless) to suit exact customer needs and specifications.
MTH pumps are produced in a modern U.S. manufacturing plant in Plano, Illinois, utilizing state-of-the-art computer controlled machining equipment to provide consistently reliable products. 100% of our products are tested before leaving the factory to assure quality.
Some of our existing areas of application expertise include boiler feed service, booster service, car & truck wash, condensate return, deicing, chillers, heat exchangers, pressure testing, spraying, transfer, wash down, temperature control systems, chemical mixing and metering, fire protection jockey systems, refrigeration, petroleum processing, as well as many other chemical process applications. Please see our Pumping Product Types and Applications sections for a more complete list.
