Pentair Pentek® XE-6 / XE-8 6" & 8" Submersible Motor
Delivers outstanding performance through lower amp draw and high efficiencies, which yield lower operating costs. Combined with many durable, innovative and advanced design features, Pentek XE-6 and XE-8 are the perfect solution for your submersible motor needs.
Key Features
- Exceptional insulation rating (Class F) and temperature rating (95 F / 35 C)
- IP68 protection rating
- VFD-compatible
- Vertical or horizontal operation
Exclusive Advanced Protection System
Provides THREE layers of defense against sand and debris intrusion
1) External sand slinger boot - Features a labyrinth seal design to better capture any sand or debris, keeping it away from the shaft
2) Lip seal - Located below the sand slinger providing an extra layer of protection
3) Mechanical seal – silicon carbide
- Super abrasion, wear and corrosion resistance
- Resists deflection in high-pressure, high-heat and high-speed conditions
- High thermal conductivity (heat dissipation)
- Provides superior protection against sand intrusion
Thrust Bearings - water-lubricated, Kingsbury-type. Thrust ratings are between 3% and 35% better than the leading 6” submersible motors
Motor Leads - 17’- potted connection, including ground wire. Non-jacketed wire assembly for easier handling and connections. Fully field replaceable.
