About
A direct replacement pumphead for portable close-coupled pumps with IEC 71 motors. Engineered for fast, quiet, and reliable fluid transfer.
- Flow Rate vs. RPM: 12 GPM @ 1800 RPM | 20 GPM @ 2850 RPM | 25 GPM @ 3450 RPM.
- Direct Fit: Designed for IEC 71 motors with a 14mm keyed shaft.
- Smooth Operation: Large displacement helical-cut steel gears for fast and quiet operation.
- Ready to Plumb: 1" NPT ports (Includes two 1.25" hose barbs).
The ultimate cast-iron replacement pumphead. Engineered to move heavy gear oils, waste motor oil, and diesel, this is the exact head used on our flagship Goldstream portable transfer pumps.
In a true heavy-duty fluid transfer system, your electric motor is the expensive workhorse that should last for years, while the pumphead inevitably takes the abuse of moving heavy, abrasive oils. The GSM25 is a cost-effective, direct-replacement pumphead designed for portable close-coupled pumps with IEC 71 motors, getting you back to pumping at peak efficiency in minutes.
Key Features & Benefits
- Scalable Performance: The flow rate scales with your motor's speed. Pair with 3450 RPM for 25 GPM, 2850 RPM for 20 GPM, or 1800 RPM for high-torque 12 GPM transfer.
- Fast & Quiet Operation: Equipped with large displacement, helical-cut steel gears that provide a nearly pulseless flow, drastically reducing vibration and noise during heavy transfer jobs.
- Universal Fit: Designed as a direct bolt-on fit for IEC 71 standard electric motors utilizing a 14mm keyed shaft.
- Self-Priming: Creates strong suction lift right out of the box, saving you time and hassle.

Motor Sizing & Fluid Viscosity Guide
Thicker oils require significantly more torque to move, especially at higher speeds. Pairing this pumphead with the correct motor is critical to prevent your motor from overheating. Use the guidelines below to size your custom build:
| Motor Speed (Flow) | Fluid Viscosity / Type | Minimum HP Required |
|---|---|---|
| 1800 RPM (12 GPM) | Cold Motor Oil, Waste Oil (WMO) | 3/4 HP |
| 3450 RPM (25 GPM) | Light Oils (Diesel, Warm ATF) | 3/4 HP |
| 3450 RPM (25 GPM) | Heavier Oils (Cold Motor Oil) | 1 HP to 2 HP |
⚠ Important Operating Notes
- Oil Lubricated Only: The internal gears rely on the fluid for lubrication. THIS PUMP WILL NOT WORK WITH WATER. Always ensure the pumphead has fluid before extended operation. Do not pump water, gasoline, or highly flammable solvents.
