Federal

Federal Pump manufactures pumps and pump systems, including condensate returns, boiler feed units, end suction pumps, and sump and sewage lift stations. The company serves New York City and the Tri-State region.

BoilerSupplies.com carries one Federal family, Condensate & Boiler Feed Replacement Pumps, with one listing in it. Which pump fits depends on what the unit does. A condensate return unit collects condensate in its receiver and sends it back as it comes in. A boiler feed unit holds water in reserve and sends it when the level control on the boiler signals. The replacement pump has to suit the unit it goes on, so the nameplate comes first.

Are a condensate pump, a condensate station and a return tank all a condensate return unit?

Not quite, though all three names get used for the whole unit. Strictly, a return tank is the receiver alone and a condensate pump is the pump. A condensate return unit, or condensate station, is the receiver together with its pump and controls. Say which part you mean when you call about a Federal unit.

What does BoilerSupplies.com list for Federal equipment?

BoilerSupplies.com lists one product for Federal equipment: the replacement pump for Federal condensate return and boiler feed units. Sump stations, sewage lift stations and end suction pumps are part of the wider range Federal Pump manufactures, and they are a separate matter from this listing. A buyer with a boiler room unit is in the right place.

What should I have in hand before I order a pump for a Federal unit?

Have the nameplate data from the unit and from the pump on it. Write down the unit model, the pump model and the motor details as stamped, and note whether the unit returns condensate or feeds the boiler. Photos of both nameplates cover most of that in one step.

Can I replace the pump and keep the Federal receiver?

Often, yes. When the pump on a unit wears out, the receiver can often stay and the pump alone is replaced. Whether the receiver is still sound gets judged at the unit, by the person looking at it. The replacement pump is chosen to suit the unit, which is why the nameplate details come before the order.
