Boiler Feed Pumps
10MX Series Boiler Feed
Skidmore 10MX Series Condensate Return and Boiler Feed units are designed to provide maximum efficiency, reliability, and easy maintenance in a compact, space-saving configuration. They are packaged units, completely assembled, wired, and factory tested before shipment to ensure the product is ready for service when it is received. 10MX Series Boiler Feed units are used to pump condensate and makeup water directly into the boiler. Pumping action is determined by a boiler-mounted control that senses boiler water level requirements. Each boiler feed unit is equipped with a heavy-duty makeup valve mounted on the end of the receiver. This valve is activated by the position of its seamless float within the receiver and can be easily removed as a complete unit. Standard simplex or duplex units are available with steel horizontal or vertical receivers in 49-, 71-, 117-, or 209-gallon capacities and include a glass water level gauge with sight glass. When ordering, specify the model number and voltage requirement.
Proctor Series Boiler Feed
Easy to use and maintain, the Protector is known as our most reliable in-stock unit. Available in simplex or duplex units, as well as condensate return or boiler feed units, all Protector series units are capable of handling hot or cold water. Many units have low profiles for low-headroom applications. Protector Boiler Feed units are used to pump condensate and makeup water directly into the boiler(s). Protector Boiler Feed receivers are available in cast iron or carbon steel. Steel offers a broad range of receiver size options, making it perfect for space-saving configurations.

Condensate Return Pumps
10MX Series Condensate Return
Skidmore 10MX Series Condensate Return and Boiler Feed units are designed to provide maximum efficiency, reliability, and easy maintenance in a compact, space-saving configuration. They are packaged units, completely assembled, wired, and factory tested before shipment to ensure the product is ready for service when it is received. 10MX Series Condensate Return units are used in low-pressure heating systems to collect and return condensate to the boiler feed unit. This pump is controlled by the water level in the receiver. When the receiver water level reaches a set point, the high-level float switch starts the return pump(s), pumping the water from the receiver to the boiler feed system. Unlike our 10MX boiler feed units, which are controlled by a boiler-mounted control and equipped with a makeup valve mechanism, 10MX condensate pumps often do not directly supply boiler makeup water.
