ACCA 3L8 Progressive Cavity Pump
Complete 3-stage L8 pump for supported Moyno® 3L8 replacement applications.
The L8 pumping element has 10.7 GPM per 100 RPM theoretical displacement. The 3-stage configuration is selected where greater differential-pressure capability is required than lower-stage L8 configurations.
3L8 Pump Specifications

|---|---|---|---|
| Suction | 4.00 in | Discharge | 4.00 in |
| Overall length (CP) | 71.12 in | Weight | 372 lb |
How to Read 3L8
Stage count is selected around differential-pressure requirements.
Identifies the L-Frame drive-end and pumping-element relationship.
L8 displacement is 10.7 GPM per 100 RPM.
Important: stage count affects pressure capability; it does not multiply displacement per revolution. 1L8, 2L8 and 3L8 use the same L8 theoretical displacement.
3L8 Theoretical Capacity by Speed
Actual delivered flow can be lower depending on differential pressure, viscosity, rotor/stator fit, wear and internal slip.
Materials of Construction & Type Designation
L-Frame pumps use a three-letter Type Designation to identify materials by component group. CDQ is a common standard construction, but it is only one of many available material combinations.
C Cast Iron · E Alloy CB-20 Stainless · H Hastelloy C · M Monel · S 316 Stainless Steel · W Cast Steel · X Special
D Alloy Steel · E Alloy CB-20 Stainless · G 416 Stainless · H Hastelloy C · J 17-4 PH Stainless · M Monel · S 316 Stainless · X Special
The third character identifies the stator material only; it does not identify the stator tube/casing material.
Stator Material Codes
| Code | Material Designation | Code | Material Designation |
|---|---|---|---|
| B | EPDM 300, 70 durometer | C | Buna-N 103, 50 durometer |
| D | Tool Steel | E | Buna-N 110, 70 durometer |
| F | Viton 500, 75 durometer | G | 416 Stainless Steel |
| H | Hastelloy C | J | 17-4 PH Stainless Steel |
| K | Hypalon 800, 70 durometer | M | Buna-N 100M, 70 durometer |
| P | Thiokol, 70 durometer | Q | Buna-N 100, 70 durometer |
| R | Natural Rubber 200, 55 durometer | T | Teflon, 15% glass |
| U | Urethane, 70 durometer | X | Special to application |
| Z | Buna-N 150, 70 durometer |
Example – CDQ: C = cast-iron suction housing; D = alloy-steel wetted internals; Q = Buna-N / nitrile stator. The three-letter type code should be read as a material system, not as a single fixed construction.
Stator casing: the type designation does not identify the stator tube. ACCA stator references distinguish regular-steel casing (C4 series) and stainless-steel casing (C5 series) where applicable.
Special Construction / Trim Code: Semi-standard and special-construction pumps may include a separate three-character trim code. The first character identifies sealing variations, the second identifies internal variations, and the third identifies rotor variations. When replacing a special-construction pump, provide ACCA with the complete frame, type designation and trim code.
Typical 3L8 Applications
Use these application guides for process-specific selection considerations. Final pump construction should be confirmed against the actual fluid and duty.
Wastewater & Sludge
Sludge transfer and solids-bearing wastewater services.
Marine Fuel & Viscous Transfer
Viscous transfer duties where positive-displacement pumping is appropriate.
Mining
Abrasive and solids-bearing process duties with construction selected for service.

L8 Element Engineering
The L8 pumping element displaces 10.7 GPM per 100 RPM. Pump speed establishes theoretical capacity before slip and application corrections are considered. For abrasive water-based slurries, horsepower allowance must account for solids concentration and particle size. For Newtonian viscous fluids, apply the L8 viscosity horsepower adder appropriate to viscosity, speed and the approved stage configuration. Temperature and rotor fit can also increase required starting torque and horsepower.
Approved ACCA L8 configurations: 1L8, 2L8 and 3L8.
