Little Giant PE-1, 115V, 170 GPH Small Submersible Pump, 6' Cord

The Little Giant PE-1 is a compact submersible pump designed for low-volume water transfer, display circulation, and equipment cooling. It delivers reliable flow for projects like statuary fountains, air conditioning units, and machine tool coolant setups across residential, commercial, or light industrial environments.

Installation is straightforward thanks to its adaptable physical layout. The pump can operate in any orientation as long as the fluid remains above the intake, and the volute rotates 90 degrees to simplify hose or pipe routing. It features an epoxy-encapsulated 1/125 HP motor, a glass-filled polyester cover, polypropylene internal parts, and a triple lip Nitrile shaft seal to handle constant liquid contact.

With a maximum capacity of 170 GPH at a 1-foot lift and a 7-foot shutoff limit, this unit is built strictly for smaller fluid tasks. Its 1/4-inch MNPT discharge matches smaller tubing sizes, so projects requiring high flow volumes, higher lift, or larger fittings will require a bigger system.

Verdict: The Little Giant PE-1 is a dependable, energy-efficient solution for statuary, small displays, and equipment coolant lines. It is ideal for anyone needing a low-profile submersible pump for modest lift and flow requirements.

• Flow Rate: 170 GPH at 1-ft. lift
• Shutoff Height: 7 ft.
• Discharge Size: 1/4 inch MNPT
• Motor Power: 1/125 HP, 36 Watts, 0.6 running Amps
• Electrical: 115V, 60 Hz, impedance protected
• Power Cord: 6-ft. cord with standard North American plug
• Materials: Glass-filled polyester cover, polypropylene volute, impeller, and screen
• Seal: Triple lip Nitrile shaft seal
• Certifications: CSA listed (USA and Canada)

A great fit if you:

• Need to run small water displays or statuary fountains.
• Require liquid transfer for air conditioning systems or machine tool coolants.
• Want a compact submersible unit with a rotatable discharge volute.

Consider something else if you:

• Need to lift water higher than 7 feet.
• Require large-diameter plumbing connections beyond 1/4-inch MNPT.
