I can get this pump off CL but I'm wondering if it's ok for beer. March website says
The maximum internal pressure the pump can tolerate is 50PSI, and the maximum liquid temperature is 190 Fahrenheit or 87 Celsius. The March BC-3CP-MD centrifugal magnetic drive pump is capable of handling mildly or highly corrosive chemicals, acids, and solvents.

I won't be operating near 50 psi obviously as it's for transferring HLT to MT, MT to BK and BK to PC. I do, however, want to pump boiling wort in for a few seconds to sanitize before transferring into the PC. Is 190 close enough for your comfort level regarding the use for brewing? The seller says brewers have used it before and that's all he could say.
I wanted the MDX-MT3 he had but he sold it. That one's made from Ryton, this one is polypropylene.
