Features
• The UL448 & NFPA 20 Compliant Horizontal Double-Suction Fire Pump is designed for high-capacity stationary fire protection water supply systems. Featuring a horizontal split-case (double-suction) design with inline suction and discharge flanges aligned along the same horizontal axis, this pump offers a compact footprint, easy piping layout, and simplified installation. Driven by an electric motor or diesel engine via a flexible coupling on a shared structural baseplate skid, the complete pump package strictly adheres to UL 448 and NFPA 20 manufacturing and performance standards.
• Engineered with a double-suction impeller, the pump achieves excellent low Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHr) characteristics, virtually eliminating axial hydraulic thrust and preventing cavitation during high-flow emergency operation. For long-term durability and corrosion resistance during extended standby periods, the impeller and shaft are fabricated from high-grade stainless steel, paired with precision-machined copper alloy (bronze) wear rings to prevent galling, minimize internal recirculation, and extend maintenance-free service life.
