Armstrong Fluid Technology has enhanced its Fireset Horizontal Split Case (HSC) fire pump line with two models.
Featuring a tilted parting design to maximize efficiency by minimizing turbulence at the impeller eye, the 5x4x17F and 6x5x12F pumps are ideal for installations that require between 500 and 1,000 USgpm. Compatible with both electric motor (50 Hz and 60 Hz) and diesel engine drivers, the Fireset HSC pumps offer a variety of features:
- Double suction design for operating efficiency and high flow performance
- Mechanical features including suction and discharge alignment, dynamically balanced and fully enclosed impeller, factory-aligned pump and motor, protective bearing-removal mechanism, and removable upper-half casings for durability, operating efficiency and maintenance ease
- The suction and discharge are on the same center line to allow sprinkler contractors to do re-piping in the pump room before the pump arrives
- Pump design using industry standard parts and tools for maintenance
- Right or left hand suction configuration with electric-driven pumps for adapting to mechanical room piping arrangements
- Compact design (distance between suction and discharge flanges) for installation and maintenance in tight spaces.
The Armstrong line of Fireset HSC Pumps offers a performance range of 500 USgpm to 3,000 USgpm.
