End Suction Fire Pumps

End suction fire pumps are specifically designed to significantly reduce fire pump space requirements. Available with either an electric motor or diesel engine driver, the pumps can address a wide range of fire pump applications. Aurora’s end suction fire pumps feature a back pullout design for easy disassembly and maintenance.End Suction Fire Pump deploy a heavy-duty bearing frame to provide long and reliable service in an over-hung impeller design. The end-suction format eliminates the design layout constraints imposed by horizontal split-case pump configurations. Available at a very economical market rates.The approval demonstrates that an independent assessment has been made of the Fire Pump Manufacturer's packages and processes and that they conform to industry standards.End suction pumps are the most common configuration for centrifugal pumps, and the least expensive configuration in many cases. A huge variation of sizes, materials of construction, and designs are offered by manufacturers to handle everything from water at ambient temperature to high pressure and high temperature viscous oils, abrasive slurries, and corrosive chemicals.The end suction pump is a suction pressure pump with its suction nozzle on the opposite side of the casing from the stuffing box, with the face of the suction nozzle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.                               

                          

End Suction Fire Pumps are available in two configurations frame mounted or close-coupled, which can be flanged or threaded. These pumps ably bring Patterson’s rugged performance and reliability to existing applications or new installations.Fire Pump approvals are of course essential for the peace of mind of those that build, operate or use buildings.end suction centrifugal fire pumps with appropriate fittings for providing water supply to fire protection systems in buildings, plants and yards.
