Expanded fire pump range introduced

Armstrong Fluid Technology has expanded its line of Constant Speed Vertical-In-Line Fire Pumps, now offering a model with a maximum 500 US gallons per minute (USGPM) flow rate for both 60Hz and 50Hz markets.

The new pump includes high-pressure ratings of up to 160PSI.

It has been designed to reduce the need for offset piping and motor realignment while occupying less floor space than Horizontal Split Case models.

Features of the new fire pump

The latest addition to Armstrong’s Vertical-In-Line series includes a smaller motor than comparable pumps at the same duty point.

It also has a smaller environmental footprint than standard diesel-driven pumps.

The pump has been approved by UL, ULC, and FM, ensuring compliance with industry safety and performance standards.

Industry positioning

Michael DeMille, Global Offering Manager for Fire Pumps at Armstrong Fluid Technology, highlighted the product’s unique capabilities: “Armstrong is one of only four manufacturers who can offer a VIL fire pump reaching 160PSI at 500 USGPM.”

He added: “This new model is an excellent addition to our existing Vertical-In-Line pump series.”

Availability and applications

The pump is designed for use in fire protection systems across a range of global markets.

Its vertical in-line configuration allows for easier installation and maintenance in settings where space is limited.

The expansion of the Vertical-In-Line Fire Pump range aligns with Armstrong’s broader efforts to provide efficient and compact fire protection solutions.
