As the most common type of fire pump, horizontal split case fire pumps are specially tested for fire-service applications where reliability of performance is of vital importance. Characterized by easy access to all working parts, rugged construction, liberal water passages and efficient operation, they are specified when the source of water is located above the surface of the ground and will provide a positive suction pressure to the pump at any performance point.

Flow-Tech offers the proven Aurora brand of horizontal split case fire pumps to its customers. There are several capacity ratings of Aurora fire pumps available ranging from 250 to 5000 GPM and pressures of 40 to 490 psi.

Aurora’s standard non-labeled production pumps comply with performance requirements for fire pump service.  For you this means:

  • Lower initial cost
  • Quicker delivery from stock
  • Parts interchangeability with Aurora pumps specified elsewhere in your building to reduce spare parts inventory and simplify maintenance

Aurora offers the only true line of vertical split case double-suction pumps approved and listed for fire service.

Vertical fire pumps provide distinct advantages over horizontal pump constructions:

  • Less floor space required
  • Inline piping arrangement allows piping in any direction in most cases
  • Elevated motor protects against potential flooding if the pump station is in a low area
  • Components are register fitted to prevent misalignment

Aurora’s standard non-labeled production pumps comply with performance requirements for the fire pump service.  For you, this means:

  • Lower initial cost
  • Quicker delivery from stock
  • Parts interchangeability with Aurora pumps specified elsewhere in your building to reduce spare parts inventory and simplify maintenance

Aurora vertical inline close-coupled fire pumps are specifically designed for vertical mounting. The suction and discharge nozzles are located on the same centerline 180° apart.

Vertical pumps significantly reduce required mounting space and are easy to maintain:

  • By simply removing the eight cap screws, the motor and bracket assembly is easily removed from the casing without disturbing the piping.
  • The impeller is direct-coupled to the motor shaft for easy maintenance, minimizing impeller run out and reducing noise.

The inline casing is heavily ribbed to resist pipe strain and is provided with a support to simplify mounting to a base or foundation. Packing is provided when suction pressure is greater than 30 PSIP; packing with lantern ring and flush line is furnished for suction pressures of 30 PSIG or less. Computer-machined major components with 360° registered fits assure parts concentricity.
