EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The HP Series Portable Pump line
provides emergency services personnel
around the world with portable pumps
to fulfill many types of in-service
applications. The pumps are available
in configurations providing a wide range
of pressures and flows to suit user
requirements in a lightweight portable
unit.
The pumps are available as four
separate models, the Model HP100
Attack Pump, Model HP200
Combination Pump, Model HP300
Supply Pump and Model HP400 Transfer
Pump. The HP100 Attack Pump Is rated
to supply water at flows and pressures
that are suitable for extinguishing fires.
The HP200 Combination Pump is a dual
purpose pump that provides the
capability to attack fires and/or supply
water from an emergency water source.
The HP300 Supply Pump is used to supply
water from an emergency water source.
The HP400 Transfer Pump is a high
volume pump that is suitable for
transferring large volumes of water at
low pressures.
A standard feature of each pump
configuration includes pump ends
made of strong corrosion resistant
aluminum alloy held together with a
8
stainless steel clamp. The pump engine
is air cooled and the portable models
are enclosed with high strength
thermoplastic covers that ensure a
clean appearance and quiet operation.
The aluminum parts of the discharge
valves are treated with a hard anodizing
process to increase corrosion resistance
and durability. The molded plastic fuel
tank is an integral part of the pump
base therefore there is only one item to
carry, other than the required suction
and discharge hoses, when the pump is
to be placed into service. An aluminum
skid plate on the bottom of the pump
assembly provides extra puncture
protection for the fuel tank.
In addition to the standard portable HP
series pumps an "X" model, without the
plastic covers, carrying handles or sub-
frame, is available that can be
permanently mounted to the apparatus
frame.
Also available is the "I" model, which has
no plastic covers or subframe. The
pump and engine are mounted to a
steel skid base which can easily be fitted
to optional carrying handles. The pump
can also be permanently mounted and
comes complete with a remote 3 gal
(12 liter) fuel tank.
