Product Details

Vertical turbine fire pump from TPMC delivers robust, high-head water supply from deep wells, rivers, reservoirs, and sumps. Designed for applications where the water source is located below the pump, these multistage units feature a submerged bowl assembly driven by a long vertical shaft. Each additional stage increases discharge head, enabling customized pressure for tall buildings or extensive fire protection networks. The vertical design minimizes footprint while providing reliable flooded-suction operation without priming.
