The Orange Pumps UP500 petrol engine drive utility pump has been developed to combine high pressure, high volume and excellent self priming. The pump was developed in Melbourne over many years by an experienced team of engineers for fighting fires and other water transfer applications.
Engine: Honda GP160
Self priming quickly is critical for fire fighting applications. The UP range of pumps use a single impeller which out performs twin impeller units when priming. The UP range can prime in under 1 minute with a 3½ metre vertical lift, which is five times quicker than the industry average and even higher for twin impeller pumps.
The impeller is constructed from a single piece of cast aluminium which is far stronger and more reliable than impellers that are glued, bolted or riveted together. Each impeller has been balanced and tested to reduce wear and tear on the engine bearings caused by shaft movement from non-concentric forces. The impeller features a self clearing, wide vane for small solids handling.
The Utility Pump can be used in Deep Well applications by connecting the smaller pressure pipe going down the bore to one of the discharge ports on the flange. A DC79-20 or DC54-20 deep well kit is recommended depending on the depth.
