Waterous' advanced engineering capabilities result in quality water pumps that are thoroughly tested to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and special contract provisions for industrial firefighting applications. With performance ratings up to 2250 GPM (8550 L/min.), the CMU pump offers flexibility that you won't find in other brands of fire pumps. A powerful tool used to knock down the most dangerous fires, the CMU vehicle-mounted pump is also highly effective for use in pigging and irrigation applications.
Low Maintenance
The power behind a CMU fire pump can be repaired and back in service faster than apparatus equipped with other brands of vehicle-mounted pumps. The CMU pump supplies complete confidence for operators and maintenance technicians alike.
Options and Accessories
CMU water pumps come with a variety of transmission options to fit the needs of your fire department, and this vehicle-mounted, midship water pump interfaces well with numerous options and accessories including discharge relief valves and intake relief valves. If properly equipped, CMU pumps can also pump foam and compressed air foam solution.
Specifications
Two-stage series/parallel pump with ratings of 1500, 1750, 2000 and 2250 GPM @ 150 PSI (5700, 6625, 7570 and 8550 L/min @ 10.3 bar).
High-tensile, gray iron (bronze optional), two-piece, horizontally-split pump casing.
Matched bronze flame-plated precision-balanced impellers with flame-plated hubs.
Two-piece, stainless steel, heat treated, machined and ground impeller shaft allows separation of the pump from the transmission for ease of servicing.
Flinger rings are mounted on the impeller to keep debris out of bearings.
Priming System: An electric, oil-free rotary vane primer mounted directly on a Waterous split-shaft pump transmission or separately mounted combined with a Waterous priming valve forms the priming system. A lubrication option allows the use of Prime-Safe lubricant (priming tank is required when the lubrication option is selected).
Pressure Control System: The Waterous Intake Relief Valve system is designed to act as a safety valve by "dumping" excess pressure from the inlet side of the pump. The Discharge Relief Valve provides sensitive pump control to protect firefighters from sudden pressure surges resulting from changes in discharge flows from the pump.
Manifold Drain Valve: Drains all points of the pump simultaneously with the operation of a single control.
H-Manifold Discharge Fitting: Allows for efficient and easy installation of a Waterous pump and significantly improves manufacturing process throughput. Flexible design enables OEM's to easily adapt to customers' needs with a wide range of discharge openings. The H-manifold discharge arrangement creates panel dimensions that accommodate remote locking and quarter-turn valves.
Corrosion Protection: Replaceable zinc element that is installed directly on the pump intake piping and into the pump waterway. These anodes sacrifice the zinc element to galvanic corrosion.
Discharge Valves: Your choice of the trusted Waterous 1⁄4 turn 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch rack and sector push-pull, worm gear and electric discharge valves. All come standard with chrome-plated brass ball and hydraulically balanced seal assembly.
Overheat Protection Manager: The OPM consists of an illuminated warning light on the operator's panel whenever the pump approaches an overheat condition. Optional audible alarm is available.
Foam Manager: Consisting of a 500 or 1000 GPM foam manifold and foam proportioner.
Power Shift: Pneumatic shift allows operator to shift from ROAD to PUMP position by actuating a valve.
Tank to Pump Valve: A full-flow 3.5-inch diameter ball valve, which is attached directly to the pump.
Tachometer: Tachometer drive standard and operates at 1/2 input shaft speed.
Electric Transfer Valve Actuator: An electric transfer valve provides smooth transfer to either PRESSURE or VOLUME.
