Fire pumps are often considered to be the most critical component of a water-based fire protection system because without an adequate pump, water-based systems can be rendered ineffectual. When fires occur in expansive environments that contain high-risk hazards, it can be catastrophic to discover that a fire pump is not performing optimally, isn’t adequate for the task or that additional mobile pumps could have been utilized to flow big water but were not readily available.
South Coast Fire and Safety understands the importance of quality control (QC). QC must be adhered to throughout the design, manufacturing, testing, shipment, installation, and commissioning of fire fighting pumps to ensure firewater pumping systems meet the NFPA Fire Codes provided to protect your facility and for legal compliance.
Booster Pump House Unit
To match the specific requirements of any application, engineering teams can design fully pre-packaged units with environmental enclosures. The system is delivered on a single shipment, leaving only pipe and power connections to be completed on site.
Fire pump rooms and separate pump houses containing fire pump equipment require special protection requirements and features per NFPA 20:
PowerFlows HPX300-B18 22 different options
When you need to move a lot of water, you need a high-quality pump that is engineered to perform. Hale’s range of high flow pumps give you the capacity you need. Whether your application is for low pressure firefighting, water transfer or dewatering, there is a Hale high flow pump for you. Hale has a long heritage of designing and manufacturing high performance fire pumps, so you can trust Hale to deliver the performance you demand.

Largest NFPA Compliant Fire Pump Ever Built
The USFP High Velocity Pump (HVP) is an engine driven fire pump designed to meet NFPA 1901 performances up to 6,250 GPM from draft and more. With sufficient engine
power and a pressurized water system, performance will exceed 10,000 GPM.
The key to this fire pump design is optimized flow through layout, which maximizes the pumps performance from pressurized water systems with capabilities of over 10,000 GPM. Part of this high flow design includes a 12” flanged suction inlet feeding an impeller eye, which exceeds 10” in diameter with a discharge outlet of 8” for the 5,500 GPM unit and 10” for the 6,250 GPM unit.
An important option designed into this pump is an auxiliary drive output to power SAE C/D hydraulic systems used to drive large foam systems or a flanged output to
drive air compressors. Additional design features include optional bronze pump construction, Teflon ring mechanical seal backup, and quite helical gear transmission.
