Fire Pumps

Before ordering a fire pump, consult FM Approvals regarding size, type of driver, suction supplies and location. Proposals for fire
pump installations, including plans showing location and piping connections, should be sent to FM Global for review before the order
is placed. Give the manufacturer complete data, including rated capacity, net head and suction head. Contracts for pump installations
or changes should be let subsequent to acceptance of plans and subject to satisfactory field tests by FM Global.
The pump manufacturer or his authorized representative is responsible for furnishing a complete unit consisting of pump, driver and
necessary accessories, all according to FM Global's standards.
Satisfactory performance in an operating test after installation should be guaranteed. A new fire pump installation is not acceptable
until FM Global has witnessed a satisfactory field acceptance test. This will include a test of endurance of the pump and reliability of
the power supply.
Exact horsepower requirements for each pump must be determined by a shop test on the specific pump. Approximate horsepower
requirements at rated pump conditions are as follows:

Rated Rated
Capacity, Net Approximate
gal/min Head, Power
(dm3 psi Required,
/min) (kPa) hp (kW)
500 100 50-60

2500 100 150-200

(9465) (690) (112-149)

In the listings on the following page, rated net head represents the amount of pressure boost obtainable from a pump of a given type
and impeller size when operating at rated speed.
The rated net head range indicates that impellers of various diameters are obtainable for the given type of pump.
Although not recommended for installations where suction is normally taken under lift, FM Approved pumps have been tested for
proper operation under negative suction conditions up to 15 ft (5 m) at 150% of rated capacity.

Centrifugal Fire Pumps, Horizontal End-Suction Type

FM Approved horizontal end-suction fire pumps must be of the "back-pullout" design and be driven through a spacer coupling. That
is, it must be possible to replace the rotating assembly of an installed pump without disturbing suction and discharge piping or the
driver. These pumps feature a horizontal suction connection opposite the driver end and a vertical, centerline discharge connection.
