Millions count on Patterson for their unparalleled knowledge andexpertise in developing quality fire pumps and pumping systems that perform reliably when neededin office buildings, schools, dormitories, industrial sites, high-density residential areas, manufacturingplants and commercial sites.All Patterson Fire Pumps and accessories are engineered to meet, or exceed, all applicable codes,including: UL and ULC listings, FM and NYBSA approvals, NFPA, VdS, LPCB, CNBOP and CE certificationsworldwide and all NFPA-20 standards.

Horizontal Split Case Fire PumpsIdeal for both high and low pressurepumping requirements.Patterson Horizontal Split Case Fire Pumps areengineered for reliable operation upon demand.Patterson sweats the details. All fabricatedparts are standardized and accuratelymachined for true alignment, increasingoverall durability. Precision balancing of allrotating components provides mechanicaldependability, reliable operation and minimalmaintenance. Impellers are constructed withdouble inlets that practically eliminate endthrust while boosting operating efficiency.The simple, split case design of these pumpsallows for in-line service without disturbingpiping while ensuring long, efficient unit life,reduced maintenance costs and minimalpower consumption.These pumps are designed to operate withpressures in excess of 390 psi (27 bar) andflows from 150 gpm to 5,000 gpm (568litres/min to 18,925 litres/min).Split-case design allows for in-line service.Whether your fire pump application requiresan electric motor, a diesel engine or vertical orhorizontal orientation, these industry-approvedpumps can be configured to meet yourspecific needs.Typical LPCB diesel unit.4

High Pressure Two-Stage DMD Fire PumpsEngineered for rugged, reliable service when spaceis at a premium.High Pressure Two-Stage Fire Pumps areengineered to produce as much head as twosingle-stage pumps in series but in a muchmore compact size. Heavily built, they are highlydependable and have every mechanical featureto assure long life.Design highlights include dual single-inlet,enclosed impellers, mounted back-to-back, andan interconnecting passage between stages.Bronze or bronze-bushed interstage piecesguard against wear.Sizes range from 3-in. to 6-in. (7.6-cm to 15.2-cm)discharge for capacities to 1,000 gpm (3,785litres/min) and heads to 1,150 ft (351 m).High Pressure Two-Stage DMD Fire Pump.Dynamically balancedimpellers are mountedback-to-backReplaceable packing boxbushing protects casingfrom packing wearDeflectors preventwater from enteringbearing housingsHeavy-duty ball bearingsmounted in dust-proofcartridges protect thebearings when rotor isremoved from the casePre-drilled and tappedpacking box drippockets for removal ofpacking box leakage6

V.I.P. Vertical In-Line Fire PumpsCompact, self-contained design for easyadaptability to new or existing applications.Patterson’s V.I.P. series of Vertical In-LineFire Pumps offer a simple alternativeto horizontal split case pumps in fireapplications with lower flow ranges. Theirunique design also minimizes energyconsumption while lengthening service life.These fire pumps are easy to install intoexisting pipe lines. With the inlet and outleton a common center line, only standardpiping supports on either side of the pumpare needed. This eliminates the need forcostly foundations or pads.The precision-cast impeller is dynamicallybalanced for smooth operation, and it isenclosed for optimum performance and longservice life. Balance holes on the back sideof the impeller reduce thrust with hydraulicbalancing of the pressures.Designed for durability, every pump hasstandard packing and a two-piece gland.Coupled to V.I.P.’s standard JP/JM motor,this quality, integral drive system featuresV.I.P. Vertical In-Line Series Fire Pump.uniformity of tolerances, minimum shaftdeflection and bearings sized properly forthe job.An integral clean-out port on the suctionside enables cleaning without having toremove the driver, eliminating the need for aNFPA 6.3.4.1 Pipeline Strainer.With pressure ratings from 40 psi to 150psi (3 bar to 10 bar), Patterson’s V.I.P.Vertical In-Line Fire Pumps deliver flowranges of 50 gpm to 1,250 gpm (189 litres/min to 4,731 litres/min).Balance holes onthe back side ofthe impeller reducethrust with hydraulicpressure balancingThe precisioncastimpelleris dynamicallybalanced forsmooth operationEnclosedimpeller designensures optimalperformanceand service lifeIntegral clean-outport on suction sideenables cleaningwithout having toremove the driver,eliminating needfor NFPA 6.3.4.1Pipeline Strainer7

Vertical Turbine Fire PumpsFlexible staging enables capacityrequirements in minimum floor space.Among the most versatile pumps inPatterson’s arsenal, the Vertical TurbineFire Pump stands on Patterson’s morethan 50 years of vertical pump expertise.Employing the latest design concepts andengineering technology, these pumps areideal for fire fighting.They can be staged as needed to meetspecific pressure requirements, withlengths and construction adaptable tothe application. And their space-savingvertical design minimizes floor spacerequirements. Standard construction offerscast iron discharge heads with a fabricatedsteel column, stainless steel head andbowl shafts, or alloy steel line shaft andcast iron bronze fitted bowls. Open lineshaft construction is standard; specialmetallurgies are available.No priming is necessary to provide flowsfrom 500 gpm to 5,000 gpm (1,892 litres/min to 18,925 litres/min), with pressuresin excess of 350 psi (24 bar).Sealed, greasedpacked suctionbell bearing anddurable flutedrubber lineshaft bearingsHeavy-dutypacking boxdesign with easilyremoved bronzepacking glandBowls includestandard bronzewear ringsFlanged columnassembly aidsservicing; bronzespider bearingsupports atintermediatecolumn joints8Vertical Turbine Fire Pump.

End Suction Fire PumpsDeliver Patterson performance andreliability to new or existing installations.Choose from two configurations—framemounted and close-coupled, which canbe flanged or threaded. These pumps areengineered to last with a precision-cast,dynamically balanced and enclosed impellerthat minimizes vibration and maximizesbearing life. Engineered for lasting integritywith standard packing and a shaft sleeve,each unit is hydrostatically pressure-testedto 1-1/2 times shutoff before shipping.Removing the rotating element withoutdisturbing suction and discharge connectionsis easy because of our unique, back pulloutdesign. Registered fits at the volute andvolute cover maintain pump alignment.Featuring pressure ratings from 40 psi to 150psi (3 bar to 10 bar), Patterson’s End SuctionFire Pumps are available in flow ranges of 50gpm to 750 gpm (189 litres/min to 2,835litres/min).End Suction Fire Pump.Balance holes onthe back side ofthe impeller reducethrust with hydraulicpressure balancingThe precision-castimpeller is dynamicallybalanced forsmooth operationFPOEnclosed impellerdesign ensuresoptimal performanceand service life9
