01
Hydraulic duty
Flow rate, head or pressure, suction condition and duty/standby arrangement. If the project has a curve or schedule, attach it.
Technical buying guide
How to specify a fire pump package without guessing.
A fire pump is a project system, not a horsepower-only purchase. Use this checklist to make the first quotation comparable and to expose missing information early.
The five inputs
What a serious quotation needs.
02
Driver and power
Electric motor or diesel engine, voltage, phase, frequency, starting method and local electrical constraints.
03
Package scope
Pump, controller, base, valves, gauges, accessories, test arrangement and any required installation interface.
04
Approval path
Project standard, AHJ or authority expectation, and whether UL, FM, NFPA or another model-specific document is required.
05
Commercial route
Destination, quantity, Incoterm, delivery window, local commissioning responsibility and spare-parts expectation.
Document pack
What to request before approval.
A catalogue starts a conversation; it does not prove that the quoted configuration satisfies a project. Request the exact model evidence.
| Technical | Datasheet, performance curve, dimensions, connection details and driver information |
|---|---|
| Quality | Inspection or factory test records where required by the purchase scope |
| Compliance | Model-specific certificate, listing or declaration and its covered variant |
| Execution | Packaging, lead time, installation boundary, commissioning plan, warranty and spare-parts terms |
Ready to qualify
Send the duty point first.
A nameplate photo, project schedule or pump-room drawing is often enough to identify the next question.
