Rated flow and pressure
Send the required duty point and units. Select the model and bowl arrangement against the matching curve, rather than combining general series maximum values.
Vertical turbine fire pumps
Electric and diesel configurations matched to your fire-water project.
WY workshop reference Vertical turbine pump assembly.
Match the pump setting to the water source
The column connects the above-ground discharge head and driver to the bowl assembly below the water level. Confirm the setting and required submergence for the selected pump and intake.
Lowest pumping water level
Provide available water-supply information and the static and lowest pumping levels. Water-level variation and intake conditions affect the proposed arrangement.
Well, tank or intake geometry
Share the opening, internal dimensions, depth and any existing installation drawing. Coordinate the column, discharge connection and supporting foundation.
Access for installation and service
Review lifting access, overhead clearance and the route for removing pump sections with the site layout.
Three drive configurations
VHS motor
Vertical hollow-shaft motor arrangement. The construction example below shows the top adjustment hardware.
Confirm motor supply, thrust support and pump-setting interfaces.
VSS motor
Vertical solid-shaft motor arrangement.
Coordinate the coupling, thrust support and discharge-head interfaces for the selected unit.
Diesel drive
Engine with right-angle transmission to the vertical pump shaft.
Review matching speed, starting, cooling, fuel and exhaust interfaces.
Review the construction and interfaces
- Bowl assembly
- Match the bowl and impeller arrangement to the required duty and installation conditions.
- Column and shafting
- Review the pump setting, section arrangement, shaft and bearing construction against the water quality and selected design.
- Discharge head and driver
- Coordinate discharge orientation, mounting, driver connection and maintenance access.
Construction reference for the illustrated VHS arrangement. The project layout and installation dimensions are confirmed separately.
Confirm the model and project documents
Send the project destination and specified approval criteria, including any UL/FM, NFPA 20 or local requirements.
Before ordering, confirm the exact pump model, driver and controller configuration, selected curve, and whether the required approval and supporting documents can be provided.
Duty review: selected model curve and the project's required performance and acceptance points.
Installation review: setting, external dimensions, discharge and mounting interfaces.
Supply review: pump, driver and any controller, jockey pump, valves, piping or auxiliaries to be included.
Inspection review: agreed inspection scope, records and required documents.
Why work with WY?
WY pump manufacturing · machining area
Engineering and interface coordination
WY's service process covers duty matching, technical comparison and coordination with the project system before manufacture.
Order-specific inspection records
Agree the checks and records required for the selected equipment. WY's service process includes inspection reports with data and photographs for order review.
Installation and parts support
Discuss installation guidance, remote troubleshooting and spare-parts identification. Confirm site-service scope and responsibilities with the quotation.
Send your duty and water-source information
Start with the information already available:
- Rated flow and pressure, with units
- Water levels, intake or well/tank dimensions
- Preferred drive and available power or engine requirements
- Destination, approval criteria and required documents
A site sketch or existing drawing can help WY review the setting and equipment interfaces.

What should we send for a replacement review?
Send pump and driver nameplates, existing duty and performance documents, pump-setting dimensions, connection details and site photographs. Include the current project's approval requirements so the proposed replacement can be reviewed against the actual installation.
