Applications

  • Jockey pump in fire suppression systems – for larger fire suppression systems with higher flow rates.
  • Medium-sized pressure boosting stations – apartment complexes, commercial buildings.
  • Auxiliary pump – in industrial circulation circuits.
  • Irrigation systems – medium capacity for agriculture and public green spaces.

Main benefits

  • Flow rate up to 26 m³/h – almost double that of the VAT 127 L.
  • 2" connection – higher flow-rate class.
  • 8 configurations – from L-2 (3 kW) to L-9 (9,3 kW).
  • Counter-flanges included.
  • 400/690 V on higher variants – industrial power supply.

Optional accessories
