Space-Saving Solution for Modern Fire Protection Systems
Overview
The In-Line Centrifugal Fire Pump is designed with suction and discharge nozzles positioned on the same centerline, allowing direct installation into the pipeline system. This configuration helps save valuable space and optimize overall system layout.
This pump type is commonly used in fire protection systems where pump room space is limited, while still requiring compliance with international standards such as UL/FM and NFPA 20.
