Dry Riser Test Pump

Following a special customer request, and some subsequent design tweaks, we are now able to offer this DRY RISER TEST PUMP SET.

The set uses the Grundfos CRi1-23, a single-phase 230v vertical multistage pump, just 1.1kw yet capable of producing up to 14 bar pressure – more than enough to satisfy 12 bar pressure/leak testing.

In brief, this design offers the following advantages over commonly used solutions…

• 230v pump can be run from maintenance vehicles using a power inverter
• Pressure switch ensures pump runs only to your pre-determined set pressure, cutting in again only if required
• No need to carry, manoeuvre and start (or try to!) heavy petrol-driven pumps
• No need to carry a separate and risky flammable fuel supply
• Virtually no noise compared to running and revving petrol-driven pumps
• Pump set can be fed by vehicle-mounted water tank or external supply
• No need to remove pump set from vehicle to carry out testing routines
• Test sequence can become a one-person task instead of multi-person
• Increased reliability and easy maintenance using off-the-shelf parts familiar to most fire sprinkler engineers
• 1” and 2” outlets allowing feed into 1” drain or 2” push-on fitting, whichever is preferred or available
• Additional and/or different valves can be fitted during or after manufacturer to suit customers’ preferences

…and we’re sure there are more!
