Technical Requirements to Confirm

Before requesting a fire pump quotation, having the following confirmed speeds up an accurate response:

  • Required flow rate and pressure (from your hydraulic calculations)

  • Driver preference (electric or diesel) and available power supply

  • Preferred pump configuration, if your engineer has specified one

  • Controller type and any automatic transfer/redundancy requirements

  • The code or standard your project follows

  • Any preferred or approved brands

Site and Project Context

It also helps to share your project type and location, since site conditions (available power reliability, ambient temperature, altitude) can affect the right configuration.

Important Note

If you're unsure about any of these, our procurement team can work through your requirements with you before finalizing a quotation — you don't need every answer before reaching out.
