Johnson 'FB-5001'

FB-5001 Heavy Duty Clutch Pumps
A series of heavy duty electro-magnetic clutch pumps, comprising two different sizes.

Flexible impeller pumps provide an efficient solution to most raw water pumping needs. The pumps are self-priming and can pass fairly large solids without clogging or damaging the pumps. Designed for a number of applications on board.

With an electro-magnetic clutch you will have pumping power whenever needed, at a push of a button, without being at the pump. Combined with a vacuum switch from Johnson Pump (recommended for bilge pump application), the clutch will automatically disengage whenever the pump starts priming air, thereby preventing dry running and pump damage.

Automatically controlled pumps are available in sizes from 1" to 2.1/2" (20 L/min to 625 L/min), with clutches in 12 or 24 volts. Wearing parts are easily replaceable and service kits are available for all standard models. Vacuum Switch as extra accessory.
