Johnson 'FB-3000 Series'

FB-3000 series Multipurpose Compact Extra Heavy Duty Bronze Impeller Pumps
Whenever you need greater strength or service from a pump, use the Johnson Pump extra heavy duty flexible impeller pump with separate bearing housing and mechanical seal for less wear and longer life.

The FB-3000 series are suitable for applications such as engine cooling, bilge pumping, wash-down, emptying holding tanks, refuelling, emergency and fire fighting pumps.

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.
