Frequently asked questions
Common questions about IPT PUMPS from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between IPT Pumps engine-driven water pumps and trash pumps?
IPT Pumps engine-driven water pumps are configured for relatively clean water transfer, with flow rates from 176 gpm to 330 gpm at 20 feet of head and port sizes from 2-inch to 3-inch. Trash pumps use cast-iron volutes and are built to pass solids-laden water, with 2-inch and 3-inch MNPT ports and flow rates from 220 gpm to 350 gpm at 20 feet of head. Trash pump kits often include a strainer or roll frame. Selection depends on the solids content and debris size in the fluid being pumped.
What engine sizes are available in the IPT Pumps line?
IPT Pumps engine-driven models are offered with 5 hp, 8 hp, and 13 hp recoil-start engines. The 5 hp units appear in standard water pumps, trash pumps, and high-pressure models. The 8 hp configuration is used on larger water and trash pumps, including models with Honda engines. The 13 hp engine is used on high-pressure centrifugal models such as the 2MP13HR. All listed models use recoil-start ignition.
What is the maximum head for IPT Pumps high-pressure engine-driven water pumps?
IPT Pumps high-pressure engine-driven water pumps are centrifugal models with cast-iron volutes and 2-inch MNPT connections. The 5 hp model 2P5XHR is rated to a maximum head of 215 feet and handles solids up to 1/16 inch in diameter. The 13 hp model 2MP13HR is also a centrifugal high-pressure unit with a cast-iron volute and roll frame kit. These pumps are used where higher discharge pressure is required than standard water pump models provide.
What kit components ship with IPT Pumps engine-driven pumps?
Kit components vary by model. Standard water pumps may include a carry handle or heavy-duty steel roll frame. Trash pumps typically include a roll frame for transport, and some models include a strainer. High-pressure models such as the 2MP5HR include a strainer, while the 2MP13HR includes a roll frame kit. The specific kit contents are listed on each product page and should be confirmed at the time of order.
What port sizes and connection types are used on IPT Pumps engine-driven pumps?
IPT Pumps engine-driven pumps use FNPT and MNPT connections depending on the model. Standard water pumps are available with 2-inch FNPT or 3-inch FNPT and MNPT ports. Trash pumps use 2-inch or 3-inch MNPT inlet and outlet connections. High-pressure models use 2-inch MNPT inlet and outlet, with some models specifying a 1 1/2-inch MNPT outlet. Confirm the exact connection type and size against the model number before specifying piping or hose assemblies.
How does 3G Electric support IPT Pumps orders?
3G Electric supplies the IPT Pumps line with international logistics support, quotation services, and model selection assistance for procurement and maintenance teams. The catalog includes engine-driven water pumps, trash pumps, and high-pressure models across 5 hp, 8 hp, and 13 hp configurations. Buyers can request spec sheets, confirm kit components, and verify port sizes and flow rates before ordering. 3G Electric ships globally and works with standard commercial terms for industrial equipment purchases.
