MARK-3® V2 HIGH-PRESS FIRE PUMP 4-STG
Model includes suction thread protector, forged ULC quick connect discharge adapter, and discharge cap.
Since 1964 when the MARK-3® was first introduced by WAJAX, after the 4-stage detachable pump end was patented in 1958, it has been the standard wildland portable fire pump used by forestry agencies around the world. A truly outstanding and reliable performer, the MARK-3® fire pump is designed to withstand the rigors of firefighting and it is the core of most water delivery systems in wildland operations.
Always the benchmark in terms of performance, reliability and durability, the MARK-3® benefited from a series of improvements to its key components namely a Nikasil-coated cylinder, an impregnated crankcase and a maintenance-free pump end.
The new Nikasil Coated Cylinder is the most significant upgrade on the MARK-3® in years. In addition, WATERAX has adjusted its recommended fuel mix ratio to 50:1 synthetic. Please note that the change to the synthetic 50:1 fuel mix ratio is also valid for older MARK-3® equipped with cast iron sleeve cylinders.
The improved MARK-3® successfully passed the USDA Forest Service 100 hours endurance test in San Dimas on 08/04/15 and has been requalified under QPL Number 274-001.
MARK-3® meets or exceeds USDA Forest Service SPECIFICATION 5100-274E.Exempt from emission standards under 40 CFR 1054.660 NSN 4320-00-890-5879
Frequently bought together
DETACHABLE MULTI-STAGE PUMP ENDS
WATERAX performance and dependability come from our superior multi-stage pump end design that provides unrivaled pressure and volume. Unique blister resistant mechanical rotary seal to prolong pump end longevity. Maintenance free sealed bearing to avoid the need for greasing the pump end in the field. Anodized aluminum impellers and pump body which eliminate galvanic corrosion common with bronze impellers.
LOW MAINTENANCE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Originally designed for the BB-4®, the WATERAX low maintenance drive assembly has been time-tested under the most difficult conditions and proven to be dependable and reliable for more than 40 years.
INNOVATIVE QUICK-RELEASE CLAMP
Our innovative pump end quick-release clamp provides ease of maintenance without having to disassemble the complete unit, thus significantly reducing equipment downtime, which can prove crucial in emergency situations.
CONVENIENT 2-IN-1 SYSTEM
The WATERAX 2-in-1 system enables the easy interchanging of pump ends in the field. The platform is also compatible with either a high-pressure or a mid-range pump end, providing users with maximal performance flexibility at the lowest possible cost.
Use Cases
WATERAX has a 125-year track record conceiving and manufacturing industry-leading water pumps and innovative water-moving solutions designed to withstand demanding use and the rugged environments in which they are operated.
FireProtection
Wildland fire prevention and protection is an everyday action to prevent potential destruction and reduce the impact of uncontrolled fires.
FireApparatus
Fire agencies need versatile, rugged and portable equipment for wildland and wildland-urban interface (WUI) applications to transport firefighters, hoses, pumps, fittings, water and all other related equipment. Due to the remote locations of wildland fires, getting to sites generally requires four-wheel drive and off-road capabilities.
WATERAX provides centrifugal fire pump models for type 4, 5, 6 and 7 wildland engines. To complement our high-pressure fire pumps, WATERAX offers a wide selection of components, such as control panels and manifolds, tailored to the needs of fire apparatus manufacturers who create brush trucks, skid unit slip-ons, trailers and sprinkler systems.
Commercial
WATERAX portable pumps are widely used for wildland fire protection but they are also used in farm fields, oil fields, construction sites, marinas, golf courses and even to make ice bridges and snow.
To be efficient, a power pump must be lightweight, capable of generating high pressure and, most of all, reliable. WATERAX pumps are single- or multi-stage centrifugal pumps. This system allows for pumping from natural water sources (lakes, streams, rivers, pools, etc.) which often contain minor debris. Centrifugal systems also allow for tandem pumping and are able to pump water over large distances and points of elevation.
