Abstract
Single suction centrifugal pumps, pump casings, pump systems and vehicles for using pumps which include a single piece casing having a first cut-water fluid flow path, a first discharge nozzle, and a second discharge nozzle, the first cut-water fluid flow path communicating with the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle and the nozzles being situated at opposing ends of the pump such that center outputs of the nozzles are offset from a horizontal centerline of the casing and the first nozzle is positioned a greater distance from a lower casing wall of the pump as compared to the second nozzle so that the casing may be connected to output piping for both sides of the vehicle and at a low profile within the vehicle.
