Warranty: Manufacturer’s Warranty
The Tsurumi LB-480A is a single-phase automatic submersible portable drainage pump featuring an electrode-type relay unit that starts and stops the pump based on water level, eliminating dry-run risk and reducing power consumption by up to 40%. Its slim profile fits inside an 8-inch pipe, making it ideal for confined spaces, while the top discharge flow-thru design provides maximum motor cooling for continuous operation at low water levels. The pump includes dual inside mechanical seals with silicon carbide faces, an Oil Lifter for enhanced seal lubrication, an anti-wicking cable entry, and a miniature thermal protector (MTP) for overheat protection. This Australian version is rated for 50Hz operation (240V supply) and is well-suited for foundation work, flood response, and general site drainage across Australia and other 50Hz regions.
Suitable Applications
- Foundation dewatering on construction and civil works sites
- Floodwater drainage and emergency water removal
- General site drainage in residential, commercial, and industrial settings
- Site dewatering via narrow shafts or pipe-accessed locations
- Sediment removal from sumps and basins
