Warranty: Manufacturer’s Warranty
The Tsurumi LB-480 is a single-phase manual submersible portable drainage pump built for dewatering in tight or confined spaces, slim enough to fit inside an 8-inch pipe. Its top discharge flow-thru design provides maximum motor cooling for continuous operation at low water levels and extended dry-run capability. 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.

- 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
