They process up to 9,510 gallons per minute
with as large as a 285-horsepower engine and
models that reach a maximum head of 500 feet.
Available in various sizes - 3 inches to 12 inches -
the pumps handle solids up to 3.5 inches while moving fluids. Their durable and compact design allows
for easy transportation via trailer mounts that come
standard. Sound-proof models are also available.
" The Appalachian Pumps are the type of pump
our customers in dewatering can get excited about, "
said Tim Sawyer, product engineer team manager
at DAE Pumps. " They are powerful and reliable
pumps that can move liquids quickly while easily
handling the additional material that traditionally
clogs and destroys other pumps. "

The company also introduced BonDuit, a
UL-recognized component for creating strong
bonds with HDPE conduit, indoors or outdoors.
It complies with the requirements of Polymeric
Materials for use in Electrical Equipment. BonDuit is
tested under CCN QOQW2 using UL Method 746A.
This product offers a superior, easy-to-apply
alternative to joining polyethylene duct (PE pipe)
to PVC, fiberglass, and metal conduits using mechanical couplings. The rapid-cure, two-part resin
adhesive forms a strong water- and air-tight seal
and helps meet the NEC 353 code for transitioning
aboveground and to PVC or galvanized rigid steel.
An XL version provides an excellent option for
3-inch (75 mm) conduits and larger and allows a
longer work time.
All adhesive kit types deliver a durable bond that
can withstand movement and vibration and are ideal for installation along roadsides or near electrical
equipment like transformers or switchgear.
