Product Overview
With an integrated structural baseplate and full manifolding, the Davey Monsoon Light vertical multistage booster package provides a clean plant room installation. Equipped with a vertical multistage pump assembly, the unit sustains line pressure stability across demanding plumbing lines. This packaged assembly supplies an integrated booster solution to prevent pressure dropouts across elevated risers.
Meeting strict hydraulic engineering criteria, maximum line delivery attains 73 L/min. Across elevated vertical distribution lines, the multistage hydraulic wet end generates up to 126 metres of maximum shut-off head to overcome static elevation losses. Internal impellers and intermediate stage diffusers are manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel to maintain fluid purity and hydraulic efficiency. A hard-faced mechanical seal and reinforced casing construction support operating system pressures up to 25 bar (2,500 kPa PN25).
Mechanical drive is supplied by an electric motor built to sustain continuous commercial loads. Speed regulation is governed by an integrated variable frequency drive controller, continuously matching motor speed to instantaneous draw to stabilize pipeline pressure. The electrical package connects to a 415V supply at 50 Hz drawing a rated current of 4.3 Amps. Pre-plumbed hydraulic connections feature standardized 1-1/4" BSP ports, rated for clean liquid operating temperatures from 0°C to 40°C.
Built for demanding commercial environments, the system features a solid structural steel chassis. Integrated elastomeric mounts isolate pump vibrations, protecting connected distribution pipework from mechanical stress and acoustic transmission. Engineered and assembled to meet demanding Australasian commercial plumbing standards, the system benefits from comprehensive Davey technical support and readily available nationwide spare parts.
