YP30G Water Pump

Stepping up to a 3-inch discharge port, the YP30G runs the same 171cc OHV 4-stroke engine family found in this maker's smaller general-purpose pump, but reaches a rated 259 gallons per minute, or 15,540 gallons per hour, through the wider opening. It's built for clean-water jobs that need higher volume than a narrower port allows. What the wider port changes Total head climbs to 102 feet on this model, a meaningful jump in pushing power over a 2-inch pump, while the suction rating holds at 26 feet for how far below the pump the water source can sit. Because the port is 3 inches rather than 2, hoses need to be sized to match before you connect them. Why cast iron and ceramic seals matter The impeller and volute case are cast iron, chosen to resist wear from the grit, sand, and silt that general pumping jobs often pull in, rather than a lighter metal that wears faster. Carbon-ceramic mechanical seals are built to hold up in regular service while remaining easy to replace once they do wear out. Common questions Does this handle debris or solids? No, this is the general-purpose model, built for clean water rather than debris-laden runoff. What hose size does it need? 3-inch, matching its NPT-threaded discharge port. Is the seal the same as the smaller-port version? Yes, both use a carbon-ceramic design, serviceable rather than sealed for life.
