Kmax Gasoline water pump 3″

The Kmax 3-inch gasoline (petrol) water pump is a powerful and popular choice in Kenya for heavy-duty water transfer applications. It’s well-suited for large-scale irrigation, dewatering construction sites, managing floods, and rapidly moving significant volumes of water.

Key Features and Specifications (Typical for 3-inch Kmax models):

• Engine: Usually features a robust 4-stroke gasoline engine, commonly around 7.0 HP to 7.5 HP. Some specifications may indicate 196cc.
• Inlet/Outlet Size: 3 inches (80mm), allowing for a high flow rate of water.
• Max Flow Rate (Delivery Volume): This is a key advantage of 3-inch pumps. Expect flow rates from 60,000 liters per hour (L/hr) or 1000 liters per minute (L/min) up to 750 liters per minute (which is 45,000 L/hr) depending on the specific model and vendor listing.
• Total Lift Head (Max Head): Typically ranges from 28 meters to 34 meters. Some listings for “high-pressure” models might indicate a higher lift (e.g., 75 meters), but for general 3-inch high-flow Kmax pumps, the 28-34m range is common.
• Suction Head/Depth: Generally around 7 to 10 meters.
• Starting System: Manual recoil starter.
• Fuel Type: Gasoline (petrol).
• Construction: Designed for durability and heavy-duty use, often with a sturdy frame, high-quality aluminum and iron components, and a robust impeller.
