HISTORY

Flo Fab was established in 1981 by Denis Gauvreau who created and developed the products line and
constantly being perfected by Marc Gauvreau, as well as by a team of professional engineers and desi-
gners. It’s a combination of existing designs from several renowned products and the innovative ideas of
a new generation professionals.

Through the years, Flo Fab has acquired several companies and service entities including : AQUA-PROFAB
(ASME Tanks manufacturer), MÉNARD, LÉONARD ÉLECTRIQUE, PMA. , Furthermore Flo Fab purchased
equipment, fabrication designs and patterns from IDEALCO, a manufacturer of shell and tube type heat
exchangers.
The after sales services, sales, engineering, R&D, production, quality control, accounting and administra-
tion departments of all the above companies share the same location.

In December 2014, Marc Gauvreau, son of the founder, acquired all shares of The company. Flo Fab and is
constantly investing in new state of the art innovations new product like the XRI series and Prefab Skid for
Hydronic Hearing 8 cooling system, pumping systems. This has allowed Flo Fab to retain competent and
experienced staff of professionals with varied and specialized abilities that constantly work on improving
our existing products and add new engineered solutions that exceeding customer’s expectations .
Flo Fab has grown quite rapidly and now proudly offers of a wide range of products available directly from
one manufacturer. This includes pumps & pump packages, tanks, heat exchangers & hydronic accessories.

Product Features
Series 4800/4900 H
(New Generation)

Features and Benefits


Application: The series 4800 are double suction split case type and are most commonly applied
for fire protection systems or other industrial applications.
Features and Benefits:
The axially split volute casing of this series makes this pump especially easy to service. Inspe-
cion of the rotor assembly is possible without removing the pump from the piping. When as-
sembling, the locking of the upper part takes place automatically.
Innovative Casing: Hydraulically optimized casing in several material variants.

Seal Appropriate for the Application: Mechanical seals or asbestos-free gland packing sui-
table to the application.

Low Vibrations: Small bearing distance and short rotors for low vibration operation.
Variable Components: Same sealing and bearing housing, bearings and seals on bothe sides.

Power Impeller: Minimum axial thrust for best hydraulic values.


Long-Life Bearings: Covered, grease lubricated rolling element bearings for long operating life.

Operating Data
Sizes: (DN) 80 to 350mm (3’’ to 14’’)
Flow: (Q) from 500 USGPM to 5000 USGPM
Head: (H) up to 400 PSI, up to 229m (750ft)
Maximum Operating Pressure: (t) up to 1204 kPa/175 PSI, 1720kPa/250 PSI
Maximum Operating Temperature: (P) up to 225°F/107°C, 250°F/120°C
Speed: (n) up to 3450 RPM
