Tsurumi LB-480 Submersible Dewatering Pump 2/3 HP 115V 2 Inch Discharge 63 GPM 3780 GPH Slimline Construction Utility Pump Manual Trash Water Pumping

Experience Industrial-Grade Reliability with the Legendary Slimline Dewatering Workhorse

When your project demands a pump that can endure all-day operation in the most punishing environments, the Tsurumi LB-480 is the definitive professional choice. Favored by construction and rental experts worldwide, this 2/3 HP submersible dewatering pump is engineered for incredible durability and unfailing performance. Its signature slimline design allows it to be easily deployed into narrow 8-inch pipes, utility vaults, and cramped excavations where larger units simply cannot fit. Capable of moving a massive 3,780 gallons of water per hour, the LB-480 handles sand, grit, and debris with ease, making it the perfect tool for foundation clean-ups, manhole drainage, and residential or commercial site dewatering.

The LB-480 is built with best-in-class components to ensure minimal maintenance and maximum uptime. It features Tsurumis patented oil lifter and dual silicon carbide mechanical seals, providing the industry’s best protection against abrasive wear. The wear-resistant urethane semi-vortex impeller is designed to pass solids without clogging, while the top-discharge flow-through design uses the pumped water to cool the motor. This advanced cooling system allows the pump to operate continuously at low water levels and even withstand extended dry-run periods without damage. For maximum efficiency, this manual powerhouse can be paired with a heavy-duty 2-inch discharge hose to tackle your toughest dirty-water applications.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To prevent air-locking when first lowering the pump into water, tilt the unit slightly to allow air to escape from the impeller housing before setting it upright. If you are pumping in an area with heavy leaves or large organic debris, place the pump inside a perforated bucket or use a filter mesh to prevent the outer intake screen from becoming blocked, ensuring a consistent 63 GPM flow throughout the job.
