MultiQuip Submersible Trash Pump ST2040TF 1 HP 2 Inch 79 GPM (40 Ft Head 1 In Solids Handling Cast Iron Float Switch Dewatering)

MultiQuip ST2040TF 1 HP 2 Inch Industrial Submersible Trash Pump

The MultiQuip ST2040TF Industrial Submersible Trash Pump functions as a high-volume dewatering and fluid transfer system engineered to evacuate debris-laden water from excavation pits, basements, and utility vaults. Driven by a 1 HP 115V single-phase electric motor drawing 6.8 running amps, this heavy-duty submersible pump delivers a maximum flow capacity of 79 GPM, a 40-foot total head, a 2-inch NPT female discharge, and 1-inch solid intake handling without clogging. Constructed with an abrasion-resistant cast iron housing, a neoprene rubber over cast iron impeller, a tethered mechanical float switch, and a 25-foot power cable, this 34-pound pump drains flat surfaces down to 2-inch water levels across commercial job sites.

Best Used For:

• Excavation Pit & Construction Trench Dewatering: Evacuating muddy, debris-filled groundwater and runoff containing up to 1-inch solid particles from open foundation pits.
• Basement & Utility Vault Flood Evacuation: Automatically clearing flooded commercial basements and underground utility vaults using the tethered mechanical float switch.
• Agricultural & Industrial Washdown Drainage: Pumping high-volume wastewater away from livestock wash bays, concrete containment basins, and agricultural sumps.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 1 HP 115V Industrial Electric Motor: Single-phase power unit draws 6.8 running amps (25A starting) with internal thermal overload protection to prevent motor burnout.
• 79 GPM High-Flow & 40 FT Total Head: Pushes up to 79 gallons per minute with 40 feet of vertical head pressure for efficient high-elevation discharge.
• 1-Inch Solid Intake Handling Capacity: Cast iron impeller with neoprene rubber overlay passes spherical solids up to 1 inch without clogging the volute.
• Tethered Mechanical Float Switch: Automatically engages pumping cycles when water levels rise and cuts power upon dewatering to prevent dry running.
• Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction: Abrasion-resistant cast iron pump housing with dual shaft seals and sealed ball bearings ensures extended service life.
• 25-Foot Molded Cord with Strain Relief: Heavy-gauge 25-foot power cable provides broad reach into deep vaults and pits while resisting jacket abrasion.

What's Included

• (1) MultiQuip ST2040TF 1 HP 2-Inch Submersible Trash Pump
• (1) Integrated Tethered Mechanical Float Switch Assembly
• (1) 25-Foot Heavy-Duty Power Cord with Strain Relief

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When lowering the ST2040TF into deep excavation pits or muddy sumps, always attach a dedicated nylon lowering rope to the pump's carrying handle rather than suspending it by the 25-foot power cord or float switch cable. Relieving tension on the electrical strain relief protects the internal wire connections and dual shaft seals from premature water ingress.
