The Firebox VTP is a complete, autonomous prefabricated outdoor fire‑protection unit designed for pump sets with Vertical Turbine Pumps (VTP), driven by either electric or diesel engines. It is been designed for maximum maintenance accessibility thanks to its removable roof.
The Firebox VTP is engineered for high‑level fire‑fighting installations that require reliability, accessibility and regulatory compliance. This prefabricated module integrates the technical compartment for a UNI EN 12845‑compliant fire‑fighting pump set with vertical turbine pumps (VTP), providing a compact, service‑friendly solution ready for deployment. Vertical Turbine Pumps (also available in submerged axial‑flow versions) are particularly valued in high‑specification projects because they ensure continuous service and stable performance. The module is engineered for outdoor installation and can be integrated with existing buried water reserves, allowing a flooded‑suction configuration even with an underground tank (in accordance with UNI EN 12845 10.6.1). Compared to fully underground systems, Firebox VTP makes inspections and interventions simpler, improving long-term management. The structure is designed to reduce risks for operators (no ladders or obstacles) and to comply with safety and system requirements (Legislative Decree 81/08, CEI 64-8).
