Jockey Pump for Fire System Supplier in Manila

JOHOB Hardware Trading is a Philippines-based industrial equipment supplier serving commercial, industrial, and institutional buyers across Manila and nationwide. A jockey pump is a small pressure maintenance pump inside a fire protection system: it holds the sprinkler and standpipe network at its set pressure between main pump runs, making up minor leaks and thermal contraction so the much larger main fire pump is not started and stopped on trivial demand. Building administrators, fire protection contractors, and MEP consultants come to us for jockey duty because the pump has to be matched to the main fire pump and the pressure setpoint, not bought off a generic catalogue line. We source from Philippine and China factories and deliver with local warranty and after-sales support, so a Manila building is not chasing an overseas factory when a jockey pump needs attention. Pricing is quote-based. Send your system pressure setpoint and the main fire pump's rated duty, and we respond within one business day.

Jockey pump duty is a low-flow, high-head profile, and the vertical multistage design is the right architecture for it, because it holds a steep, stable pressure curve at low flow instead of the flat curve a general-purpose centrifugal pump produces. We supply this role from our CDL/CDLF vertical multistage pump range.

A jockey pump duty point sits at the low-flow end of that range, sized to offset the actual leakage rate of your specific system rather than to a rule of thumb. We quote against the number your fire protection engineer has calculated, not against a generic fraction of the main pump.

A jockey pump quotation moves fastest when it carries three numbers rather than a single flow figure.

• The system pressure setpoint your fire protection engineer has specified for the sprinkler and standpipe network
• The pipe volume being held at pressure, which drives how much leakage the jockey pump has to offset
• The main fire pump's rated flow and pressure, so the jockey duty is scoped against the same system rather than in isolation

Send those three and we will confirm the jockey pump model against your CDL/CDLF duty point. If you do not yet have the pressure setpoint confirmed, send the main fire pump specification and the building type, and we will flag what still needs confirming before we can quote rather than guessing at a number. This is the same discipline we apply on every jockey pump enquiry, because a pump sized against a guessed setpoint is a pump that either short cycles against real leakage or fails to hold pressure when the system actually needs it.

Jockey pumps typically run on a pressure-switch or star-delta starter rather than a VFD, because the duty is start-stop pressure maintenance rather than continuous flow modulation. We supply star-delta, soft-start, and VFD panels built by Chutian using Inovance drives, and we will confirm which control type fits your fire protection engineer's design before quoting. If your fire pump controller assembly is specified as a listed fire service assembly, tell us at RFQ stage and we confirm in writing what listing documentation the factory can provide for the exact model proposed. We do not make blanket listing claims across our equipment range, because listing applies to specific models, not to a supplier.

Equipment we supply carries ISO 9001 manufacturer quality management certification, TUV SUD testing, and CE marking on the electrical scope. Pressure vessels carry ASME certification where applicable. JOHOB Hardware Trading is a supplier, not a licensed installer, and is not PCAB accredited, so installation and the fire protection acceptance test in front of the Authority Having Jurisdiction stay with your appointed fire protection contractor. Ask for the specific certificates covering your jockey pump and panel at quotation stage rather than after delivery, so the document pack is ready for your submittal without a follow-up request.

Standard lead times are 21 to 35 days for ex-stock configurations and 45 to 90 days for made-to-order equipment. A jockey pump matched to a specific duty point and paired with a built-to-order panel usually falls in the made-to-order band, so raise your commissioning date at RFQ stage and we will confirm which band applies rather than quoting an optimistic number. On tax, 12 percent VAT applies to VAT-registered buyers. Zero-VAT treatment applies to PEZA and SBMA locators and to registered exporters, so state your registration status when you send the RFQ and the quotation carries the correct treatment from the start. We deliver nationwide: NCR, the rest of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including PEZA, SBMA, and Clark locators. Pricing is quote-based and we do not publish prices, since the jockey pump and panel figure depends on the duty point and the control specification. We respond to RFQs within one business day.
