Tuthill Corp FR1204H 12V Dc Fuel Transfer Pump 15 Gpm

Product Description

The TUTHILL CORP FR1204H is a 12-volt DC fuel transfer pump rated at 15 GPM, built for contractor and industrial fueling operations. The pump features a 1/4 HP explosion-proof motor with a permanent magnet and cast bronze rotor fitted with bronze rotary vanes. The heavy-duty cast iron housing is designed for demanding field use. A built-in check valve and strainer protect the pump and downstream equipment. Thermal overload protection guards the motor during extended operation. The rotatable wiring junction box allows flexible installation orientation. This unit ships as pump only and is pad-lockable for secured fuel access.

The FR1204H is suited for stationary tank-mount fueling stations in construction, agriculture, fleet maintenance, and industrial settings. The 2-inch threaded base mounts directly to a tank. It is compatible with diesel, gasoline, kerosene, E15, and biodiesel blends up to B20, making it a versatile choice for sites running multiple fuel types. The low-amperage draw is designed to minimize strain on DC power sources such as vehicle batteries and portable power supplies. Licensed contractors and fleet service technicians are the typical installers for this class of pump.
