ITT Water Technology Inc. Recalls Faulty Pumps for Fire Suppression Systems

Is my product affected?

Goulds Pumps®, Bell & Gossett® and Red Jacket Water Products Brand Pumps for Fire Suppression Systems

  • Brand ITT Water Technology Inc., of Auburn, N.Y.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

ITT Water Technology Inc. is recalling certain pumps that may have been installed in fire suppression systems. These pumps were manufactured between December 2005 and July 26, 2006, and were sold under the brand names Goulds Pumps, Bell & Gossett, and Red Jacket Water Products. A mechanical part on the affected pumps was not fully tightened during manufacturing, which could cause the pump to fail during operation. If one of these pumps fails while installed in a fire suppression system, it could reduce the system's ability to suppress a fire and increase fire damage risk.

The recalled pumps can be identified by their model number (NPE, NPO, MCC, MCS, SM, or Series 3530) and date code (M05, A06, B06, C06, D06, E06, F06, or G06—the first three digits of the serial number) on the nameplate. ITT Water Technology Inc. will contact installers of affected fire suppression systems to schedule inspections and replacements. If you have not been contacted by the company, you should contact ITT Water Technology Inc. directly.

Hazard

A mechanical part on these pumps was not fully tightened, which can lead to the pump failing during use. If pumps sold with fire suppression systems fail, the risk of fire damage increases. The pump itself does not pose a fire hazard.

What should I do?

Installers of fire suppression systems will be contacted by ITT Water Technology Inc. to schedule an inspection and replacement. Please contact ITT Water Technology Inc. if you have not been contacted yet.
