Designed for Ranches & Large Acreage
This system is scaled perfectly for your property type.
Add fire retardant at checkout. You'll have the option to add Barricade II fire blocking gel or the Komodo K-101 retardant kit during checkout — no need to choose now.
Large ranches and estates need more than a standard fire pump. Long driveways, hillsides, barns, and hundreds of feet between the water and the structures all drain pressure. The Defender 18HP pairs a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine with a twin-stage pump that keeps pressure high where smaller pumps fall off, giving you the reach to defend your entire property.
Who This System Is For
- Large ranches, estates, and rural properties with long hose runs
- Hillside properties where water must be pushed well above the pump
- Owners who want to run two 1.5" hose lines with the included gated wye valve
- Homes with a pool, pond, or water tank within reach of a 20 ft suction hose
Consider a different system if:
- Your property is under a few acres with shorter hose runs → see the Defender 13HP
- You want sprinklers included → see the Perimeter Pro 9HP
How It Works
The pump draws water through the 20 ft suction hose, and its twin-stage design builds high pressure through two impellers in a row. Water flows out through two fire hose lines:
- 1.5" line: 150 ft of hose for long-reaching streams, up to 140 ft
- 1" line: 50 ft of lighter hose for close-in work around structures
Add the included gated wye valve to split the 1.5" outlet into two independently controlled 1.5" lines. The built-in gauge shows pump pressure, and the automatic pressure relief valve releases water if the nozzles are closed while the engine runs, protecting the pump.
