YP20G Water Pump

The YP20G moves water through a 2-inch port using a 171cc OHV 4-stroke engine, with its maker rating output at up to 169 gallons per minute, or 10,140 gallons per hour. It's a general-purpose pump, built for relatively clean water rather than debris-loaded runoff.

Reading the pump's ratings

An 88-foot total head figure describes the combined height and resistance this pump can push against, and a separate 26-foot suction rating covers how deep the water source can sit below the pump itself before performance suffers. Threaded NPT fittings are standard sizing, so common suction and discharge hose connects without needing an adapter.

Why cast iron and ceramic seals matter

Choosing cast iron for both the impeller and the volute case, rather than a lighter metal, is meant to stand up to the grit, sand, and silt that tends to show up in general pumping jobs. The mechanical seal is a carbon-ceramic design, picked because it holds up under regular use yet can still be swapped out affordably once it does wear.

Common questions

What size hose fits this pump? It uses a 2-inch port with standard NPT fittings.

Is this built for muddy or sandy water? Yes, the cast iron components are chosen to resist that kind of wear.

Does it need any special fittings? No, standard NPT threading on both ends keeps hookup simple.
