3. Jockey Fire Pump Controllers – If you’re looking for a new jockey fire pump controller, we feature two great choices from Firetrol – FTA550E XG and FTA550F.

The FTA550E XG excels in its role of maintaining pressure in fire pump installations. This is vital in preventing unnecessary operation of the main fire pump. Features include UL & NFPA 70 approval, NEMA Type 2 enclosures, full voltage starting, and all the standard features you’d expect.

The FTA550F is similar to the FTA550E XG except for these few distinct differences: The FTA550F uses a NEMA Type 2/12 (IEC IP22/IP52) polycarbonate enclosure (UL50E Construction) rather than the FTA550E XG’s painted steel enclosure.  The FTA550F also includes a horsepower rated motor circuit protector and starting contactor, whereas the FTA550E XG has a circuit breaker and horsepower rated motor starter.
