The reinforced hose pushes over it and is secured with a clip. The \u003cstrong\u003edischarge connector can be turned to run horizontally\u003c\/strong\u003e instead of vertically, which matters in a low crawl space or under a floor where there is no headroom for the hose to rise before it turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo extend, push the cam coupling and adapter into end of the suction and delivery hose and the layflat, securing each with a hose clip. That is what the three clips are for: one at the pump, two to join the cam attachments. Connect the cam attachments and fix togther by pushing down the locking handles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no non-return valve in the kit because the pump has one built in. The integral swing check valve stops the water standing in the hose running back through the pump when you switch off, which on a lift out of a cellar is the difference between finishing the job and pumping the same water twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo ways to run it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstimated flow with the hose discharging freely.

The 6m reinforced hose holds its shape over thresholds, up steps and around doorframes without kinking. The 10 m layflat is light and packs down small, which is what you want once you are outside and just need reach. The cam joiner couples them for a 16m run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to use both hoses?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the 6m reinforced hose on its own gives you around 115 litres per minute at 2m of lift, against 85 with the full 16m coupled on. Only add the layflat when you actually need the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need a non-return valve?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SPK530 has an integral swing check valve, so water in the discharge hose cannot run back through the pump when you switch off. That is one fitting fewer to buy, fit and lose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich voltage should I choose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e110V for construction sites, where power comes through a transformer. 230V for domestic properties, commercial buildings and general-purpose mains. If you work across both, most fleets carry 110V and use a transformer where needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is it different from the Essential Home Flood kit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsiderably more pump. The SPK530 moves 170 litres per minute against 70, lifts 11m against 6, passes 5mm solids against 3, clears to 1mm rather than 2, and is available in 110V. It also has a built-in check valve.

The water-cooled design is specified for continuous duty at low water levels, and the thermal cut-out protects the motor if it overheats. It still needs an operator, because it is manual and will not stop when the water is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I add more layflat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with another cam joiner and clips, but be realistic about the cost. At 25mm bore, friction is already taking more than half the pump's available head on the 16m run. Beyond about 20m you are losing more than you gain, so get the water somewhere safe as directly as you can.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FPS Engineered™","offers":[{"title":"230V","offer_id":56375491494267,"sku":"SPK530-KIT-TRADE-1","price":337.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"110V","offer_id":56375491527035,"sku":"SPK530-KIT-TRADE-2","price":337.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/0857\/4015\/files\/SPK530_trade_and_hire_flood_pump_kit_with_CAM_adapter.jpg?v=1786546207","url":"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/products\/trade-hire-flood-pump-kit-stream-spk530","provider":"Flood \u0026 Water Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
