Finish Thompson offers corrosion-resistant baseplates for use with our DB, SP, MSDB, and UC Series pump models. Baseplates lift the pump and motor off the floor, preventing damage from floods or spills and providing a sturdy mounting for the pump/motor.

Baseplates are available in epoxy painted steel, fiberglass, or polymer concrete. The polymer concrete baseplates feature superior flatness, stainless steel cast in place threaded inserts, superior dampening, foundation bolt holes, standard grout hole, integrated sloping drip pan with drain port, and complies with most engineering specifications.

All baseplates are pre-machined to precisely fit Finish Thompson pumps and motors. Custom sizes and materials are also available upon request. Plus, no layout and fabrications simplify site installation. Factory mounting includes stainless steel hardware and shims (if required).

Finish Thompson’s power monitors have digital display and PLC output that provides outstanding protection against pump failure due to run dry, dead heading, excess power, de-coupling and lack of priming (SP Series).

FTI power monitors operate at 50 or 60 Hz, is easy to install, and offers four levels of protection (pre-alarm minimum & maximum power; alarm minimum and maximum power). Our models cover all motor voltages up to 690 VAC and a transducer is included at no additional charge.

For selection assistance, please contact Finish Thompson. Please have the voltage the motor will operate at and, if not ordering a motor with the pump, please also provide the motor data (i.e. brand, single or 3-phase, HP, etc.).

Variable frequency drives are used to control the speed of a 3-phase motor by changing the frequency. Changing the speed of the motor changes the flow rate and discharge head of the pump to better meet the application performance requirements. This allows the pump to run more efficiently and eliminates the need for a throttling valve. VFDs are sized based on the horsepower (or kilowatts) of the motor and the available supply voltage.

Pedestal assemblies enable a pump to be coupled to special AC or DC electric motors, air motors, gas or diesel engines, and hydraulic motors using a flexible coupling. Finish Thompson offers standard pedestal assemblies to fit any of our horizontal centrifugal pumps with a NEMA 56C motor adapter.

A pedestal assembly option is also offered for the UC Series to fit NEMA frame sizes 145TC up to 256TC and IEC 90 up to 160.

Optional pedestal frame accessories, such as couplings, coupling guards, and base plates are available upon request.
