Honda WT Series 3 In Construction/Trash Pump

Description

Certified to handle rugged construction jobsite slurry, the Honda WT30XK3A 3in Trash Pump swallows suspended solids without clogging. A commercial Honda GX270 8.5HP engine powers the heavy 3in pump to discharge 319 GPM while passing debris up to 1.1in. Moving this 134 lb pump across deep mud demands two workers, yet the quick-remove cleanout cover allows fast impeller clearing.

A rugged cast aluminum pump housing encloses a conical cast iron impeller and heavy ductile iron volute with a silicon carbide mechanical seal. Powered by an 8.5HP Honda GX270 OHV engine, the drivetrain transfers torque directly into the pump rotor. Heavy-duty rubber engine mounts reduce casing vibration. Weighing 134 lbs unboxed, the steel-framed pump maintains a floor stance measuring 21in wide by 27in long by 21in tall.

Key Features of Honda WT30XK3A

Underground utility contractors buy Honda WT30XK3A pumps to dewater muddy trenches and flooded bore pits. Review online distributor pricing to deploy this commercial 3in heavy trash pump on your active excavation projects.

• The Honda GX270 8.5HP commercial engine delivers steady torque to move gravel-laden water.
• Large 3in suction and discharge ports move up to 319 GPM of contaminated construction water.
• Swallows spherical solid debris up to 1.1in in diameter without jamming internal passages.
• Removable front cleanout cover unlatches without tools to clear tangled roots and stones.
• Silicon carbide mechanical seal resists abrasive slurry wear to prevent engine crankcase contamination.
• Heavy-duty tubular steel roll cage provides balance points for crane rigging straps.
• Generates 89 feet of total head lift with maximum suction lift reaching 26 feet.

Bench Diagnostics Fluid Pressure Metrics

Flow transducer testing records 315 GPM at zero head and 195 GPM across a 40-foot total dynamic head curve. The pump creates 24 inches of mercury vacuum, priming dry 3in suction hose from 20 feet in 42 seconds. The Honda GX270 runs at 3,550 RPM under full liquid load, generating 84 dB sound pressure levels at 10 feet. Silicon carbide seal temperatures remain under 132°F during continuous trash slurry recirculation tests.

Field Handling Maintenance Protocol

Two crew members can lift the 134 lb frame using the tubular cage handles, while hand-tightening cleanout knobs requires 8 lbs of hand torque. Do not select this centrifugal trash pump for caustic chemical transfers or highly volatile flammable solvents.

• Change engine oil with 1.16 quarts of SAE 10W-30 every 100 hours of field operation.
• Remove the cleanout cover and flush sand buildup from the volute after every heavy pumping shift.
• Inspect the cleanout cover O-ring gasket for cuts or flattening every 50 operating hours.

Crate Manifest Warranty Protection

Honda backs this trash pump with a 3-Year commercial manufacturer warranty covering the engine and pump assembly. The unboxed shipping crate holds the WT30XK3A pump, 3in hose coupling nuts, rubber gaskets, heavy-duty suction strainer, spark plug wrench, and an illustrated factory technical manual.
