Milwaukee Switches to Darley Pumps
Milwaukee is the latest fire department to join the growing number of cities switching to Darley. Departments are finding Darley’s highly efficient vacuum cast impeller, which is broached, and precision balanced for vibration-free performance, is one of the many reasons departments are switching to Darley pumps.Read More >
Why Charlotte Switched
“The service we have received from your company has been second to none,” said Capt. Buddy Caldwell of Charlotte to Jason Darley. The reception of Darley pumps has been exceedingly positive and fire departments continue to be thrilled with the features and services that Darley provides.Read More >
Why Baltimore County Switched
Baltimore County Fire has joined the growing list of Metro fire departments “switching” to Darley. In 2019, Baltimore County looked to make a major purchase of apparatus and took time to review offerings from not only vehicle manufacturers but also major component suppliers. After meeting with the major pump manufacturers, Darley was chosen as the supplier.

Why Demand Darley
Parts Availability
We understand the importance of keeping your pump operational, which is why we ship most Darley parts orders within 24 hours.
Silicon Carbide Mechanical Seal
Our mechanical seal features an extremely hard (72 Rockwell) and heat dissipative silicon carbide stationary face. Resists wear and dry running much better than conventional Ni-resist and tungsten carbide materials. Now standard on all pumps except for double suction LDM and EM. Over 35,000 in service currently with an unparalleled service record.
AutoCool™ & Magnatrans™
Darley pump transmissions are the strongest in the market at 19,230 ft-lb torque rating and use helical cut gears as standard on all transmissions to limit noise and maximize strength. The patented AutoCool™ ensures oil cooling without the possibility of water contamination.
Heater Core
Darley’s exclusive heater core helps cool your apparatus’s engine in the warm summer months and help protect your pump from freezing in the harshest winter climates.
Self-Locking Discharge Valves
Since the 1960’s, Darley has been manufacturing the best discharge ball valve on the market. Designed with a self-locking feature, the valve allows for stable hands free operation. The valve also features a stainless steel ball and a bronze seat. Are you tired of replacing your ball valves year after year? Our ball valve can be rebuilt in minutes resulting cost savings and continued performance. Another added benefit of the Darley ball valve is the adjustable handle, which can be clocked in 45 degree increments to allow for varying applications.
Discharge Check Valve
Darley’s discharge check valve is designed to improve attack time. By isolating the discharge plumbing from the pump cavity, the pump can be primed with open discharge gates. When the pump achieves prime, the discharged water forces the check valve to an opened position. The simplicity of the design allows for easy maintenance and trouble free operation.
Vacuum Cast Impeller
Darley twisted vane impellers are vacuum cast to eliminate porosity, broached to fit a 10-splined shaft rather than a single key and precision balanced for smooth operation and optimal efficiency all resulting in reduced cost of ownership and the most efficient and durable fire pump on the market.
Low Cost Of Ownership
Blending sophistication and ingenuity, Team Darley continues to develop the best pump efficiencies on the market. Utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD), we have the ability to bend the realm of possibility. We believe in providing unmatched service, unmatched performance, and unmatched quality while reducing the total cost of ownership to our customers.
ISO 9001 CERTIFIED
Our pump division is registered as an ISO 9001: 2015 Certified facility, accredited by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
