Powered by a Honda GX240 engine, the QP3TH delivers up to 396 GPM with a maximum head of 95 feet and maximum pressure of 41.1 PSI, making it ideal for construction sites, excavations, flood water removal, irrigation, farms, jobsite drainage, municipalities, and other demanding water-transfer applications.
Designed for dependable professional operation, the QP3TH features a die-cast aluminum pump casing, abrasion-resistant ductile iron semi-open impeller, cast iron volute, silicon-carbide mechanical seal with 304 stainless steel components, dual 3-inch discharge ports, large quick-access cleanout cover, integrated check valve, low-oil engine protection, and a heavy-duty tubular steel frame. The pump can handle spherical solids up to 1.5 inches in diameter for reliable operation in debris-laden water.
A trash pump is a centrifugal pump designed to move dirty water containing suspended solids and debris that could clog a conventional clear-water pump. Larger internal passages and durable wear components allow the QP3TH to operate effectively in demanding construction, drainage, and dewatering environments.
The QP3TH is designed for agricultural applications, construction sites, dirty water, emergency response, excavations, farms, floods, irrigation, jobsite drainage, mining, municipalities, standing water, swimming pools, quarries, and water supply from lakes and rivers.
Trash pumps are commonly selected using flow rate (GPM) and total head. Flow rate represents how much water the pump can move per minute, while total head represents the vertical elevation and system resistance the pump can overcome.
The QP3TH delivers up to 396 GPM with a maximum head of 95 feet and maximum pressure of 41.1 PSI. Actual pumping performance will vary depending on suction lift, discharge elevation, hose diameter, hose length, fittings, bends, and water conditions.
The QP3TH features a 3-inch NPT male suction connection and dual 3-inch NPT male discharge ports. The replaceable dual-discharge design provides additional flexibility when positioning discharge hoses and configuring the pump for different jobsite conditions.
The QP3TH is powered by a Honda GX240 270cc gasoline engine rated at 7.9 HP. The air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder OHV engine operates at 3,600 RPM, uses recoil starting, and includes automatic low-oil shutdown to help protect the engine when the oil level becomes too low.
The QP3TH can handle spherical solids up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Its semi-open ductile iron impeller, cast iron volute, die-cast aluminum casing, silicon-carbide mechanical seal, and large cleanout cover are designed for reliable operation in abrasive and debris-laden water.
The latest 2026 QP3TH data sheet specifies a 1.4-gallon fuel tank, fuel consumption of approximately 0.58 gallons per hour, and approximately 2.4 hours of runtime under rated operating conditions.
The latest Multiquip QP3TH data sheet lists a 2 Year warranty from the date of purchase for the QP3TH pump, a 3 Year warranty for the Honda GX240 engine, and a 3-month warranty for hoses. Always verify current warranty terms, fuel requirements, maintenance requirements, hose specifications, and operating conditions before use.
The Multiquip QP3TH is a professional-grade gasoline-powered trash pump engineered for high-volume water removal in demanding construction, agricultural, municipal, and general dewatering applications. Powered by a trusted Honda GX240 gasoline engine rated at 7.9 HP in current Multiquip literature, the QP3TH delivers up to 396 gallons per minute with a maximum published head of 95 feet and maximum pressure of 41.1 PSI, providing powerful portable performance for excavations, flood removal, jobsite drainage, water tanks, water trucks, and other challenging pumping applications.
Its 3-inch suction and dual 3-inch discharge ports support rapid water movement while providing flexible hose positioning for different jobsite configurations. The QP3TH can pass solids up to 1.5 inches in diameter and provides up to 25 feet of maximum suction lift, making it well suited for dirty water containing mud, sediment, gravel, and other debris that can challenge conventional clean-water pumps.
Built for demanding professional use, the QP3TH combines a rugged aluminum pump body with cast-iron fittings, impeller, and volute for abrasion resistance and long service life. A durable carbon/silicon mechanical seal helps protect the pump shaft, while the large tool-free cleanout cover provides fast access for removing accumulated debris. The entire pump and engine assembly is protected by a tubular steel frame for dependable transportation and field operation.
