This Tsurumi LB-800 is a high-capacity submersible dewatering pump built for the demanding needs of construction and rental applications. Its slimline design fits effortlessly into 8-in. pipes, allowing for easy transport and installation in confined spaces. It is engineered for durability and features a wear-resistant urethane impeller, wear plates, and dual Silicon Carbide mechanical seals, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance in harsh conditions. The top discharge design enhances motor cooling efficiency, enabling continuous duty operation at low water levels and extended dry-run capability. Compact yet powerful, this pump delivers consistent, high-performance dewatering, making it an essential tool for tough environments. Includes a 50-ft. cable.

How The Tsurumi LB-800 Compares To The LSC1.4S And HSZ2.4S

Contractors and facility managers evaluating Tsurumi's submersible pump lineup now have three options depending on the job. Here's the honest comparison:

Feature Tsurumi LSC1.4S, Low-Level, 1/2 HP ($613) Tsurumi HSZ2.4S, Trash Pump w/ Agitator, 1/2 HP ($500) Tsurumi LB-800, High-Capacity, 1 HP ($833)
Primary Purpose Draining flat surfaces down to 0.4 in. residual water Pumping water containing sand, solids, and debris High-volume general dewatering for construction and rental applications
Motor 1/2 HP 1/2 HP 1 HP, the most powerful of the three
Flow Rate Up to 45 GPM Up to 53 GPM at 5 ft. of head Up to 80 GPM, significantly higher volume
Max Head 39 ft. 39 ft. Up to 59-60 ft.
Cable Length 20 ft. 20 ft. 50 ft., longer reach for deeper or more distant setups
Design Semi-open ductile iron impeller for low-level drainage Built-in agitator prevents clogging from settled sand/sediment Slimline design fits into an 8" pipe/caisson for confined spaces
Discharge Not specified in this comparison 2" angled discharge 2" top discharge for maximum motor cooling and extended dry-run capability
Automatic Operation Not specified Built-in automatic float switch Manual (automatic float switch versions available separately)
Best Suited For Near-complete drainage of flat surfaces without a sump Debris-laden water needing hands-free, clog-resistant operation High-volume dewatering in confined spaces like caissons and deep excavations

Why The Tsurumi LB-800 Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a submersible pump, it's built with a slimline design that fits into an 8" pipe or caisson while delivering up to 80 GPM of flow and 59-60 ft. of shut-off head, giving contractors and rental operations the highest-capacity option in the Tsurumi lineup for confined, deep, or high-volume dewatering applications.

The LB-800 specifically addresses the needs of contractors and rental operations handling high-volume dewatering in confined spaces, deep excavations, or general construction site drainage where the smaller LSC1.4S or HSZ2.4S wouldn't provide enough flow or reach.

Maximum Flow And Reach In A Confined-Space Design. With up to 80 GPM of flow, a 50 ft. cable, and a slimline profile that fits into an 8" pipe, this pump delivers significantly more volume and reach than the smaller LSC1.4S or HSZ2.4S, all while still fitting into tight caissons and confined excavation spaces.

Built For High-Capacity, Continuous-Duty Operation

The top discharge design maximizes motor cooling efficiency, enabling continuous duty operation at low levels

The wear-resistant semi-vortex urethane impeller and wear plates ensure durability under demanding dewatering conditions

The slimline design allows effortless installation into 8" pipes or caissons for confined-space applications

Engineered For Long-Term Reliability

The dual Silicon Carbide mechanical seal provides longer operational life than standard single-seal designs

The oil lifter provides lubrication of the seal faces to extend service life

Extended dry-run capability reduces the risk of motor damage if water levels drop unexpectedly

Real Savings

Higher flow rate and head capacity reduce the need for multiple smaller pumps on larger dewatering jobs

The 50 ft. cable reduces the need for extension cords or repositioning power sources on deep or distant setups

A 2-year limited manufacturer warranty reduces the risk of unexpected repair costs

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Contractors and rental operations handling high-volume dewatering in confined spaces like caissons or deep excavations can't get that combination of flow, reach, and slimline fit from the smaller LSC1.4S or HSZ2.4S. The Tsurumi LB-800 is built with a slimline 8"-pipe-compatible design, up to 80 GPM of flow, and a 50 ft. cable, so it delivers the highest capacity in the Tsurumi lineup covered here. For anyone handling large-volume or confined-space dewatering as a regular part of the job, this is the pump built to keep up with the water.
