Product
The BE Power Equipment HP-2014VR is a heavy-duty 2" high-pressure water pump engineered for high-head water transfer, agricultural irrigation, and emergency flood or fire management. Powered by a commercial-grade 14 HP Vanguard engine, this standalone pump delivers the exceptional pressure and volume necessary to push water across long distances and steep inclines. The robust cast iron impeller and durable aluminum casing are designed to handle demanding workloads while maintaining maximum efficiency. Built for professionals who require a dependable, high-performance water management tool, this unit provides the raw power and structural integrity needed to operate reliably in the most challenging field conditions.
This high-pressure pump is designed specifically for applications where standard transfer pumps fall short on vertical lift and pressure. Driven by a reliable 408 cc Vanguard engine, the system delivers an impressive 143 PSI, enabling it to move water to a total discharge head of 304 feet. It serves as a powerful, standalone power plant for operators who already have custom hose configurations or specific plumbing layouts.
The HP-2014VR features standard 2" inlet and outlet ports, allowing for quick integration into existing hose lines or permanent pipe systems. To ensure reliable performance and protect the mechanical seals, the pump casing must be completely filled with water through the priming port before starting the engine. The commercial Vanguard engine is built for long-term reliability, featuring an efficient overhead valve design and a heavy-duty air filtration system. Keeping the pump clear of solid debris and draining the casing before freezing conditions will ensure this high-pressure unit delivers dependable service season after season.

BE Power Equipment water transfer pumps are ideal for moving clean or lightly dirty water—perfect for draining flooded areas, filling livestock tanks, irrigating fields, and transferring water between containers or holding tanks.
Standard BE water transfer pumps are designed for clean or slightly muddy water. If you need to pump water with solid debris, we recommend a BE semi-trash or trash pump, built specifically for that purpose.
Consider the discharge size (1" to 4"), flow rate (GPM), total head (lift distance), and application. For small tasks, a 1" or 2" model is great. For high-volume jobs, a larger pump with more GPM may be more efficient.
Yes. All BE water transfer pumps must be primed by filling the pump housing with water before starting the engine. This helps remove air and allows proper suction.
No. Running the pump dry can damage the seals and impeller. Always ensure the pump is primed and has a water source before starting.
BE water transfer pumps are powered by reliable Powerease or Honda gas engines, offering consistent performance, easy starting, and long service life.
BE pumps can lift water vertically up to 25–30 feet and move it horizontally for hundreds of feet, depending on the model and hose diameter. Check the pump's maximum head rating for specifics.
No. BE’s general-purpose water transfer pumps are not rated for potable water. Use only certified potable water pumps for any drinking or food-safe water transfer applications.
BE pumps powered by Powerease or Honda engines run on unleaded gasoline. Always follow the engine owner's manual for fuel and oil specifications and avoid using fuel with more than 10% ethanol.
