Has your department recently switched or are you looking at switching to synthetic fluorine-free foam concentrates?
To address these issues, we conducted testing with common SFFF concentrates to determine if the current eductors we offer were able to proportion each one correctly. What we discovered was used to inform additional design changes and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your foam operation.

The largest waterway on your intake valve will always give you the most flow-efficient design. This means your friction loss will be lower with a larger waterway.
"We are looking at replacing our intake valve on the pumper tanker and most of our response area does not have hydrants. Is there a particular intake valve for a department like ours that does almost all drafting?"
Why is the Jumbo Intake Valve Best for Drafting?
When your crew is drafting from a water source, you are creating a prime that pulls the water from your source and into your pump. This is different when using a fire hydrant since they provide pressure to help move the water.

Which do you use more often?

Placing an inline valve on your firefighting monitor is becoming more common in the fire service because it allows the firefighter operating the deck gun to easily control the water. It also simplifies shutdown when you need to add or remove smooth bore tips on your stack.
The biggest concern here is preventing water hammer â which could happen if you use the wrong type of valve.
For this situation, we recommend one of two options:
1. Use a common 2 ½â (64 mm) hydrant valve. Since these valves use a crank to open and close, it will minimize water hammer. It is important to check the size of the waterway, so you do not restrict the water supply as it exits the monitor and enters your stacked tips.
2. A detent valve is also common in this situation but has a smaller 2â (50 mm) waterway. This option will work for you, but you want to be sure to think through the size of your monitor, valve, and stacked tips when pairing the set.

How Does This Help During an Electric Vehicle Fire?
This kit allows your crew to easily slide a cellar nozzle under the vehicle and control the flow of water to cool the battery storage compartment. The extra extension tubes provide distance between you and the fire for added safety. #carfire #firefighting #electricvehicle
