You show us the ways to identify the need for your product but didn't show us what kind of boost it created in that particular setup. I believe TFT makes great appliances but show us some numbers please.
why not leave a small portable pump with pre-pack hook-up behind the hydrant on the sidewalk as part of the initial forward lay after initial hydrant charge the hydrant man is already there can hook up to the 4way valve and start the portable pump when called for to allow the 2nd 3rd and 4th due pumpers to go right to the fire bldg. if the 1st due pump drops two big LDH lines one can run off the 2-1/2 of the hydrant with LDH gated adapter or the 2nd 3rd or 4th due pump can drop a second big supply line into the fire and put the pump in operation independently in case of issue with 1st pumper.
This is only a sales pitch! If you have a good Municipal water supply, there is no need for a 4-way valve ( humate) [sp?] You can lay directly from the steamer connection and get great GPM. BTW, 5" Supply is a must!
Uh uh. You may get sufficient water some of the time, but you will never get the maximum that the hydrant is capable of. The dynamic pressure reduces and pressure loss to friction increases with the increase in flow. Once these meet in the middle, the limits of the feed are reached. By introducing a pumper at the hydrant, you can compensate for the friction loss. You don't need a TFT hydrant valve to do this, but having one eliminates water shutdown when the base pumper is introduced.
Of all the hydrant operation videos I have seen this is one of the best. Kudos to the awesome instructor. Great job sir.
Thanks for watching, Jeffry! Andy is one talented guy! Glad you got some pointers from the lesson.
Looking forward to these videos with Andy! Good stuff.
Thanks! Andy oozes knowledge and excellence. It's amazing to work with him and his team.
Excellent. The closer to the source the base pumper is sited, the more of the hydrants potential can be realised.
Thanks for the great video! That was one of the evolutions on my apparatus engineers' test. We had LDH Hydrant Valves.
Amazing to hear! Thanks for watching!

Fantastic idea
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support. If we can answer any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

He must be very confident in these products and that hydrant.
