Major pump with foam making branch (FB5X) and short length of hose for water tank filling.

    FIRE PUMP
    The fire pump is a Godiva GMB2700 mounted at the rear of the appliance. The pump has a 4" suction
    inlet and pipework from the tank. The pump is a bronze two stage multi-pressure unit which can be
    used for high volume low pressure output, low volume high pressure output or both simultaneously.
    The pump is fitted with two delivery valves complete with blank caps.

    PRIMING SYSTEM
    The main pump efficiently pumps water but cannot extract water from a suction hose and pipework
    when starting to pump water from an external source. The primer, using water from the main tank,
    creates the necessary vacuum in the suction hose enabling atmospheric pressure to force water into
    the pump. When the main pump produces pressure it automatically disengages the primer. The primer
    can be isolated manually if required.

    WATER TANK
    The water tank has a capacity of 1800 litres and is rotationally moulded in cross linked polyethylene.
    Integral baffles in the tank reduce the surging of the contents when the vehicle is in motion. The top
    of the tank has a removable cover plate to permit internal access for cleaning and inspection purposes.
    Also fitted to the top of the tank is a pressure relief cap and anti-spill overflow, terminating behind the
    rear axle. Moulded into the tank is a filling orifice and outlet.
