Have you heard these tips to master the triple tap hydrant configuration? Here are Steps 1-3:  1) Connect Four-Way Valve to Hydrant - Use “Hydrant” port of four-way valve 2) First Line Connection - Connect the first line from the supply pumper to the “To Fire” port of the four-way valve. - Ensure this line goes to one of the large intakes on the supply pumper. 3) Second Line Connection - Use the Oasis valve to double tap the hydrant. - Connect the second line from the “To Relay Pump Inlet” port to a second intake on the pumper. 4) Want Step 4 and more? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ghkGkdAx for the full episode plus checklist! Goal: Learn how to connect multiple lines for superior water flow when you have limited equipment or need an alternate strategy. #Firefighting #HydrantOperations #TripleTap #FireSafety #FireDepartment #firefighting

Want to increase the life of a force main or water main? Utilize a surge tank. They will eliminate water hammer and surge events that cause damage to the system during normal operation when pumps are cycling and when there is a power outage.

Love the concept of wastewater force mains as unsung heroes who do the heavy lifting. Let's sing their praises AND prevent failures by using pressure data to diagnose performance issues and stress factors. If you are at the Florida Water Resources Conference, please attend my presentation on this topic with Jacob McGough (Environmental MD, Inc., a DXP Company) and Gwenn A. Phalempin (Charlatte America) on 4/3!

🚨 Unlock the Secrets to Hydrant Mastery with TFT’s New Series! 🔥 Are you a municipal firefighter looking to enhance your skills and tackle hydrant challenges head-on? Join Andy Soccodato and The Water Thieves in our latest series, where you’ll learn 5 essential tactics to overcome the most common hydrant problems. What You’ll Learn: ➡️ Forward Lay: Establish a reliable water supply line when friction between hydrant and pumper is limiting available water ➡️ In-Line Relay: Boost water pressure for distant fires. Learn to tie relay pumper into the mix to overcome friction in a long lay without interrupting the flow to the fire scene. ➡️ Low-Flow Hydrant: Maximize water output effectively. ➡️ Heavy Hydrant: When you want to heavy hook to a hydrant with at least 3 supply lines but you have only 1 gate valve ➡️ Blocked Hydrant: Overcome physical obstructions. 🛠️ Each episode is packed with expert tips and real-world applications to ensure you’re prepared for any situation 🎥 Visit https://lnkd.in/gpk5N9Xx and take the first step towards becoming a hydrant problem-solving expert! #FirefighterTraining #HydrantTactics #TaskForceTips #MunicipalFirefighting #firefighter #fire #hydrant

Personal watercraft (PWCs) are a great option for those looking to get out on the water and have an exhilarating time. If you want one but don’t know which kind is best for you, this guide can help: https://bit.ly/3x22PtN

How well does your silt fence filter runoff? If your silt fence is blinding off after the first rain event, allowing turbid water to create more issues, it might be time to consider a superior solution. 400EO Silt Fence has an 89% filtering efficiency (ASTM D5141), allowing filtered runoff to pass through the monofilament fabric while sediment is retained.

Choose the right pressure gauge to maximize accuracy and gauge life. Too low a range risks damage and reduced gauge life. Too high a range can provide inadequate resolution for proper readings. #fireprotection #firepumps #firehydrant #fireprotectionengineering #riskengineering #firepump #fireprotectionsystems #ashcroft

Hytrans water transport systems use high-quality hoses to supply large volumes of water over long distances. Our StrateLine hoses are available in 8”, 10”, and 12” diameters. To minimize operational risks, they are designed to have a very low length elongation of less than 1.5%. Made from natural rubber, StrateLine hoses have high pressure and burst ratings, low weight, small bend radii, and high resistance to ozone, abrasion, and heat. As fast deployment is crucial during emergencies, Strateline hoses come with robust MultiLug couplings that can withstand high-ground impact at speed. Made from high-grade aluminum, these couplings need only a 5-degree twist to safely lock. Due to the patented chamfered lugs, the Hytrans MultiLug couplings are easy to open, allowing for quick emptying of the hoses when needed.   𝙃𝙮𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨, 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙛! #hoses #emergencies #firefighting #firefightingequipment
