Flow based on 6" hard-piped dry hydrant plus 10' hardsleeve connection.
See Application Challenge 3 for setup.
 
  1. Theoretical, based on test curves of 9/21/99 and hose friction loss per NFPA® Fire Protection Handbook, 15th Edition, Table 17-7H, actual friction losses may vary depending upon hose and coupling design/manufacturer.
  2. All flows achievable with 1,000 GPM rated pumper based on NFPA recommended pump curves. Use larger pumper where maintenance/ performance is questionable.
  3. Minimum available flow from a water source recognized by ISO for grading purposes is 250 GPM. ISO does not recognize drafting sources requiring a lift in excess of 18' (This is not a drafting device as it operates under pressure.)
