Inflate your Frontier Rescue Raft/Boat faster with the Spider Fill.
The Spider Fill comes with five valves with independent shut-offs to
connect to each valve of the Raft/Boat and can be hooked up to a
standard 2216/4500psi SCBA bottle.
Note: It is important to not over fill the boat as it is designed to hold 5psi maximum and the floor is 10psi maximum.
It will take 5 to 8 minutes to fill your boat with the foot pump and about two minutes with the spider fill hose.
Your rescue boat comes with five fill chambers. Each chamber
has its own check valve. These check valves can be opened to drain the air
before storing your rescue boat away. Note: it is recommended you store your boat
with the check valves closed as they should be closed during filling, so the
air does not leak out when removing the fill hose.
If using the spider fill connection, you can hook up all
fill valves at once and fill direct from a SCBA bottle, either 4500 or 2216psi.
Caution not to over fill as 5psi is all that is needed. All check valves should
remain closed. Once the boat is filled shut off all valves before removing the
connections to prevent air from leaking out.
It is very important for your department to train on filling
and deflating this boat so there is no surprises at an emergency scene.
