Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. <br />The pump shall be capable of taking suction and discharging water with a lift of 10 ft. in not more than <br />30 seconds with the pump dry, through 20 ft. of suction hose of appropriate size. It shall be capable of <br />developing a vacuum of 22" at an altitude of up to 1000 ft. <br />A high capacity positive displacement priming system shall be furnished, consisting of: a Waterous VPO <br />rotary vane priming pump with 12-volt electric motor drive. Priming pump is to be mounted beneath fire <br />pump, with bottom water discharge directed to the ground. <br />HALE MANUAL/ELECTRIC ACTIVATED PRIMING VALVE <br />There is to be a Hale model Manual Pull-Spring-Return/Electric activated priming valve supplied with <br />the pump. The valve is to be installed on the pump panel, and designed to self drain. <br />PRE -PRIME - PASSENGER'S SIDE SUCTION <br />A passenger's side suction inlet "pre -prime" system shall be furnished, consisting of: one (1) remote <br />mounted manual/electric priming valve assembly, non -collapsible vacuum hose between priming valve <br />and above specified priming pump, non -collapsible vacuum hose between priming valve and passenger's <br />side suction inlet (upstream of gate valve), and operator's panel mounted pull/spring-return control with <br />nameplate. Installation of this priming valve assembly shall allow "pre -priming" of the passenger's side <br />suction with its gate valve closed. <br />PRE -PRIME - DRIVER'S SIDE SUCTION <br />A driver's side suction inlet "pre -prime" system shall be furnished, consisting of: one (1) remote mounted <br />manual/electric priming valve assembly, non -collapsible vacuum hose between priming valve and above <br />specified priming pump, non -collapsible vacuum hose between priming valve and passenger's side <br />suction inlet (upstream of gate valve), and operator's panel mounted pull/spring-return control with <br />nameplate. Installation of this priming valve assembly shall allow "pre -priming" of the driver's side <br />suction with its gate valve closed. <br />PRE -PRIME - REAR SUCTION <br />An additional manual/electric priming valve assembly shall be furnished, piped to the rear suction, <br />immediately upstream of the rear suction butterfly valve. This second priming valve shall be piped to <br />above specified priming pump so as to allow "pre -priming" of the rear suction with rear suction valve <br />closed. Rear suction priming valve to include pump operator's panel mounted pull/spring-return control <br />and nameplate. <br />STAINLESS STEEL TUBULAR PUMP SUCTION INLET AUXILIARY PIPING <br />07/26/22 <br />-74- <br />
