Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. <br />only). Check valve shall prevent high capacity "back -flow" of water from the pump -to -tank, if the tank <br />suction valve is inadvertently left open. <br />TANK -TO -PUMP LOCKING CONTROL, "PULL TO OPEN" <br />Specified tank -to -pump suction valve is to be remote controlled with lever style valve actuator and a <br />manual push-pull style operator's panel control, with trigger style locking control handle. The <br />tank -to -pump suction valve control is to be "In -Closed" and "Out -Open". <br />TANK REFILL, 2" BALL VALVE <br />One (1), gated 2" tank fill discharge line, extending from pressure side of fire pump to water tank is to be <br />furnished, with: female TIPT tank fill spud located in upper portion of water tank, high pressure wire <br />reinforced 2" hose with stainless steel grooved Victaulic end couplings, 2" Akron 8000 series bronze <br />1/4-turn self-locking ball style discharge valve configured for manual valve control located on the pump <br />operator's control panel, and a nameplate to read: "TANK FILL". <br />WATER TANK REFILL CONTROL, "PULL TO OPEN", TOP -CONTROL PANEL <br />Specified water tank refill discharge valve is to be remote controlled with lever style valve actuator and a <br />manual push-pull style operator's panel control, with trigger style locking (for throttling) control handle. <br />Tank refill valve control is to be "Rearward (push) -Closed" and "Forward (pull) -Open". <br />PUMP MOUNTING, FULL -BODY MID -SHIP PUMP WITH SPLIT -SHAFT <br />The specified full body mid -ship pump system, with its integral split -shaft pump transmission, shall be <br />independently mounted on a "pump house" sub -frame which itself is to be bolted to and easily removable <br />from the chassis frame rails. The sub -frame shall consist of a two (2) each .25" Stainless Steel fabricated <br />Z-irons which rest on the top flange of the chassis frame rails; and are sandwich bolted to the outboard <br />chassis frame webs. This design shall provide for a "rigid" mount of the pump house, and perfect <br />horizontal and vertical alignment with the apparatus body, running boards always remaining in alignment <br />with apparatus body rub rails. The pump house is to be located no more than one (1) inch forward of <br />apparatus body, and two (2) inches rearward of the chassis cab. <br />The fire pump shall be mounted to the pump house sub -frame with angular brackets that are solid <br />mounted one side of pump, castering opposite side (as recommended by pump manufacturer), so as to <br />prevent imposing of torque/twisting loads on the full body pump castings. Pump mount brackets are to be <br />placed at the same relative angle as engine/transmission and the rear axle. <br />Pump mounting brackets and pump house sub -frame shall be primer painted and urethane painted to <br />match pump or chassis frame rails. <br />07/26/22 <br />-77- <br />
