What are the system pressures from the fire pump churn and rated psi? Will the fire truck draw from the same 12" water supply? The fire pump may shut down if the pumper provides adequate pressure. Fore severe demand use the UL fire pump may exceed the truck's ability to maintain flow and pressure.

The pump in turn feeds a 10" UG fire loop that runs around the building. The FDC connection is located away from the building and connects to the 10" fire loop. A fire hydrant supplied from the municipal water supply is located next to the FDC. So the pumper truck will hook up to the municipal hydrant and pump into the FDC for the UG loop. Do you see any potential problems with a pumper truck, rated for 1700 GPM, pumping into a fire loop supplied by a 2000GPM fire pump?
