Subject: RE: Flow Test

It is my understaning that you are supposed to flow enough water to get
a minimum drop of 10% in the static pressure.  If a single 2?" outlet
doesn't do it, you may need to open a 2nd, or the 4" connection.  Be
sure to do the proper modifications to the formula if you use the pumper
connection.

Subject: Flow Test

Is there any reason to flow (2) 2-1/2" outlets for a flow test?


Both outlets are being flowed at the same time, on the same hydrant.
