Thanks for your help. This nozzle was designed by a engineer but he passed away prior to install. They have it resolved.

Too often in these situations, equipment is put in without thought for the final user or for equipment intention--but simply to check a box on a planner. (This is not the fault of the fire protection contractor, it is a lack of understanding of the situation on the part of the client/owner/operator). What is the protection purpose, cooling or extinguishment? Do you intend for mobile as well as a fixed monitor strategy? Who is intended to operate: site/proprietary fire response familiar with equipment, or local & surrounding fire department no so familiar? Having a radiation shield (i.e. dike wall) will help set up/placement of either mobile or fixed monitors. What are the other fire hazards besides the tank that can affect setup or operation or survivability of hose? Do you have sufficient hose for mobile set up and does it match threads of fire response equipment? Does anyone care to think about a backup plan in case the monitor and/or other fixed fire equipment don't survive the initiating event? Do you have enough water supply and boost to meet the new and increased demands of extinguishment and cooling-ops for the duration of the campaign? scot deal excelsior fire -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
