Operating Manual


Unit Testing

• A simple test can be performed to determine the fire flow of a given water source.

• In addition to the TurboDraft setup, connect a master stream device with a straight bore nozzle.

• See page 12 to determine the estimated fire flow for your location and required nozzle bore for deck gun.

• Place the TurboDraft unit in operation as shown in the TurboDraft Set-Up images.

• Once the water supply is established, start flowing water to the deck gun and continue to increase water flow to the deck gun until the 5 inch line from the TurboDraft starts to get soft. At this point you have reached the maximum flow.

• Read the pressure at the deck gun. Refer to Chart 3 below to determine the flow for the deck gun at that pressure.
