Putting Preconnects on Old Apparatus
使用小的聪明才智和一些基本的机械skills, members of the Hampden Township, Pa., Volunteer Fire Department installed two preconnected lines on a front-mount pump and put additional preconnected lines on a 1250-gpm pumper and a squad truck.
The front-mount pump on our 1000-gallon tanker gave us our greatest problem. It first looked as though it would be impossible to install preconnects without doing an expensive piping job. However, one of our fire fighters came up with the idea to build a rack to hold two hose trays above the pump. Other volunteers with appropriate mechanical skills then built the trays to hold two 150-foot lengths of U/2-inch preconnected hose.
