What is the thinking behind not having any 2 1/2 with the 1 3/4? Wouldn’t that be a high PDP?

[@njemergencychaser5508]

We pump our 400 at 170psi 15/16 in tip we get down to 50psi at the tip with 175 gpm. The old style of 2 1/2 with a gate down to 1 3/4 is old and has man more factors to consider then just straight pumping one size hose

@@njemergencychaser5508 makes sense with today’s hose technology

Sloppy!!! Why not just have your shoulder load (pipe section) just 100', your second shoulder load 150, and 150 drag? This method depicted in your video seems time consuming.
