Those Knox fdc caps are such a grift. They market them so well as "high security" and have got them written into so many city codes, including Fort Worth, that they can charge $600 (!!!) a pair. The wrenches are as easy to get as elevator keys lmao, I have one.
I’m wondering why you need 3 engines to supply. Can’t they just Hooke the hydrant straight to truck 2 instead?? And then used truck 3 to feed another stand pipe if there is 2 or just to run a line if that makes sense for the layout? Or is there a reason you want to do it this way? Besides being able to and less stress on equipment type stuff?
In FWFD we use 1st E as Fire Attack, 2nd E ties to standpipe to feed Fire Attack, 3rd E ties to water supply and feeds 2nd E. Running two engines in a series allows for higher pressure pumping to elevations above 20th floor.
This fried my brain. For each floor, raise pressure by 5 psi. That's about 10 feet of head per floor. But I'm in a metric country. around 3m per floor, and about 33kPa per floor. I'm originally from the US and was raised on US units, but quickly switched to metric. Now, I have trouble code switching, especially for new things learned after I moved to a metric country. It's a shame the US is so reluctant to join the rest of the world to use the metric system.

I have never seen those fdc caps before, quite interesting

Had the same question. Good explanation, thx for the video
@fortworthfiredepartmenttra3428 doesn't your city mandate a fire pump every 10 floors?
in the beginning it says "HIGHRISE WATTER OPS" I think there is only supposed to be one t not two

Why are the US firetrucks carrying so much needless crap like all the chrome/spinny/flashy shit?
Because we like it
