when the parking brake is disengaged.
PUMP Bidder Complies: Yes ( ) No ( )
Pump shall be a low profile, 1500 gpm single stage midship mounted centrifugal type, mounted below
the cab. The pump shall have a 15 percent reserve capacity to allow for extended time between pump
rebuild. To ensure efficient pump/vehicle design the capacity to weight ratio shall not be less than
1.5:1.
The pump casing shall consist of three (3) discharge outlets, one (1) to each side in line with the
impeller and one (1) to the rear. The pump casing shall incorporate two (2) water strippers to
maintain radial balance.
Pump shall be the Class A type.
Pump shall be certified to deliver the percentage of rated discharge from draft at pressure indicated
below:
- 100 percent of rated capacity at 150 psi net pump pressure
- 70 percent of rated capacity at 200 psi net pump pressure
- 50 percent of rated capacity at 250 psi net pump pressure
The pump shall have the capacity to deliver the percentage of rated discharge from a pressurized
source as indicated below:
- 135 percent of rated capacity at 100 psi net pump pressure from a 5 psi source
Pump body shall be fine-grained gray iron. Pump shall incorporate a heater/cooling jacket integral to
