Actually, it's around 106 gallons per 100 feet of 5 inch hose.
The advantage is that the friction loss coefficient is 0.08 for 5 inch compared to a coefficient of 2 for 2.5 inch.
do you remember what dept. Im from lancaster pa
Our dept. has been using ldh since the early 80's. We carry approx. 4500' on 4 rigs and our other twp. department carries at least 3000'. It has little friction loss. The only down fall is repacking all that hose but I'd rather have the supply vs ...
My department uses 5" ldh for water supply. We are a 100% hydranted district. We lay upwards of 1500 feet in some situations and it supplies us all the water we need. When we made the conversion we were the only departmetn in our town to have it a...

- Hello Chief, I thought about your question and I am trying to find a check list that I had. We made up a list of what to check. If I find it I will let you know.

I keep my "friends" list to a page or two so I can see who's on at a glance...
Nice to "meet" you, though - good luck with the LDH and the aerial, and by all means, drop a comment any time. Looks like you've got a steady operation there. I like the turret on the front of your brush rig. :)

I was born in Homestead Fla. moved to Paragould when I was six. If there was jobs available we might move back. I love it in Ark.
