WATER DELIVERY COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES Hose Test and Maintenance Equipment D. Hose Test and Maintenance Equipment Testing and maintenance equipment for hoses and fire pumps is available from fire equipment companies. This type of equipment is useful in fire cache maintenance facilities and in fire stations. For proper maintenance, hoses should be washed, dried, and repaired. Pumps should be cleaned, adjusted, and repaired. Engines, pumps, and hoses should be pressure tested. All this requires appropriate tools and equipment. See appendix C for gauge quality and accuracy information. 2. Hose washers a. Mechanical hose washer 1. In-line gauge Type: Powered mechanical hose washer. Construction and material: Inlet for water-source connection. Uniform washing, multiple scrub brushes, oneperson operation. Use clear water or detergent. Purpose: High-volume hose washing. Available: Fire equipment suppliers (see appendix G). b. Manual hose washer Type: In-line pump discharge pressure. Construction and material: Short tube inlet and male outlet, and a pressure gauge on the side of the tube. Female end may be swiveled and have lugs. Hose threads are on both ends. Sizes are varied up to 22 inches. Pressure gauge ranges up to 600 psi. The tube is made of steel or brass. Purpose: Testing pump discharge and hose pressure performance. Available: Fire equipment suppliers (see appendix G). Type: Cylinder. Construction: Cylinder with 12-inch water source connection. Action: Hose is passed through cylinder against water stream so that dislodged particles are washed away from hose. Available: Fire equipment suppliers (see appendix G). 149
WATER DELIVERY COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES Hose Test and Maintenance Equipment 3. Hose dryers a. Electric dryer b. Air dryers Typical hose drying rack. Though many fire control agencies rely on air-drying of fire hose, mechanical dryers are available with either gas or electric heat for fast, safe, and effective drying of fire hose as well as clothing. The systems work with prewarmed dry air circulating through the drying chamber with five to six air changes per minute. Available: Fire equipment suppliers (see appendix G).
