How to Conduct a Fire Pump Flow Test | Hose Monster University

An annual #firepump #flowtest is a key step in ensuring the proper functioning of a fire protection system. In this video, we show you how simple it is to flow test a fire pump using Hose Monster's patented Pitotless Nozzles and Little Hose Monsters. It’s the most accurate way to gauge your fire pump's flow.

Thanks for the question. Using the Monster Tester manifold, each line was flowed separately , 'set' to a known flow rate pressure then isolated. As more valves were opened, previously 'set' valves were revisited and corrected to the known flow rate pressure. To achieve accurate flow rates each line must be verified individually. You would never open all valves and attempt to take a single gauge reading.

what was your PSI with all 3 manifolds open during this test?
