  • 2 ½” Hose Nozzle Replacement
    2 ½” HOSE NOZZLE REPLACEMENT All American-Darling Fire Hydrants Manufactured From 2005 Through 2011 WARNING: EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN WORKING WITH PRESSURE CONTAINING DEVICES. POTENTIAL HAZARD - FAILURE TO RELIEVE HYDRANT CAP PRESSURE CAN RESULT IN THE CAP OR NOZZLE BLOWING OFF, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF A HYDRANT NOZZLE WHEN OPERATING A HYDRANT. To ensure the hydrant is not charged with pressure when removing a cap, it is considered safe practice to close the auxiliary gate valve in the lateral water line between the main line and the fire hydrant. Nozzle Verification 1. Take care to follow proper safety procedures. Be sure to wear eye protection and gloves when working on a fire hydrant. DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF A FIRE HYDRANT NOZZLE. 2. Verify the hydrant to be remediated is an American- Darling fire hydrant marked with a 2005 to 2011 manufacture date. This date is cast on the top, front of the hydrant upper barrel just above the pumper nozzle. 3. Remove the hose nozzle caps. The inside surface of each nozzle has an as-cast identification mark. In some cases the mark may be in the top of the nozzle, Figure 1- American-Darling Hose Nose Nozzle and it may be necessary to use a mirror, or even Exhibiting "S" Casting Mark remove the nozzle, to more easily see it. The mark is 6. NOTE: Excluded from this service notice are a limited just above the vendor ID “WN25OR”. As detailed in number of American-Darling hydrants produced in Figure 1, the nozzle ID cast marking is an “S”, “L”, or 2006 using the Amlok nozzle system.

  • Planning a Hose and Nozzle System for Effective Operations by Jay Comella, Lieutenant Oakland Fire Department
    By firefighters, for firefighters Firenuggets.com Planning a Hose and Nozzle System for Effective Operations By Jay Comella, Lieutenant Oakland Fire Department The Oakland (Calif.) Fire Department (OFD) convened a Board of Inquiry to investigate the line-of-duty- death of Firefighter Tracy Toomey, who died on January 10, 1999. The fire building at 3052 Broadway was a two-story, balloon-frame building of mixed occupancy, with a residential area over the commercial premises. It was not an unusual building for Oakland. On arrival, the first-alarm companies encountered a heavy fire condition on the first floor with extension up the stairway. They made an aggressive interior attack using multiple 1½-inch handlines. Fire was not extinguished in time to prevent the loss of structural integrity. The resulting collapse of the second floor into the first floor killed one OFD member and left two others with career-ending injuries. One of the three direct causes the Board of Inquiry report cited for the line-of- duty death was the inability of 1½-inch hose to flow sufficient water to extinguish the heavy volume of fire encountered. (1) Left to right: automatic nozzle (50-350 gpm), adjustable-gallonage nozzle (30-60- The report further recommended using 1¾-inch hose to 90-125 gpm @ 100 psi), constant-gallonage remedy insufficient fire flow volume of the 1½-inch hose. nozzle (150 gpm @ 50 psi), and 15/16-inch By simply upgrading from 1½-inch to 1¾-inch hose, the smooth-bore nozzle (180 gpm @ 50 psi). OFD could eliminate fully one-third of the direct causes (Photos by Daryl Liggins.) cited by the Board of Inquiry.

They mainly address vessel stability, fuel tanks and systems. ■ Pollution & Sanitation Regulations are covered in the Canada Shipping Act SOR/2012- 69 “Vessel Pollution and Dangerous Chemicals Regulations” 4 TP1332e ■ Pretty broad and vague, but includes exhaust systems, fuel systems, bilge pump requirements, waste, and more. ABYC ■ These are our “go to” Marine Standards with a searchable online database. Considered to be industry best practices. ■ Technicians can take courses with ABYC and must now re-certify every 5 year ■ Generally each system on a vessel has its own code, but for example “plumbing” is too broad and is broken down into hull penetrations, bilge pumps, water systems, etc. 5 REFERENCE MATERIAL 6 Recommended Books ■ Nigel Calder: Boat Owner’s Mechanical and Electrical Manual ■ Nigel Calder: Marine Diesel Engines (includes DIY Engine Survey)

  • The Complete Diving System 2 Divator Product Overview
    PRODUCT OVERVIEW DIVATOR THE COMPLETE DIVING SYSTEM 2 DIVATOR PRODUCT OVERVIEW A tragic bus accident in Sweden after the Second World War raised the concern that divers could not be quickly deployed to the crash site. The Swedish government asked Interspiro (“AGA” at that time) if they could provide a rapid deployment diving device for search and rescue operations. Interspiro began an extensive research program and in 1948 the Worlds first underwater breathing apparatus for search and rescue was presented to the Swedish authorities. The device, commonly referred to as the “iron bed” (because of the shape of the carrying frame), featured a breathing valve with inhalation and exhalation in the same diaphragm. The first of many Interspiro innovations in the field of diving. Today, over 60 years later, the latest generation of Interspiro SCUBA – DIVATOR – is still the preferred choice for professional divers around the World. The Interspiro diving philosophy is a system approach. The reason is simple and obvious, to obtain the highest possible safety level for professional divers. © 2015 Interspiro AB, Sweden.
