Description Connects with STD BS336 Instantaneous Connector. A branch pipe is a device attached to a coupling at the end of a fire hose that directs, shapes and regulates the flow of the extinguishing fluid. Branch pipes are a great asset to firefighters, allowing them to steer the right amount of suppressing agent to the affected area.

Davey Single Impeller Skid Unit

Description This high quality single impeller skid unit includes a 30m delivery hose and a 5m suction hose assembly, complete with quick coupling on suction. It is best suited for a medium volume application. Specifications includes: Flow rate: 500LPM@7Bar 30m drag line delivery hose 5m suction hose assembly German designed AWG mini jet/spray nozzle Excellent spray reach of >20m 3 Hose outlets (hose reel incl.) 650L step tank Genuine Honda GX160, 5.5HP engine Able to switch between applications while engine is running Davey Firefighter pumps are available in petrol or diesel and single or double stage versions with three or four-way discharges. Petrol driven models are powered by an industry leading Honda petrol engines, while diesel models benefit from a Yanmar diesel engine. Patented clamped impeller designs enable a longer impeller life, improved performance and easier disassembly in the case of blockage. Pump casings, diffusers and impellers are manufactured from quality corrosion resistant marine grade aluminium for longevity. The pumps boast patented floating impeller neckrings on the front and back. The front neckring helps improve pumping efficiency, while the back neckring helps extend seal life and dramatically reduces engine wear. Self-priming from 6 m for the single stage model and 7 m for the twin stage model allows for more versatile installation options. Further, the pumps also feature low-oil protection on all models. This feature prevents the engine from starting or running if the oil level is inadequate, thus protecting the engine. Electric start models have an electric starter, which requires batteries and leads. Models fitted with recoil starters ensure a choice of starting methods, even if the battery is flat or removed. How do I choose my Davey Firefighter? The first step in benefiting from the Davey Firefighter is choosing the best pump for the application at hand. First, the user needs to choose between single stage and twin stage models. The two models share many of the same great features but the twin model’s double impeller design provides extra strong pressure for longer and higher pumping applications such as uphill applications. The single stage provides a versatility of high flow rates. The single stage models can be identified by their yellow pump casing, while the twin stage has a red pump casing. Secondly, choose between petrol and diesel. Petrol is recommended for intermittent use, while if the pump is going to be used for prolonged periods, the diesel models are better suited. The range of petrol engines starts with the Honda GX160 (163CC). The diesel Yanmar engines start at 320CC up to the top of the range at 430CC. Thirdly, decide between pull and electric start. Electric start models simply start easier, but pull starters power-up without the use of batteries. Fourthly, use an estimate of the volumes of water that will have to be pumped to decide on an engine size. The larger the volume of water the bigger the required engine capacity. This will also help you dictate what size tank to choose.

Davey Twin Impeller Skid Unit

The twin impeller skid unit includes a 60m delivery hose and a 5m suction hose assembly that is ideal for high volume application. The unit includes quick coupling on suction. High pressure mobile firefighting units are also available. Specifications includes: Flow rate: 400LPM@10Bar 60m drag line delivery hose 5m suction hose assembly German designed AWG mini jet/spray nozzle Excellent spray reach of >20m 3 Hose outlets (hose reel incl.) 700L T-style tank with baffle plates Genuine Honda GX160, 5.5HP engine Able to switch between applications while engine is running MORE than just meets the eye Fitted with Davey’s legendary Firefighter pump, the SKID unit can be used for fire fighting, tanker to tanker water transfer, high head general water transfer, sheep jetting/washing/disinfecting, irrigation and boom spraying. One of the value added benefits when it comes to using one of our SKID units for fire fighting, is that it can be used to transfer water from any kind of nearby water source to the tanker when its runs empty during fire fighting. “For example if a fire fighter has a tank on the back of his bakkie, he can simply back up to a water source and use the skid unit in a transfer configuration to pump water into the tank, before switching it back into its fire fighting mode,” explains Koorts. He also explains that one of the biggest benefits is that the fire fighter doesn’t have to switch of the engine during this process and due to the overflow function can keep the engine running, while driving to the fire. This same water transfer function can be used to extinguish fires using water directly from the source and to move volumes of water in flood situations.
