Models 292-6H, 293-6H, AND 299-11H (750 GPM Max.)
I. Product Safety
Important:
Before installing and operating this equipment, read and study these
instructions thoroughly. Proper installation is essential to safe operation. In addition, the
following points should be adhered to in order to ensure the safety of equipment and
personnel:
A. All personnel who may be expected to use this equipment must be thoroughly
trained in its safe and proper use.
B. Before flowing water from this device, check that all personnel (fire service
and civilian) are out of the stream path. Also, check to make sure stream
direction will not cause avoidable property damage.
C. Become thoroughly familiar with the hydraulic characteristics of this
equipment, and the pumping system used to supply it. To produce effective
fire streams, operating personnel must be properly trained.
D. Open water valve supplying this equipment slowly, so that the piping fills
slowly, thus preventing possible water hammer occurrence.
E. After each use, and on a scheduled basis, inspect equipment per instructions in
IV Maintenance and Inspection.
II. Semi-Permanent Installation
A. Prepare Base
1. Pour concrete slab at base of hydrant as shown in Figure 1. Very soft or
wet soil conditions may require larger pad size than specified.
2. Set two eyebolts in wet concrete, 10” from end of hydrant nipple, 8-1/2”
apart, with top of eyebolt 3-1/2” above surface of concrete. If a valve is to
be installed between hydrant nipple and monitor elbow, adjust 10”
dimension to compensate for valve.
3. After concrete has set up, insert the short bent end of threaded rods through
eyebolts, and secure with handwheels at position “A”.
