TWO STAGE TRANSFER VALVE
The transfer valve shall be of the latest ball type design. The valve shall be all bronze construction and incorporate a
hydraulically balanced seal to minimize leakage around the ball and assure maximum pump efficiency. The transfer valve
shall operate smoothly without sticking, even when it is exposed to sandy or dirty water.
The transfer valve shall be operated by an electric actuator that will be controlled by a switch on the pump operator's
panel. There shall be two (2) indicator lights to show when the pump is operating in pressure or volume mode.
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES FIRE PUMP TEST
The pump shall undergo an Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated test per applicable sections of NFPA standards, prior
to delivery of the completed apparatus.
The UL acceptance certificate shall be furnished with the apparatus on delivery.
FIRE PUMP TEST LABEL
A fire pump performance and rating label shall be installed on the fire apparatus pump panel. The label shall denote levels
of pump performance and testing completed at factory. These shall include GPM at net pump pressure, RPM at such
level, and other pertinent data as required by applicable NFPA standards. In addition, the pressure control device, tank to
pump flow tests, and other required testing shall be completed.
In addition, the entire pump, suction and discharge passages shall be hydrostatically tested to a pressure as required by
applicable NFPA standards. The pump shall be fully tested at the pump manufacturer's factory to the performance
specifications as outlined by applicable NFPA standards.
UL PUMP CERTIFICATION
The fire pump shall be tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories, to perform as listed below:
 100% of rated capacity at 150 psi, 1000 kPa net pressure.
 70% of rated capacity at 200 psi, 1350 kPa net pressure.
 50% of rated capacity at 250 psi, 1700 kPa net pressure.
The entire pump, both suction and discharge passages, shall be hydrostatically tested to a pressure of 500 PSI.
The pump shall be free from objectionable pulsation under all normal operating conditions.
ALTITUDE REQUIREMENT
The apparatus shall be designed to meet the specified rating at 7,000 feet altitude.
WATEROUS PUMP ANODES
