Installation
Depending on your model and configuration ordered, you may require additional
accessories from WATERAX or from third-party vendors, for example, control panels,
batteries, and fuel lines. You will also require hoses and nozzles as well as other fire
apparatus plumbing which can be purchased through your WATERAX representative.
Follow the instructions and heed all warnings in any documentation that you receive with
the accessories you purchase.
Plumbing
When mounting manifolds to the pump, the manifolds must be self-supporting and
coupled to the pump by means of a flex coupling such as a Victaulic® coupling or flex
hose.
Pump End Mounting
The pump end can be rotated to aid with the apparatus piping connections. The quick
release pump clamp securely holds the pump end in the desired position. Always ensure
that the water can be drained from the pump end to keep it from cracking in freezing
weather. A drain valve is available from WATERAX (item no 801104).
Fastening to Truck/Apparatus
When adding any equipment to a vehicle, follow all instructions and heed all warnings
provided by manufacturers of the apparatus and any third-party accessories. WATERAX
provides certain accessories used in vehicle-mount configurations of the BB-4 series
pumps. Follow all documentation that ships with any accessories you have ordered such
as vibration mounts or rails. Your company's internal policies and guidelines must also be
followed.
Before installing the pump in a vehicle, plan for adequate access to any fill caps such as
those for oil, fuel or coolant (if applicable), as well as any other part of the pump or engine
that is frequently accessed or inspected (valves, panels, primers, filters, etc.). Make note
of components that become hot when operating such as mufflers and engine blocks, and
always ensure a safe clearance around them.
