Performance
  • Determine Required Nozzle Flow Pressure
  • Determine Hose Size and Length
  • At the Nozzle Flow Determine the Lose in the Hose
    in PSI
  • Add in Anticipated Elevation Changes at 1PSI / 2
    Ft
  • Add Nozzle PSI Hose Lose PSI Elevation Change
    PSI Required Pump Pressure at the Required
    Nozzle Flow
