BRASS NOZZLE
One with quick coupling provided as standard with unit. The 20mm brass nozzle is supplied with a ball valve to allow for the control of the flow rate at the nozzle point. Two nozzles can be used simultaneously.
VALVE SYSTEM
Providing dual suction from “bakkie” unit tank or external source. High pressure delivery through hose reel and / or three way outlet branch on pump head, bulk water delivery directly into “Bakkie” tank or to external tank/point.
ENGINE
Standardly powered by a variety of engines – Honda or Robin and also with Sinopower diesel engine.
SUCTION PIPING

It is suggested that the 40mm quick return delivery valve is opened full when priming. In the event of priming from the tank for fire fighting,this valve would be closed once pump is delivering water so as to obtain pressure through nozzle.
