As for the no. of 'Discharges' (sounds like you should go to the doctors about that) SAMFS pumps these days seem to have the standard 4 Deliveries, with 4 Collectors, either stand alone or adapted off the 100mm (?) inlet, with a separate Tank Fill inlet.

Mostly 2 in, single nozzle. (Specs vary on exact brand and capabilities of individual Monitor.)

I think the average would be about 1000lpm though on an mfs pumper?

It depends, your standard Akron Apollo Monitor (pretty common across Aus) works at about 3000lpm as a ground monitor or 4800lpm as a deck gun.

Post by: big bronto on November 19, 2008, 07:59:08 AM: Most ground monitors will range anywhere between 1250-2000lpm and on top your looking at least 3000lpm+. Some are single 64mm feed some are two and to get a good flow on your deck gun you will need at least 2 good feeds to maintain a good flow.

Post by: TillerMan on November 23, 2008, 10:51:39 AM: All newer SAMFS appliances are 4 in and 4 out, the 4 in come off of the 140mm suction inlet which needs to be removed whilst draughting.
