Join me, Wranglerstar, as I prepare for the upcoming wildland fire season with my Honda Pioneer and Qtac fire skid. In today’s video, I’ll show you how to defend your homestead, especially when fire departments are stretched too thin and the safety of your home might depend on you.
We'll start by getting the fire skid ready and head out to a nearby stream to draft water. I’ll explain the drafting process used by wildland firefighters, demonstrating step-by-step how to pull a draft with the pump.
For the grand finale, we’ll conduct a flow test to see which frost-free hydrant will fill the Qtac’s 85-gallon water tank the fastest: the 1" or the 3/4". Stay tuned and don’t miss the excitement!
Don’t forget to visit Wranglerstarmerch.com for exclusive gear and special offers. Orders placed today include a special gift and free shipping. Our shirts are 100% USA-made and available for $40.

The flow rate issue is likely due to the hydrant needing adjustment. They don’t always come setup to go full chooch out the box. Should be a set screw where the lever arm connects to the lifting rod. Adjust accordingly

@marinsender5677 Ай бұрын

You could test the pressure at both water faucets while they're running which would give you a better idea of why the 1" flow rate is lower.

@MrWiggenhammer Ай бұрын

This is the right answer. Also keep in mind that the 3/4" is closer to the source and the 1" one has some length of pipe from the split. If you want to make a full comparison, the 3/4" would need to run a same length of pipe. Of course it could also be something in the faucets.

Not sure what "some people" are complaining about. I'd ask, are you not entertained? I appreciate all your work assessing a wide range of gear and tools, and also the planning and building. I particularly like the use of tools and maintaining and operating equipment. You show how you got there and are honest if there is a mistake. I have not the slightest issue with the fact that you can afford high value items. It is part of the buy quality and buy less philosophy and it is apparent throughout the production. If a viewer has any sense at all they know content creation of this kind is a lot of work. All the very best to you and yours.

@lonnieblankenship8637 Ай бұрын

You're getting less water flow due to the larger diameter of the pipe size. It's going to flow slower because it's less pressure in a 1 inch compared to a 3/4 inch pipe. It's also why usually there is a difference in wall thickness in different sized pipes to hold the pressure. The pressure from the main is continuous unless you reduce the size of the pipe.

I have pulled a draft at 18 feet but I will say the pump packings were 100% and the primer pump was in great working order, 6 inch intake, camlock hoses and what a joy to watch that water climb to the top. My gator I have a 100 gallon tank with the pressure washer, used for pressure washing and I did utilize it for some wildland use a half dozen years back, fill the bladder bags from the tank dump and dig in deep with the pressure washer. Worked the fire for three days, long days a few dozen folks working in less than great terrain.

Hey cody when installing the line to your 1 inch tap you need to account for friction loss over the distance you are running. being a plumber in aus I would run no less than 1"and a quarter to 1"and a half under ground if going a distance away from mains to account, then raise up out of ground in 25mm or 1 inch.

Slower due to friction loss over the distance to the shop? Longer pipe requires upsizing to reduce friction loss as I’m sure you already know. It’s possible that while the other is 3/4, it’s a shorter run to the mainline, whatever that may be so less distance for friction loss. Just a thought.

Hi Mr w. Now I'm just an east coast plumber, however I think your water spigot issue is probably related to pressure & distance from the source, the closer to the source the better Pressure and better volume of water delivery per min. Also referred to as the term GPM, my suspicion is that the 1in spigot is further from the source of water and as a result has lower pressure, the same phenomenon is replicateable with using a 5 ft hose and a 150 ft hose. You should grab a hose bib adapted pressure gauge for a few bucks online and you can find out if this is the case. (Edit typos)

At a flow rate of 20 gal/min you will have a friction loss of 31.3 psi/100ft for 3/4" sch 40 pvc pipe and 9.4 psi/100 ft for 1" sch 40 pvc pipe. (lower flow rates will have less pressure loss) So the 1" pipe is definitely going to help out with the flow rate at the hydrant, but if the pipe run of the 1" is significantly longer than the 3/4" you will still end up with a lower flow rate at the 1" hydrant due to the pressure loss in the system.

The only thing I can think of is that you tee’d the 3/4 of the 1” main so you only have a little bit of 3/4 pipe and the 3/4 hydrant with the same 3/4 hose. But then you ran x amount of 1” pipe to the 2.0 shop and have the same 3/4” hose so maybe the 3/4 hydrant has less friction loss the the x amount of 1” going to the shop 🤷‍♂️
