Tap Water Sources in Remote Locations with the 5” TurboDraft™ Unit
Access remote static water sources up to 250’ away
With Schutte & Koerting’s TurboDraft™ 5” Fire Eductor, you can tap into static water sources like ponds, streams, and swimming pools that are up to 250’ away while generating flows up to 670 GPM or more.
The 5″ TurboDraft™ unit is used primarily for accessing static water sources that are not easily reached using typical drafting techniques.
The 5″ unit can also be used…
- To establish tanker/tender fill sites
- For dewatering of low lying areas
- For direct fire attack
- Fire ground water management
- When accessing shallow static water sources
And that’s only some of what your department can accomplish with the 5” TurboDraft™ fire eductor. For more, check out our TurboDraft™ demo videos.
5” TurboDraft™ Unit Operation
Usable fire flow amounts will vary based on elevation and hose friction loss. Greater usable flow rates are achievable depending on hose friction loss coefficients or when utilizing 6” large diameter hose. Field testing should be conducted to confirm actual flow rates for each given hose configuration. (See Distant Water Source Situation table below for baseline numbers).
