manufacturer to operate in such a manner shall be provided.
The water pump shall have a 1" relief valve to protect the
pump from damage.
The water pump will be used to purge residual water out of
the water system by pumping air through entire water
system. Drain plugs will be provided in the bottom section
of the water pump for complete cold weather draining.
Pump hydraulic system shall consist of a P.T.O. driven
Vickers 35 20-V or equal hydraulic pump. Hydraulic tank

and using a dial control on the hose reel, to vary flows and
pressures independently of each other through the entire
range of the water delivery system described herein. This
system must be in addition to the normal configuration of
the pump; this feature must depend fully upon an addition
to the standard pump configuration and fully depend upon
an additional element to the hydraulic drive configuration
of the pump supplied. Mere change of nozzles or the use of
manually manipulated ball valves will be deemed
unacceptable. Finally, this system will be operable with a
minimum 1" diameter jet rodding hose that meets all
required operating pressure and burst strength standards set
forth in this specification.
