JEOPARDY!

Don't know exactly what it is..looks like some form of manifold...but I can say I like its design.

Ryan;

Yes it is a manifold carried by the sattelite companies.

It's a big manifold.

That's what it's called, a manifold.

I think the green hair dye has done something to your brain.

You make it too easy.

It takes water in from a big hose and disperses it to multiple smaller lines. all discharges are gated.

Shrek!!

It's a manifold that's carried by the Satellites

So it's a 'BIG SATELLITE MANIFOLD'.......

I've heard it on the radio referred to as "the manifold"

no adjetives. no special names. just call it as it is

Sorry, als, your response must be in the form of a question.....

That is one heck of a water-thief.

Its not a water thief unless the LDH goes through it and continues on.

ha ha ha thanks alot your too funny but im more intrested in why you would need this in a city whats wrong with one single engien and its discharges, i never seen one till we used one up here in the sticks to do tanker shuttles filling tankers.

You need it when you pump off a large diameter watermain, supplying more than just a couple of handlines. Possibly supplying a couple of tower ladders, placing copious amounts of water to a scene, only using one 2,000 gpm pumper to do it. That's on top of however many engines are supplying handlines seperately. Say for the sake of argument, those single engines are pumping off the same watermain, and it's only an 8 inch main or a 12 inch main. Up comes E-9/SAT-1, they hit a 36 inch main about a block away, and they can supply more water without taking anything away from the first few engines operating. Hope that helps. PS, the Satellite Water System is one of my specialties and I do drills on it pretty regularly.

a phantom pumper?

It looks very similar to one I've used as well.

Water Thief/Manifold, same thing.
