Yes, this Flame Fighter unit is engineered to strictly adhere to NFPA 1962 standards regarding the care, use, inspection, and service testing of fire hose, couplings, and nozzles. It provides a controlled, safe hydrostatic testing environment, allowing departments to certify their equipment without the safety risks associated with using fire trucks as pressure sources. The system enables precise pressure maintenance and bleeding, which is critical for the valid pass/fail documentation required for insurance and liability audits. Using this dedicated apparatus ensures your agency meets all national safety mandates for annual hose certification.

No, this is a completely self-contained hydrostatic test pump system that features its own built-in 1 HP electric motor and high-performance pump. Unlike "wash-down" style attachments, this unit does not rely on a separate pressure washer; it simply requires a standard garden hose water supply and a 110V electrical outlet. This all-in-one design streamlines the workflow, eliminating the logistical hassle of connecting multiple machines or dragging out expensive cleaning equipment for testing duties. It is specifically designed to generate the high pressure needed for testing, not the high flow needed for washing.

The unit features a 6-outlet manifold, allowing facility managers to test up to six lengths of fire hose at the same time to maximize operational throughput. Each outlet is equipped with an independent stainless steel ball valve, giving the operator the ability to bleed air from individual lines or isolate a failed hose without shutting down the entire test cycle. While it comes standard with 1.5" NST threads, it can easily adapt to test large diameter hose (LDH) or other coupling sizes using standard adapters. This high-volume capability significantly reduces the total man-hours required to test a department’s entire hose inventory.

This tester is capable of generating up to 500 PSI, which provides ample power to test attack lines, supply lines, and industrial hoses well beyond their required service test pressures. It features an adjustable pressure regulator that allows the operator to set a specific maximum PSI, preventing accidental over-pressurization that could damage aging equipment. The pressure is monitored via a liquid-filled gauge that dampens vibration, ensuring accurate, readable metrics during the critical holding phase. This precise control allows for safe, non-destructive testing of everything from forestry lines to heavy-duty industrial rubber hoses.

The Flame Fighter tester is built with a heavy-duty, powder-coated steel roll cage and chassis designed to withstand the harsh, wet conditions of a fire station apparatus bay or industrial yard. All manifold piping and wetted components are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials to prevent rust and scale buildup that could compromise test integrity over time. The unit is mounted on rugged, flat-free tires, allowing for easy mobility across rough concrete or gravel without the maintenance concerns of pneumatic wheels. This industrial-grade construction ensures a high Return on Investment (ROI) by providing decades of reliable service with minimal maintenance.
