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.

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 2 месяца назад

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.

@jgres85 2 месяца назад

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

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 2 месяца назад

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.

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.

It’s just the friction loss in the length of pipe maybe? Being farther from the main at the street? Or there’s just more friction loss in that 1” valve.

@thetrevster14 Месяц назад

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.

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.

@gakrazykajun 2 месяца назад

I wonder if there is a pressure reduction the farther you get away from the water source. With less water pressure the one inch line isn't going to make much difference. Maybe retry the test with a 5 gallon bucket where you can calculate the GPM based on pumping a known volume.

@krausestephen 2 месяца назад

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.

@Spades62 2 месяца назад

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)

@BattleChemist 2 месяца назад

Hm... I wonder if the difference in overall output on the 1" valve was due to the distance from the main line. As you noted during old wildland firefighting videos, there's pressure drop over distance. If there's enough pressure drop in the additional 100'ish feet from the main, that could account for the less output at the valve.

@keninglis7060 2 месяца назад

My guess is that the 3/4" tap is close to a larger main beside the road, wheras the 1" tap is a long way from the main - it's probably friction loss in the pipes!

@matthewvanrossum406 2 месяца назад

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 🤷‍♂️

@izzyplusplusplus1004 2 месяца назад

13:20 the water spigot head pressure and flow rates ARE greatly affected by distance and sharp turns, as well as elevation changes. Valve design also has a percentage of the factor, probably the largest of the four factors I can think of. As a non plumber, but as a builder, I think it's called head pressure. One other factor could be the effectiveness of your expansion tank and well pump, assuming that's how you get water through your frost free spigots.

@sagelandscapes 2 месяца назад

It could be the venturi effect causing the difference in flow rate. either between the 1 inch line and the open tank or somewhere in the feed that accounts for the differential where the 3/4 pipe is 3/4 to the outlet is a smoother flow
