Paul Dansbach looks at a fire pump inside a building and reviews all the components that firefighters ought to be familiar with when responding to such structures.

I hope that set is strictly for training cause that discharge check valve and control valve are wrong. Check valve is supposed to be before the shut off on the discharge side of the fire pump with the sensing line tied in somewhere between the two.

[@michaelmorrison9127]

Suction gauge says vac on it and Is before the pump

suction side is water source usually underground pipe, discharge goes to manifold header and out into building. Follow the pipes.
