Evaluate a water supply and select the right fire pump for the job
Size for horsepower and make critical adjustments for elevation and temperature... and more!
Turn to the book's comprehensive primer for fire pump basics, or flip right to the commentary--made easy to identify with contrasting type. (320 pp., 1998)
