“As a rural Fire Department drafting is a standard for us and with all the duties a pump operator has to perform on a fire scene it can be challenging even for a seasoned veteran. The answer to keeping prime and seamless transfer from tank to drafting has been the Automatic Inlet Valve. That is why all of our Engines are equipped with them. Thanks, Hydra-Shield for making such a great product.”
