Video: Dump Chute Fill Adapter Enables Rapid Fill for Tenders

The Dump Chute Fill Adapter enables fire departments to fill their apparatus much faster than the conventional way by using a large diameter hose. The Dump Chute Fill Adapter can enable fire departments to improve their ISO or PIAL fire ratings by increasing their overall volume of water at their evaluations for the rating bureau. It will help to eliminate fall injuries and potential back injuries to all fire fighters by removing the need to climb onto the tail board of a fire apparatus with wet and muddy boots. The Dump Chute Fill Adapter will enable quicker responses back to the emergency scene after refilling. The Dump Chute Fill Adapter will give the department the opportunity to have a direct fill because it fills directly into the tank of the apparatus using LDH and not using a 2½-inch inlet.
