Draft CommanderÂ® Mobile Fire Appliance Testing & Training Unit Model DCA-1962-100 is designed to test handline fire nozzles from 30-500 gpm; fire hose couplings; fire appliances such as water thiefs, valves, and fittings; hard suction hose; and fire hose-all according to NFPA 1962. The unit is also designed for training purposes for fire pump engineers and firefighters by recycling water.

The Draft CommanderÂ® Hard Suction Hose Vacuum Testing Unit is located at the rear of the Draft Commander Mobile Fire Appliance Testing & Training Unit and comes with several couplings for compatibility across different sizes of hard suction hose. Testing fire hose and fire appliances per the NFPA ensures the safety of personnel operating equipment, providing a reasonable assurance that the equipment will perform as designed. When testing an appliance with the Draft CommanderÂ® Nozzle Testing Appliance, the nozzles are recirculating water into the Draft CommanderÂ® and pumping back out of the nozzle through the fire pump. www.draftcommander.com, 785-825-9527

QUIC-MOUNT Universal Deck Mount Ziamatic Corp. (Zico) features rugged aluminum framing and heavy-duty nylon straps with easy-to-operate plastic buckles. A wide range of adjustment options allows for a nice, tight fit inside the compartment, even with longer, taller, or otherwise oddly shaped items. Secure box fans, PPV fans, hydraulic pumps, beverage coolers, toolboxes, and more.

Heavy equipment can shift during transport or become airborne in the event of a rollover collision. In a matter of seconds, a lifesaving tool can become a dangerous weapon. With this in mind, do not rely on gravity alone to keep that heavy equipment secure and personnel safe. www.ziamatic.com, 800-711-FIRE

Cummins Inc. 2017 X15 Performance Series engine brings forward the big-bore attributes of the ISX15 with even better performance and reliability. With ratings up to 600 hp, the X15 Performance Series was designed to meet the maximum performance needs of fire and emergency apparatus. Emergency vehicle calibrations maintain maximum performance even when an emissions-related fault is triggered or the aftertreatment system is regenerating.

Also, when the X15 is specified with a Cummins OnanÂ® generator, the Cummins service network is the single source for maintenance, parts, and service for both engine and generator. An upgraded high-flow air-handling system provides faster response for acceleration. Peak torque of up to 1,850 lb-ft is delivered across a very wide engine rpm range as low as 1,150 rpm. www.cumminsengines.com, 800-343-7357

Code 3Â®, Inc. M180™ exterior light combines an intersection light, takedown light, and puddle light into one compact housing. The M180 can be mounted anywhere an MR6™ can, making it a versatile light. The M180 comes in red, white, blue, green, and amber colors. There are 29 single-color flash patterns. The M180 syncs with existing Chase™, MR6, and Mega Thin™ LEDs, making it easy to integrate into an existing setup.
