Friction loss in Wyed Lines

Does anyone know why when figuring friction loss in wyed lines (all wyes equal) you only figure for one of the wyed lines? I get asked this all the time and have not been able to find the reasoning.ThanksSee More

John K. Murphy replied to Bob Shovald's discussion Code 3 response
"Bob Good question. 1) Dump the 10 mph over rule as it’s generally unenforceable and adopt your state's legal standard for emergency response. For example in Washington State under RCW 46.61.035 (c) Exceed the maximum speed limits so…"

Hi Chief
Thanks it was fun putting the article together together. Now I am doing some research on the use of hydrants (new mission) Do you have any SOPs or the like that you can share in regards to hydrant use for your dept?. I am looking for techniques to take the hydrant, additional appliances used as well as policies like: How many hydrants do you take for a single family vs. commercial jobs.

Stay safe and happy holidays!
Bob

Hey brother, thanks for your thoughts and time to reply. I actually made a few copies of your article a week before you had replied to me. (hope thats ok). But i thought it was very ironic. Anyway we actually use that break away system where i work, and I think it works out pretty good. I think I'm making slow progress here at the volly house. Thanks again, and we should def. keep the ideas flowing.

Be Safe!
