Manifold Issues Averted After Close Call
Monday, April 27, 2009 
-
This past Thursday night, we performed monthly driver training/pump training.  In recent light of the manifold mishap I sent you,  we decided it would be wise to check our appliances.  After testing 3 manifolds, and 2 intake valves,  We discovered that 1 of our manifolds' relief valves were not functioning not only improperly, but NOT AT ALL.   We had taken our pressure as high as 195 psi,  with no relief function.  They are supposed to be set at 145 psi.  Even after adjusting all of the appliances,  it was determined we need to test these more often.  So this time,  it went the way WE wanted it to go and best of all, no one got hurt.
