What is the common appliance loss for an elevated master stream and monitor?

The common appliance loss for an elevated master stream and monitor is typically 25 psi. This loss is an important factor for firefighters to consider when calculating the necessary water pressure to ensure effective operation of the master stream. When deploying elevated master streams, the additional pressure loss must be accounted for to maintain adequate flow and pressure at the nozzle, ensuring that the water reaches the intended target efficiently.

Understanding that appliance losses vary depending on the specific equipment and its operating conditions is key. In the context of elevated master streams, 25 psi is established as a standard for what can be expected in terms of pressure reduction, allowing operators to adjust their pumping strategies accordingly for effective firefighting operations. Other values, while associated with different appliances or configurations, do not represent the standard for this scenario.
