Quit screwing around with the light stuff Chili. Find me some decent water motor bells that haven't busted from freezing and ship em to me. Every one I started to borrow for the last 20 years was split.
Most of the old sprinkler towers in Rochester have been knocked down, seems when they started to collapse people got nervous. They were primarily connected to the Holly System which was steam pumped until the 1980s. Good job for an Operating Engineer, 8 hours paid sleep as long as he woke up fast when the flow bell rang & started pumping like hell to compensate for the tower dumping. Today all sprinklers are on the "potable" water system, and the Holly only serves downtown hydrants. It is fun watching young firemen trying to understand a duplicate hydrant system.
Water motor gongs are nothing for big - I have fire pumps I pulled out. We keep one in the shop for training. We have fully functioning training centers at many of our branches. Here in Denver we have fire pumps, jockey pumos, res pumps, about 25 or 30 fully functional valve assemblies, many donated by manufacturers. A couple of years ago we became accredited with different groups, building engineers, fire deoartments, etc. People can come in and train on whatever they need to.
We never had many water moyor gongs in Denver. I have only had two or three on my jobs in 32 yrs. Many more back east.
I am sending sprinkler wrenches, sprinkler heads that match, and other related paraphenelia to a member here, maybe they will show their it after awhile...
