Suction Valve
A suction valve is installed at the sea chest, bulkhead 31, starboard. This valve may be closed to allow servicing of the
pump, the suction strainer, or the below-the-waterline piping. During normal operations, the suction valve remains open.
Suction Strainer
A simplex suction strainer is installed inline between the suction valve and the fire pump. The strainer removes particulate
contamination from the raw water before it enters the fire pump. Because this is a simplex strainer, the fire pump system
must be shut down prior to servicing the strainer.
Pressure Relief Valve
A pressure relief valve is installed between the fire pump and the bow ballast tank and fire monitor valves. This valve opens
when system pressure exceeds 85 lb/in2 (5.9 bar) to prevent damage to the system from overpressurization.
Ballast Valve
The ballast valve is used to control the flow of raw water into the bow ballast tank. The valve is open during filling of the
bow ballast tank and closed at all other times.
Fire Monitor Valve
The fire monitor valve is used to control the flow of raw water to the fire monitor. The valve is open during firefighting
operations and closed at all other times.
Fire Monitor
The fire monitor is mounted to a platform mounted on the starboard wing wall. The fire monitor permits 360-degree rotation
of the nozzle so that the crew may direct water where it is needed, whether onboard the LCM-8 Mod 2, ashore, or aboard
another vessel.
Nozzle
A fire nozzle is mounted at the discharge end of the fire monitor. This nozzle allows the crew to control the stream of water
issuing from the fire monitor.
