How many GPM do you run your CAFS lines at?

1 3/4" Hose?
2" Hose?
2 1/2" Hose?

Thanks

It will depend on your system, how its balanced brand and type of hose nozzle tips, type of foam blanket ect we have an Waterous Eclips.
On our 13/4 lines we flow about 90psi 125gpm 45scfm the gpm and cfm varies a little depending on tip size,we use smoothbores with 11/8 tips and 13/8 waterways, and saberjets with 15/16 tip.
no 2 inch
21/2 inch line at 80psi 190gpm 85 cfm,and the line is easily movable, last barn fire we were at 120psi 240gpm 95cfm on the 21/2 120psi 140gpm 55cfm on 13/4s
If we want a thick "shaving Cream" on th 13/4 its about 30 gpms 65 cfms @90psi
