How much water pressure is required for a fire monitor to work effectively?

The amount of water pressure required for a fire monitor to work effectively depends on various factors such as the size of the monitor, the distance from the water source, and the type of nozzle or nozzle size used. However, in general, a fire monitor typically requires a water pressure of at least 100 psi to effectively extinguish a fire.
It's important to note that the flow rate of water is equally important as the pressure when it comes to fighting fires. The flow rate determines how much water is released per minute, while the pressure determines the force at which the water is released. Both factors should be considered when determining the water pressure required for effective use of a fire monitor.
In addition to water pressure and flow rate, the distance between the monitor and the fire also affects the effectiveness of the equipment. If the distance is too far, the water jet may not be strong enough to reach the fire, and the water may disperse before reaching the intended target.
Overall, a minimum of 100 psi water pressure along with adequate flow rate and proper monitor placement are key factors in ensuring the effective use of a fire monitor.
