About this file
This document is a Salient Characteristics specification for a 4,000-gallon water tender unit on a quick-change truck system for the U.S. Forest Service. The water tank is a 6V-15 Vision Tank model with modified trapezoid design, measuring 15 feet in length, 102 inches in width, and 66 inches in height. The tank features curved, fully welded baffles and heads constructed from 3/16" ASTM A36 mild steel, a 25-inch round manway with hinged non-sealing lid, rear-mounted ladder with anti-slip rungs, and 12-gauge steel fenders. The tank includes a heavy-duty 1/4" U-shaped cradle subframe with 6-point mounting brackets, removable stands, and vulcanized rubber wear pads for the skirtboard.
The water tender system includes a 4x3 M3ZRMS cast iron pump rated at 75 gallons per minute at 65 PSI with hydraulic drive and mechanical seal. The spray system consists of two AV1100 air-to-close spray valves with adjustable fan nozzles for rear spray and duckbill side nozzles on 90-degree elbows for side spray, all independently operated via control console. Additional components include a hydraulic reservoir mounted on the rear deck, pre-plumbed configuration with SCH40 and SCH80 piping, 100 feet of 1/4" airline supplied loose, and a 1-1/2" brass ball valve for manual discharge. The exterior is sandblasted and primed with metallic gray paint, equipped with standard DOT LED lights with universal adapter harness, and 5/8" clear flexible PVC sight gauges. A critical requirement specifies that one experienced operator must be able to change the truck configuration between water tender, dump bed, and fifth-wheel configurations in 30 minutes or less using minimal tools, with demonstration required during Government inspection and acceptance. The tank carries a standard 5-year limited warranty on construction and 1-year limited warranty on plumbing.
