BigBoy Hose Monster™

The BigBoy Hose Monster is intended to be used with a hose and should not be attached directly to a hydrant. The unit comes standard with a 4" NH connection and can be flowed from a larger sized connection by use reducing hose or adapters. Your hose choice will depend on: 1) the diameter of the water source connection, 2) the thread or connection type, and 3) the hose length.

Taking Flow Readings

The BigBoy GPM Gauge is calibrated to read flow-rate directly from the gauge face. No conversion chart is necessary. If you use another pressure gauge instead of the BigBoy GPM Gauge the BigBoy Hose Monster flow chart must be used to convert from psi to GPM. A 0-60 psi gauge is the most suitable range.
