General Wire I-95-C Basic Unit with 15R10 Sections, CC Cable Carrier, R-10CS Cutter Set and Tool Box The I-95-C Basic Unit Including five 15R10 Sections, CC Cable Carrier, R-10CS Cutter Set, Tool Box, 1/3 hp Motor with Reverse Switch, 10 ft. Power Cord, Ground Fault Interrupter, and Leather Gloves. General Wire I-95-C Basic Unit Features: With a 1/3 hp motor, the I-95 clears lines from roof-top to basement, including kitchen, bath and laundry drains. Here's a sectional cable machine that drives 7/8" and 5/8" sections or even 5/16" cables for small drain work. You can switch from 7/8" to 5/8" and back by repositioning the chuck cone. No adapter required. Attach a small drum to the back of the machine to drive smaller cables. The I-95-C gives you more than versatility. It gives you power and convenience. The motor is a 1/3 hp capacitor type, so it delivers plenty of torque to the cables. Yet, as soon as you lift the drive handle, the cable stops rotating, so there's no additional torque build up. You also use the drive handle to carry the machine. And when the I-95 is in position on the job, its four point base gives it rock-solid stability. A cutter holder is attached to the back so your cutting heads are always with the machine. A ground fault circuit interrupter is standard equipment General Wire I-95 Basic Unit Specifications: Weight: 39 lbs. (18 kg) Dimensions: 14" deep x 12" wide x 23" high. (35.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 58.4 cm) Motor: 1/3 hp with forward-off-reverse switch, ten foot power cord, and ground fault circuit interrupter. Adjustable Chucks: Has two sets of notches; one for 5/8" cables and one for 7/8" cables. Switch from one diameter to the other in seconds. Leather Gloves: Double palm, for hand protection when guiding cable. Cables: "T" slot couplings slide together to lock and uncouple with a pin key. 7.5R8 - 7-1/2 ft. x 5/8" (2.3m x 15.6 mm) for 1-1/4" through 3" lines up to 125 ft long; 15R10 or 15R10P with Proflex inner core " 15 ft. x 7/8" for 2" " 4"

Dynamic Head

The effect of the Earths gravity on the "lift" or head pressure is fairly simple; for every vertical foot of distance the pump moves the water you are adding one foot of head pressure so the ratio is a 1:1 ratio. The effects of the friction, caused by water as it travels through your hose or pipes, on the total head pressure is a little more difficult to calculate especially as there are slight variations in pipe friction in different hose materials and the smoothness of the inner bore. Basically. for every ten feet of pipe through which the water has to travel travel horizontally will contribute 1 foot of head height; the ratio of the pipe friction loss is a 10:1 ratio.

Plumbing fixtures and bends and corners in your hose also increase the total head you must calculate to ensure the proper final volume from your pump. Every corner with a 90 degree elbow in your plumbing will add 1 foot of head pressure  with a 1:1 ratio. 45 degree elbows, tees and even insert couplers can all have an impact on the final flow.

If you install a pump 40 feet away from the top of your waterfall which is 6 feet above the pump and the tubing is a single run of 40 feet horizontally then you add 4 feet of head for the tubing length (the 10:1 ratio) to the 6 foot differnetial between the pump location and the final height of the waterfall so your final total dynamic head calculation would be 10 feet. This means your final volume of water flow in this water feature or application would be the volume of flow on the performance curve that equaled the gallons per hour at 16 feet. This volume will certainly be much less than the initial volume the pump can move at an open flow or a zero head.

If in the above example your 40 feet of horizontal tubing run also required 3 elbows of 90 degrees then an additional 3 feet of theoretical head would be added and your final flow result would be at 19 feet on the performance curve of the pump. In this example you would want to choose a pump that has the desired GPH rating at 9 feet of head pressure.  Tubing size is also an important factor in accounting for head pressure loss, in general you should never reduce the diameter of the tubing below what the output size of the pump is, this will drastically increase head pressure, and reduce pump performance.  For maximum pump performance, using the largest tubing that is practical is the best choice. A best practice is to use a hose with an inner diameter that is the same as your pumps outlet fitting.
