AirPrime™ Overview
Trident has several AirPrime models to meet specic needs:
Base Models: All models are available in 2 or 3 barrel design
(depending on your water pump capacity and chassis air
compressor output CFM).
Direct Mount: Connects to a Hale Q Model midship pump
priming port with two bolts. The Hale pump model name must begin
with a Qsuch as Qmax. Hale supplies a lter for the Direct Mount.
Remote Mount: This version can be used with any pump. It has
a 3⁄4" female NPT connection and requires a simple bracket to hold
the unit to the pump house structure.
Multi-Location: Priming from multiple inlet locations.
Variations and Options:
1. The base AirPrime single location units are available with either
Automatic or Manual controls.
2. The Multi-Location units are available with Automatic or Manual
controls. Up to four remote locations are available. This allows for
pre-priming up to the buttery valve for rapid water delivery and safer
reground operations.
3. Automatic versions are available in 12 and 24 Volt models.
4. Adding a Lift Gauge which indicates how much vacuum (in feet/meters
of water) the primer is creating to prime the pump.
5. Conversion Kits for Manual to Automatic and for adding more locations
are available. Refer to Page 16.
6. AirPrime is also available for small trucks without air brakes.
See Page 5 for additional information.

How Does It Work?
AirPrime utilizes air supplied from the chassis air brake system
to operate the re pump primer. This is proven to be far more
efcient and reliable than rotary vane primers driven by an electric
motor.
AirPrime virtually eliminates the impact load on the electrical
system and improves vehicle reliability.
AirPrime also improves performance in the elapsed time for
establishing water supply. This results in improved re ground
operations and safety.
Auto Prime Depress switch into the upper position. The Green
LED light will illuminate while priming occurs. The primer will only
activate when the OK TO PUMP light is ON and the Pump Pressure
is below 20 PSIG.
AirPrime Primers can be used for both New and Retro-Fit installations. In Retro-Fit scenarios, an AirPrime replacement installation
requires minimal tools and time. Automatic AirPrime models provide instant re-priming of the pump when required.
A worn out rotary vane primer can be easily replaced by an AirPrime™unit with Automatic or Manual control.

Installer Responsibilities
Air Compressor Size
1. The 2-barrel AirPrime must be used only on re pumps rated 1000 GPM [3800 LPM] and less. A minimum air compressor size of 13.2
CFM [0�374 Cubic Meters per Minute] must be used.
2. The 3-barrel AirPrime must be used only on re pumps rated 1250 GPM [4700 LPM] and more. A minimum air compressor size of 15.6
CFM [0�442 Cubic Meters per Minute] must be used.
3. For Industrial Pumpers The Dual Unit requires an air compressor with capacity greater than 20 CFM [6�09 Cubic Meters per Minute]. The
Triple Unit requires an air compressor with capacity greater than 30 CFM [9�14 Cubic Meters per Minute].
4. NOTE: For operations above 4000 feet [1219 meters] of elevation and lifts greater than 15 feet [4�5 meters], a minimum air compressor
size of 18 CFM [0�510 Cubic Meters per Minute] or larger is required.
Basic Materials Supplied by Installer
1. A 3/8" OD (.251 ID) air hose from the air tank (primary or auxiliary tank) with 1/4" NPT connections
(length determined by installer).
2. Primer mounting bracket to install high in the pump enclosure. (Only required for remote mount.)
See Figure #2.
3. Non-collapsible 3/4" inside diameter (ID) air hose from primer to re pump with 3/4" NPT ttings.
4. A Pressure Protection Valve (PPV) (Optionally available from Trident, Part # 30.053.0).
5. A 1-1/4" [32 mm] ID drain hose may be connected to the primer outlet using a hose clamp to secure
it in place. NOTE: Loosely tighten the hose clamp to avoid damage to the discharge ports. This
hose directs water from the primer to any location under the vehicle. Be sure this hose is properly
secured, short as possible and away from any moving components, free of any sharp bends and
pitched to allow drainage.
6. Liquid thread sealant or Teon tape is required for all threaded pneumatic ttings.
NOTE: Use sparingly while applying sealant to avoid blockage of the internal mesh lter. See Page 5, Figure #5.
Remote Primer Mounting
1. A fabricated primer bracket to secure the primer within the pump enclosure. The mounting height for all priming components must be
ABOVE the highest priming point on the pump suction side (or above the highest remote priming valve for multiple location systems) to
permit air removal and allow for complete drainage. See Figure #2 for the bolt hole mounting template. An actual size bolt hole template
is provided in the primer shipping carton for your convenience.
NOTE: Primer MUST be mounted VERTICALLY with the primer outlet discharge (round) ports facing downward as shown in Figure #1.
2. A non-collapsible hose from the 3/4" NPT cleanable wye strainer on the primer inlet to the 3/4" NPT re pump priming port.
A 3/4" minimum inside diameter hose must be used.
3. The AirPrime and attached wye strainer must be installed in a location for ease of maintenance per Figure #3 on Page 5. The installer
may choose from one of the options below as a method of draining the strainer:
a) Remove threaded plug on wye strainer for draining during annual pump service. Refer to Page 13 for Troubleshooting Guide.
b) For draining, the strainer may be piped to the pump master drain by the installer. This helps in climates prone to freezing conditions.
c) Alternatively a separate drain with valve and label may be piped to the bottom of the pump enclosure by the installer.
NOTE: If the vehicle includes a front suction inlet, adding a Primer Front Intake control is required. Refer to drawings of front suction
plumbing on Pages 11 and 12.

Air Schematic, PPV, Air Hose and Connections
Air Supply Schematic
The AirPrime unit must be connected to the vehicle’s air brake system exactly as
shown in Figure 4 below. This schematic is typical for most trucks built today.
1. Air compressor supply is shown as .
2. Supply reservoir (wet tank) is shown as .
3. Primary reservoir (typically for the rear brakes) is shown as .
4. Pressure Protection Valve (PPV) is shown as and in photo at right.
5. Figure ashows a customer supplied SCBA Cylinder used with the Trident
Pressure Regulator for use on trucks without airbrakes.
The regulator bis available separately as Part #14.013.0.
Air Supply, Hose and Connections
The air source used to supply the AirPrime shall be from the primary air reservoir in Figure #4 or a secondary air reservoir (normally
used for air horns, air accessories, re pump shift or AirMax intake relief valve).
The supply line from the Pressure Protection Valve (PPV) in Figure #4 to the primer control should be a minimum size of 3/8" OD air
brake tubing and connected at both ends with 1/4" NPT ttings (connections and tubing must be rated for air brake service). The tubing
should be kept as short as possible, secured at regular intervals, free of any kinks or bends and must not be run near exhaust components
or rotating shafts. Stay 6" [150 mm] away from any exhaust or hot components. Use rubber grommets to protect the tubing from sharp
metal edges at all hole locations.
When the installed length of the air brake tubing exceeds 20 feet [6�1 m], a minimum size of 1/2" OD air brake tubing should be used.
Pressure Protection Valve (PPV)
A Pressure Protection Valve (4) is not supplied with the primer. A Trident PPV, Part #30.053.0 may be
purchased separately. Alternatively a Bendix PPV, Style PR-4, Part #288323 or its equivalent may also be
used. The PPV valve must be installed per Figure #4 between the primary air supply reservoir and the
primer air inlet. The valve protects the air brake system from any leaks that may occur in the primer or in
the air line from the PPV to the primer. The pressure setting for the PPV is 80 PSIG maximum.
Filter Port
This cleanable porous lter is located inside the top of the primer body, below the threaded area of the
air supply connection tting or solenoid valve connection. See Figure #5.
A replacement lter is available as Part #21.002.0.

OPERATION: Manual Priming Control
The manual re pump primer is operated simply by increasing the engine speed to a maximum of 1000 RPM and depressing the push
button on the panel. Hold the button down until the discharge pressure gauge begins to rise. The primer will stop operating when the push
button is released. The push button will operate the primer regardless of whether the re pump is engaged or not.
• Depressing the Push To Prime button directs air to the primer inlet.
• An internal valve to the re pump is opened with air pressure from the chassis air brake system when the button is depressed.
• Vacuum for drafting is created by air owing through multi-stage internal venturi nozzles.
• The Primer Control Valve has no water, plumbing or electrical lines.
• Never run a dry pump at engine speeds above 1200 RPM for more than 45 seconds in accordance with the operating instructions
provided from the re pump manufacturer.
• NOTE: It is recommended that the Push Button Control be depressed monthly to exercise the spring and seals. The re pump
does not have to be engaged during this process. This also applies to any other intake Push Button Controls you may have. Parker
O-Lube or equivalent O-Ring safe lubricant should be applied annually to lubricate the mechanism. It is available at Amazon or
through a local automotive parts supplier.

AirPrime™ Fire Pump Priming System
™
Annual Primer Testing
The AirPrime™ primer is designed to meet the NFPA requirements of: Dry Vacuum (TEST #1)and Priming Time (TEST #2). These tests
should be performed on an annual basis, or whenever major repairs or modications have been made to the re pump, plumbing or primer.
TEST #1 Dry Vacuum Test: Checks the primer’s ability to produce 22 inches (Hg) [�745 Bar] of vacuum, and the pump and plumbing’s
ability to hold that vacuum. The re pump does not have to be engaged. If you have an Automatic AirPrime, use the lower PRIME position
on the rocker switch. If you have a Manual AirPrime, use the Push Button control. Never run a dry pump at engine speeds above 1200
RPM. There is no time requirement for the vacuum to reach 22 inches. If the compressor has a capacity of 13.2 CFM [374 Cubic Centimeter
Displacement], it can take several minutes to reach 22 inches [�75 Bar]. This time can be shortened by engaging the pump and increasing
the engine speed to 1200 RPM. The test process is as follows:
1. Drain all water from pump and plumbing.
2. Close all valves and drains. Cap all suction openings and the outlet off of the suction side relief valve (if so equipped).
3. Connect a vacuum test gauge to the intake test gauge connection on the pump panel.
4. Operate the AirPrime with the air system at over 100 PSIG [ 7�0 B ar] pressure, air tanks lled to capacity, and at 1000 RPM engine speed;
until the vacuum gauge indicates 22 inches (Hg) [�75 Bar] or more of vacuum. For a Manual AirPrime, depress the valve on the pump
panel. If the primer is an Automatic AirPrime, depress the rocker switch to the PRIME (lower position) to activate the primer.
5. Watch the gauge, if the vacuum falls more than 10 inches in 5 minutes the test has failed and is a certain indication of an air leak(s).
Vacuum leaks may be detected by ear, with the engine turned off. Correct leaks immediately and test the priming system again.
TEST #2 Priming Time Test: This test is to prove that the re pump and primer have the capability of attaining a prime and creating
discharge water pressure in a set period of time. This test is also conducted by the apparatus builder prior to delivery. The re pump shall
be engaged and primer actuated. This test is part of an annual pump performance test and is performed as follows:
1. Set up the apparatus in accordance with the pump test outlined in the NFPA 1901 Standards.
2. Engage the pump, and increase the throttle to a maximum engine speed of 1000 RPM.
3. Operate the AirPrime with the air system over 100 PSIG [ 7� 0 B ar ] pressure, air tanks lled to capacity, and at 1000 RPM engine speed.
• For the Manuallly controlled primer, release the push button when a discharge pressure over 20 PSIG [1�4 Bar] is obtained.
• For the Automatic primer, place the switch in the AUTO PRIME (upper position), the primer will turn off automatically when prime is
achieved.
4. The priming time should not exceed 30 seconds for 1250 GPM [4700 LPM] and smaller pumps. The priming time should not exceed 45
seconds for 1500 GPM [5600 LPM] and larger pumps. An additional 15 seconds is allowed for pumps with auxiliary suctions using 4" or
larger piping.
Higher lifts and operating at higher elevations will slow down the priming time. The air compressor rating should be a minimum of 18
CFM [410 Cubic Centimeter Displacement] for elevations over 4000 feet [1200 m] and lifts in excess of 15 feet [4�5 m]. Operation at these
extremes may require the primer to be operated at engine speeds in excess of 1000 RPM without engaging the pump, until water reaches
the impeller. Never run a dry pump at engine speeds above 1200 RPM.
IN-SERVICE OPERATIONAL RAMP TEST
The integrity and operation of the primer can be quickly checked (on a daily or weekly basis) as outlined below, without re pump
engagement:
1. Drain all water from pump and plumbing.
2. Close all valves and drains. Cap all suction openings.
• Operate the AirPrime with the air brake system pressure over 100 PSIG [ 7�0 B ar], air tanks lled to capacity, and the engine running at
1000 RPM (with an Auto AirPrime electrically controlled model, depress the switch in the lower PRIME mode position).
3. Stop running the primer.
Time to reach 15 inches HG [�50 Bar] or 17 feet [5�0 m] on lift gauge should be within the times listed below for the volume of the pump
being tested.
Small Body Pump (Up To 1250 GPM): Vacuum Time
10 inches HG [�33 Bar] (11 Feet) 6 Seconds
15 inches HG [�50 Bar] (17 Feet) 15 Seconds
Large Body Pump (Over 1250 GPM): Vacuum Time
10 inches HG [�33 Bar] (11 Feet) 8 Seconds
15 inches HG [�50 Bar] (17 Feet) 20 Seconds
Note: Vacuum Times listed in the table at left are for operations up
to 2,000 feet [609 m] of elevation above sea level.
When performing this In-Service Operational Ramp Test at higher
elevations, the vacuum should be reduced by 1 inch (1.13 Feet) for
each 1,000 feet [304 m] of elevation above 2,000 feet [609 m].
