Hale recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Hale Products Inc. (Hale) is recalling certain 6 Inch Suction Strainers, part number 010-0030-00-0, manufactured July 15, 2015, to March 30, 2016. The affected strainers may have been improperly soldered leaving the strainer weak, which can cause the strainer to break and allow the strainer and debris to enter and possibly damage the fire pump.
What could happen
If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Hale will replace the defective strainers with new strainers, next day air, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2016. Owners may contact Hale Products at 1-800-533-3569.
