The pump house provides a home for the water pump, pre-connected hose, equipment storage in the cargo area and plumbing options specific to each apparatus. Pierce pump houses are completely independent structures that are mounted separate from the body compartments.  Pierce® Control Zone™ pump panel configurations are ergonomically organized in horizontal rows. Components are arranged and installed in a manner designed for user-friendly operation. Labels for gauge controls, bezels and discharges are color coded for ease of use.    ## Configurations ### Side Mount with Speedlays A re-designed side control pump house with speedlays has the organized, horizontal layout, but is paired with a smaller pump house and improved maintenance access.   ![Side control pump with side mount speedlays on the driver’s side of a Pierce Fire Truck parked outside on a sunny day. ](https://www.piercemfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Fire%20Suppression/Speedlays-Pump-Panel-Driver-Side.jpg?width=4000&height=2663&name=Speedlays-Pump-Panel-Driver-Side.jpg)   ### Side Mount with Crosslays T-Handle valve controls are standard on side control pump house configurations.
