Foam Supply Kits<br />
New!<br />
Pick-up Foam from Alternate Sources<br />
Foam Supply Kit – Type #1 (P/N 81231001)<br />
This kit allows a built-in, by-pass foam eductor system (our model 240P)<br />
to utilize an off-board foam concentrate supply (5 gal. pails/buckets); either<br />
when the on-board supply has been depleted; or, to allow use of another type<br />
of foam concentrate..... The kit includes the following parts: one .750", quarterturn,<br />
inlet valve assembly with elbow, quick-connect female coupling and<br />
quick-connect plug with chain; a brushed<br />
stainless steel escutcheon plate; and a<br />
foam pick-up hose assembly with<br />
quick-connect male coupling.....<br />
Finish cast brass<br />
with chrome plated<br />
trim.<br />
Use Built-in Foam Tank with Portable Eductor<br />
Foam Supply Kit – Type #2 (P/N 81232001)<br />
This kit allows the use of an on-board foam concentrate tank with a portable foam eductor attached<br />
to a pump side discharge.... A quick-connect, pick-up tube assembly permits easy switching from 5<br />
gal. pails/buckets to the on-board supply tank and back<br />
again if necessary..... The kit includes the following<br />
parts: one .750", quarter turn, inlet valve assembly<br />
with elbow, quick-connect female<br />
coupling and quick-connect plug<br />
with chain; a brushed stainless<br />
steel escutcheon plate; and a foam<br />
pick-up hose assembly with quickconnect<br />
coupling between the hose and the<br />
pick-up tube..... Finish cast brass with chrome<br />
plated trim.<br />

Foam Supply Kits<br />
What is the hazard? (Non-ignited spill or burning spill)<br />
What is the fuel? (Hydrocarbon or polar solvent)<br />
What is the area of the hazard? (Square footage)<br />
What application density of AFFF is needed?<br />
N.F.P.A. Recommendations:<br />
Hydrocarbon-.10 GPM/Sq. Ft. (100 GPM/1,000 Sq. Ft.)<br />
Polar Solvent-.16 GPM/Sq. Ft. (100 GPM/1,000 Sq. Ft.)<br />
How much foam is on hand?<br />
N.F.P.A. Recommendations: (Foam for at least 15 minute application)<br />
95 GPM eductor @ 3%-45 gallons<br />
95 GPM eductor @ 6%-90 gallons<br />
What is eductor and nozzle capacity? (Nozzles must be matched with<br />
eductors)<br />
What is available water supply? (You may need to cool exposures<br />
while applying foam)<br />
Is mutual aid available? (Water, foam, eductors, etc.)<br />
Different types of foam are not compatible (i.e. AFFF and Protein)<br />
What is drain time and water/foam runoff conditions? (You may have<br />
to dike to secure area)<br />
What application technique is best for the situation? (Straight stream,<br />
power fog, foam tubes, cascade method, rain-drop method)
