Because of the potential differences in apparatus
plumbing and foam system configuration, it is not
practical to depict exactly how each FoamPro unit can
best be installed onto a particular apparatus. Most of
the information contained in the following sections,
however, will apply to any situation.
It is recommended that you read the following sections
thoroughly before beginning installation of the FoamPro
system. It is also recommended that you spend time
planning and designing where and how you intend to
install this unit in the apparatus before beginning the
actual installation.
Determine the location of the components to be
installed such as: foam tank, water tank, foam system,
and display panel. Try to position the components to
minimize fittings and hose lengths. Position the system
in an accessible area.
For best performance, the foam system should be
positioned below the foam tank discharge to allow
gravity feed to the pump. The foam system will draft up
to three feet. Place the foam tank where refilling with 5
gallon [19 liter] containers and other methods is suitable
for the end user.
Determine a location for the display panel on the
unit that is visually accessible while the system is in
operation. The display panel should be located on the
same horizontal plane as the system and foam tank for
best possible performance.
Determine a safe place for the thermal relief valve drain
hose, and be sure it drains in a safe location away from
operator.
