Install Plumbing
All TurboFoam system components are shipped with the plumbing fittings installed. The standard kit fittings
are in American National Pipe thread (an option is available for kit fittings to be British Standard Pipe thread).
Hose and hose fittings are not supplied in the kits. It is recommended that the installer use fittings with NPT
(National Pipe Taper) (or BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper)) threads to make all pressure line connections to
the system components.
A waterway check valve is required to prevent foam from entering the water pump. The waterway check
valve is available as an option in multiple sizes and with various configurations that include the flow sensor mount.
The flow sensor is mounted in the discharge line. Refer to Install Flow Sensor(s) for flow sensor location
and mounting information. The check valve injector is installed down stream.
There are four typical plumbing configurations for the TurboFoam system. Depended on the specific model
and optional equipment these may vary.
TFC100/200 Single Tank
TFC100/200/300 Single Tank with Electric Flush Valve
TFC200 Two Tank with Manual ABF Selector Valve
TFC400 Two Tank with Electric ABF Selector Valve
Refer to the plumbing diagrams for detailed information.
Foam Tank and Concentrate Pump Intake Low Pressure Lines
Clear Suction Hose, 23" (584mm) Hg Vacuum, 50 PSI (3 bar)
Connect the tanks to the selector valves and/or the concentrate pump input. Check valves need to be installed
to protect the tanks from water infiltration. A strainer is required to protect the input to the concentrate pump.
Concentrate Pump Intake High Pressure Lines
Clear Suction/Pressure Hose, 23" (584mm) Hg Vacuum, 500 PSI (34 bar)
Except 2.1 GPM requires 650 PSI (45 bar)
Connect the selector or flush valves to the concentrate pump input. All lines and fittings down stream of the
flush valve are required to be for high pressure.
Water Flush and Foam Concentrate Injection High Pressure Lines
Pressure Hose, 23" (584mm) Hg Vacuum, 500 PSI (34 bar)
Except 2.1 GPM requires 650 PSI (45 bar)
Connect the water flush line to the selector valve and/or tank line tee. The water flush line requires a check
valve and strainer. Connect the concentrate pump pressure output to the check valve injector.
