Foam Pump Mounting
Position the foam pump and motor assembly in the
desired location on the apparatus. When installing
the foam pump and motor assembly, the assembly
should be kept in a HORIZONTAL position with the
base plate on the bottom (See Figure 7: “FoamLogix
Pump Installation.”)
Figure 7: FoamLogix Pump Installation
Although the system is sealed and designed to be
resistant to the harsh environment of fire fighting
apparatus, a compartment with easy operator
access is recommended.
The base plate of the foam pump and motor
assembly must be anchored to a surface or structure
that is rigid and of adequate strength to withstand
the vibration and stresses of apparatus operation.
Figure 8:
“Base Plate Mounting Hole Locations,” on
page 35, provides the mounting base dimensions
for the FoamLogix foam pump and motor assembly.
Make sure the foam concentrate hoses are properly
routed to the inlet and outlet on the foam pump.
Foam concentrate must gravity feed to the foam
pump inlet from the foam tank(s). The foam pump
must be mounted in an area to avoid excessive
engine exhaust system heat or accessory heat
buildup.
The base of the foam pump and motor assembly
includes
5/16” (8mm) diameter predrilled mounting
holes. The apparatus mounting location must to be
drilled accordingly. The base plate may be used as
a template to mark mounting hole location. Also see
Figure 8:
“Base Plate Mounting Hole Locations” on
page 35.
