Foam System Maintenance

The simplistic design of the Trident FOAMATE 2.1 Around-The-Pump foam system requires very little maintenance. The effects of dried 
foam concentrates on valves can hinder proper system operation, so it is strongly recommended that the system be thoroughly flushed 
after each use. There is no other routine system maintenance required.

Foamate 2.1 O-Ring Replacement Instructions

1.  Carefully read the following instructions and review metering 

valve exploded view on 

Page #9

 prior to valve disassembly.

2.  Always practice standard lock-out/tag-out procedures when 

doing any apparatus service.

3.  Foam tank shut-off valve must be closed.
4.  Place metering valve in the closed position.
5.  Refer to exploded view of metering valve on 

Page #9

 prior 

to metering valve disassembly. Make note of all component 
positions and match mark all components during disassembly 
to maintain correct orientation during reassembly. 

6.  Remove two (2) screws from metering valve handle and 

remove handle and flow indicator bar.

7.  Remove four (4) screws from metering valve flow indicator 

outer mounting plate.

8.  Remove four (4) screws from inner mounting plate/end cap.
9.  Remove internal snap ring from metering valve body.
10.  Pull cylinder from valve body.
11.  Remove and replace both O-Rings, applying a small amount of 

lubricant to each O-Ring. Use 

Parker Super O-Lube or equal.

 

See sketch above for proper O-Ring placement.

12.  Reinstall all components in reverse order of disassembly, 

maintaining original orientation.

13.  Check system for proper operation.
