The supply hose routes the concentrate from the supply tank to pump. Refer to
the
"Overview Diagram—Typical" on page 20
for the instructions in this
section. The supply hose is required to meet the following specifications:
• Minimum 3/4 inch inside diameter for AQUIS 1.5 and 3.0
• Minimum 1 inch inside diameter for AQUIS 6.0
• Minimum 23 inHg (0.78 bar) of vacuum
• Maximum 50 psi (3.45 bar) of pressure
• Reinforced clear wall as required by NFPA
1.
Route and connect the supply hose from the supply tank shutoff valve to
the foam pump intake.
Note:

Refer to the
"Overview Diagram—Typical" on page 20
for the instructions
in this section. The hose is required to meet the following specifications:
• Minimum 3/8 inch inside diameter—AQUIS 1.5 and AQUIS 3.0
• Minimum 1/2 inch inside diameter—AQUIS 6.0
• Minimum 450 psi (31 bar) of pressure
1. Connect one end of the hose to the output on the foam pump.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the concentrate injector check valve.
3. Use cable ties to secure the hoses to the apparatus.
