Selecting the Hose
Select a hose rated for CAFS use for best performance.
Selecting the Nozzle
You can use a variety of nozzle types and sizes to discharge compressed air
foam. Consider the following when selecting the nozzle:
•
Smooth bore nozzles provide best foam performance.
•
Smaller diameter nozzle tip produce a wetter foam and larger diameter
nozzle tip produce a dryer foam.
•
Fog nozzles tend to break down the foam structure making a wetter less
expansive foam.
Understanding the Waterway Valves
Use the valves to manage the water flow in the system. The valves perform the
following functions:
Tank to Pump Valve
• Controls whether the water source is the on-board tank or the suction
intake on the operator panel.
• Always operate the valve fully open or fully closed.
Clear Water Discharge Valve
•
Controls whether the water flows to the clear water outlet on the
operator panel.
• It is possible to operate the CAFS and clear water discharge given an
adequate water supply is flowing through the pump.
Tank fill
•
Allows water to flow from the suction in-take to fill the on-board tank.
• Allows water to recirculate to prevent the pump from overheating.
