Installation (continued)
The
Plastic Hanging Hook
(see fig. 3, H) may be fitted to a suitable horizontal tube using 2 cable ties (K), or can
be drilled with 2 holes and fitted (by 2 screws or bolts) to a flat surface. It is so designed that the cup of the
applicator can rest in the Plastic Hanging Hook.
Support Brackets
are supplied for each drop point; these serve both to hold the two T-pieces (F) and to support
the coil ends to avoid a direct pull on the connections. The Support Brackets (L) are designed to be fitted to a
horizontal tube using 2 cable ties (K) around the tubing (see fig. 3). If a suitable horizontal tube is not available,
then Support Brackets should be fitted by alternative means.
The 2 T-pieces (F) of the distribution line locate into either side of the Support Bracket (L) and are secured by
two cable ties (see fig. 3 K). The tubes from the twin tube coil (G) are pushed firmly into the respective T-pieces
(F) and are twisted slightly to rest in the guides; the tubes are then clamped in place by fitting the final section of
the bracket and securing it with a M4 bolt and lock-nut or a single cable tie (K). Although it is not essential that
the Black and Blue tails of drop coils are connected to specific distribution lines, it is preferable that the BLACK
tube is continuous across all drops and applicators.
Non-Return Valves (see fig. 1 V) - In this version of the AutoFoamer discreet Non-Return Valves are used.
2 Non-Return Valves are supplied with each Drop Point; these valves should be sited as indicated in fig. 5.
1 Non-Return Valve in the Air Supply tube
1 Non-Return Valve in the Liquid Supply
tube
The valves should both be sited immediately before
the Drop Coil Support Bracket with the GREY parts
(arrows) pointing towards the Foam Applicator.
The Non-Return Valves should be pushed well in to
fittings (typically 16mm minimum) to ensure proper
sealing with the internal O-ring. Valves may be
removed from the fittings by pushing in the collett
then pulling out the tubing (as per other push-fit
fittings used with this equipment).
Each Drop Point must have its own pair of Non-
Return Valves – hence the use of the T-pieces in the
distribution line where more than one Drop Point is
fitted.
WARNING –
the system will NOT produce foam
correctly if the Non-Return Valves
are missing or incorrectly fitted.
Fitting of the Foam Applicator to the Drop Coil is by way of the Manifold (M) which is delivered ready-fitted to
one end of the Drop Coil. The Manifold is screwed into the rear of the trigger assembly of the Foaming
Applicator and sealed with the O-ring which is fitted on the protruding end of the Manifold before screwing
carefully into the rear end of the gun body. Use the AmbiSpanner supplied to tighten the manifold hand-tight to
seal.
WARNING - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD FROM THE COIL
– you risk causing permanent
irreparable damage to the manifold (replacement drop coils are supplied with Manifold ready-fitted).
