EQUIPMENT TO BE USED WITH PYROCAP B-136™

             PYROCAP B-136™ turns water into a kind of “Super-water”. For that reason, 
all equipment and application techniques used for delivering PYROCAP B-136™ are 
similar to those used with water. The agent may be premixed in pumper engine holding 
tanks, or proportioned with standard eduction equipment. 
 
 
 

Nozzles 

 
              PYROCAP B-136™ is most effective with non-aspirated nozzles, such as the 
Task Force nozzle, or equivalent, which is adjustable from straight stream to fog 
settings. 
 
 
 

Eductors 

 
               For PYROCAP B-136™ at 1, 3, or 6 percent concentration, eductors should be 
set in the “water” position, and the pickup tube inserted in a 5-gallon container of the 
product. Pressure at the pump should be sufficient to give 100 psi at the nozzle. 
Generally, pressure of 200 psi at the pump will be sufficient, although a loss of pressure 
to friction in the piping may require greater pressure. Nozzles and eductors must be 
compatible to ensure effective use. 
 
               The flow of PYROCAP B-136™ should be metered at the eductor at 1, 3, or 6 
percent, and the flow rate of delivery of agent-enhanced water will generally be 95 gpm 
for Classes A, B, and D fires. 
 

Concentration setting recommended: 

 

Class A  - 1 to 3% 
Class B  - 6% 
Class D  - 6%
