FIRE FIGHTING FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEMS
OPERATING INFORMATION
Operators of
QUENCHMASTER
Foam Proportioning Units should be aware that if delivery
nozzles are shut down for any prolonged period, the metering valve on the Control Unit
should be set to the 'OFF' position.
This is necessary to prevent the foam solution from being drawn into the system during the
shut down period. Whilst the amount of foam concentrate used during the period of shut
down is minimal, it is good policy to adopt this procedure at all times.
Delivery nozzles should be opened regularly to allow the foam solution to flow for a short
period, to ensure that overheating of the pump does not occur.
