3. Secure the bracket and strainer/valve assembly
to the apparatus.
4. Select the appropriate fittings from the bag
attached to the strainer assembly. Two of each
fitting are included with the strainer assembly.
For fitting selection vs. type of foam concentrate
(see Figure 23
: In-Line Strainer/Valve
Installation ).
5. Coat all fitting threads with Permatex #80724 (or
equal) plastic pipe thread sealant. Install the
fittings into the strainer/valve assembly ends and
tighten.
6. Install the clear plastic hose from the foam tank
outlet to the inlet of the strainer/valve assembly.
(Figure 23
: In-Line Strainer/Valve Installation ).
Wet the ends of the hose and fittings to make
the installation easier.
CAUTION!
MAKE SURE THE FOAM TANK AND FOAM
CONCENTRATE SUCTION HOSES ARE CLEAN
BEFORE MAKING FINAL CONNECTION TO FOAM
PUMP. IF NECESSARY, FLUSH THE TANK AND
HOSES PRIOR TO MAKING THE CONNECTION.
7. Install the clear plastic hose from the in-line
strainer/valve assembly outlet to the inlet of the
Hale MDT II, Hale MST, foam concentrate
pump, or the correct fitting on Hale ADT.
FS SERIES STRAINER
When a pressurized water flush is provided to the
strainer from one of the discharges, Hale FS series
strainers are required. The plumbing exposed to the
flush water pressure must be rated at or above the
operating pressure of all other discharge plumbing
components (500 PSI/34 BAR minimum).
To Install FS Series Strainers
1. Choose a location on the apparatus that allows
gravity feed from the foam tank to the strainer
inlet and from the strainer outlet to the foam
pump suction connection.
2. When selecting the strainer location make sure
there is sufficient space behind the pump panel
to attach hoses and fittings. Also make sure the
inlet connection port is oriented correctly. (See
Figure 25
: FS Strainer Orientation ).
Figure 25 : FS Strainer Orientation
3. Remove the strainer cap, mounting screws and
nameplate from the strainer assembly.
4. Mark holes for mounting the foam strainer by
using the nameplate as a guide, or see Figure
26
: FS Strainer Mounting Dimensions .
5. Select the appropriate fittings to attach the
hoses to the strainer. Two of each fitting are
included with the strainer assembly. The fittings
and hoses must be capable of withstanding the
vacuum generated by the foam pump (23 inches
[584 mm] Hg) and the maximum flushing water
pressure (500 PSI [34 BAR]).
6. For FS-
15 strainers use 3/4” (19mm) NPT x 3/4”
hose fittings. For FS-
25 strainers use 1” (25mm)
NPT x 1” hose fittings.
7. Coat all fitting threads with a suitable thread
sealant. DO NO USE Teflon Tape. Install the
fittings into the strainer/valve assembly ends and
tighten.
