Benefits of an External Pickup Tube - Enhancing Your Foam System
With a pick-up tube, the system can use either Class A or Class B foam; that is a huge advantage in operation
capabilities!
With a pick-up tube, there is no need to fill the on board tank while operating during an incident; this enhances
safety by keeping members off of the top of the truck and improves efficiency and suppression capability.
With a pick-up tube, training with water in place of foam makes your drills with the foam system very easy,
convenient and inexpensive. Your on-board tank foam supply remains intact and your cleanup / back in service
time is diminished. Also, there are no environmental issues while training with water.
