OPERATING MiniCAFS FROM A VEHICLE WATER SOURCE

1. Connect a suitable delivery hose and branch to the CAFS discharge.

φ38 to φ45mm

diameter layflat hose is suitable for delivering compressed air foam. If a single discharge
is being used, a

φ25 to φ38mm smooth bore nozzle would be suitable. If two delivery

hoses were to be deployed, then two

φ19 nozzles would be appropriate.


Note

: The best foam quality is produced using a smooth bore nozzle with the foam going

through the minimum number of valves and sharp bends. However, the scrubbing action
of the foam on the hose wall tends to improve the foam quality.

Note

: A standard fog nozzle can be used with CAFS if used on the ‘Flush’ setting. Using

the ‘Fog’ settings will severely degrade the foam quality.
