IMPORTANT !
WHEN DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF THE HALE FOAMLOGIX COMPO-
NENTS BEING INSTALLED KEEP IN MIND PIPING RUNS, CABLE ROUTING
AND OTHER INTERFERENCES THAT COULD HINDER OR INTERFERE WITH
PROPER SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.
3.1 FOAM PUMP AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY
Ideally, the foam pump and motor assembly should be located in an area
that is protected from road debris and excessive heat buildup. The back of
a compartment or a compartment shelf is often an ideal location. The foam
system master power switch and bypass valve are located on the foam
pump and motor assembly. Access to these components must be
provided.
The foam pump and motor assembly must be mounted below the discharge
of the foam tank(s) to provide for gravity feed to the foam pump. The foam
tank(s) must be located where refilling can be easily accomplished with 5
gallon (19 liter) pails and other methods suitable to the end user. Most
water tank manufacturers build the foam tank into the booster tank.
When specifying a foam tank(s), make sure provisions are made for:
❑ Installation of the low tank level sensor
❑ Foam suction connections
❑ Tank drainage
❑ Proper fill openings, per NFPA requirements
In addition, a foam tank refill system may be required. See Hale EZFill
Foam Tank Refill System for these installation requirements.
3.2 FOAM CONCENTRATE STRAINER
Determine a location on the apparatus to mount the foam strainer.
CAUTION !
THE IN-LINE STRAINER/VALVE ASSEMBLY IS A LOW PRESSURE DEVICE
THAT WILL NOT WITHSTAND FLUSHING WATER PRESSURE. WHEN
INSTALLING THE IN-LINE STRAINER IN SYSTEMS EQUIPPED WITH HALE
“MDT II” OR HALE “MST,” MAKE SURE THE IN-LINE STRAINER/VALVE
ASSEMBLY IS IN THE HOSE ON THE INLET SIDE OF THE VALVE.
