3.4 INSTALLER SUPPLIED COMPONENTS
Due to the many differences in apparatus configurations and design
requirements, the Hale FoamLogix system installer must supply compo-
nents, such as,
❑ Mounting brackets
❑ Piping
❑ Hoses
❑ Fittings
❑ Electrical wiring
The following guidelines are recommendations for selection of additional
components for a complete system installation. These recommendations
reflect materials and components that are tested extensively with Hale
FoamLogix systems and provide proven reliable performance.
Foam Concentrate Suction Hose
The system installer must supply fittings and hoses from the foam tank to
the inlet of the foam pump. All components selected transfer foam concen-
trate, therefore they must be compatible with the foam concentrates being
used in the system.
Hoses for Class “A” foam concentrates have minimum 3/4” (19mm) inside
diameter. Hoses for Class “B” foam concentrates must have a minimum 1”
(25.4mm) inside diameter due to higher viscosity of the concentrate.
Note: Certain types of Class “B” AFFF-ARC or ATC concentrates require a
1-1/4” or 1-1/2” (32mm or 38mm) ID foam concentrate supply line.
Hoses for the foam concentrate suction that are not subject to high pres-
sure, i.e., flushing water or foam concentrate discharge, must have a rating
of 23” (584.2mm) Hg vacuum and 50 PSI (3.5 BAR) pressure or greater.
Note: NFPA requires that foam concentrate suction hose be clear to observe
foam concentrate flow during foam pump operations.
