The Hale pre-made stainless steel foam manifolds are recommended. The
manifolds are available in kits and eliminate the extra labor and leaks from
large pipe thread connections.
The manifolds use 3” (76mm) Victaulic connections and are available in sin-
gle or dual check valve configurations. (See Figure 3-6: “Typical Check
Valve Manifold Installation,” on page 59.)
Note: When the manifold is installed, the drain tap must be placed in the “down”
position and plumbed to an individual drain.
When properly mounted, the flow sensor and check valve/injector fitting are
on the side of the manifold and one of the drain ports is on the bottom. The
flow sensor should point upwards slightly to allow drainage of water and
sediment. (See Figure 3-9: “Flow Sensor Tee Position Range,” on page 62.)
Optional Hale Piping Components
Hale piping components, such as 3” (76mm) and 4” (102mm) wafer-type
check valves, “115” and “2433” series flanges, mini manifold, etc. are avail-
able to simplify installation of water and foam solution discharge piping.
The arrangement shown in Figure 3-7: “Typical Midship Pump Installation”
on page 61, provides accurate proportioning across a wide range for up to
four discharges from the mini manifold.
The Hale mini manifold provides a 1” (25.4mm) NPT tap for installation of
the check valve/injector fitting.
The Hale mini manifold and elbow components offer 4-3/8” (111mm) diame-
ter bolt circles and minimize fabrication and pipe work.
Figure 3-8: “4” (102mm) Check Valve Installation” on page 61 shows a sug-
gested installation arrangement using Hale 4” check valves, pipe and Hale
“2433” flanges.
