D. Base Clamps
The rapid action lever clamp is perfect for applications where
vibration causes a conventional clamp to “walk.” The lever clamp
stays firm in place even when operating at high PSI and/or GPM.
The main rail, jaw, and pressure plate are made from single cold
drawn, torsion-resistant steel that has been tempered and electro-
galvanized to withstand high static stress loads, and provide
maximum tensile strength & sturdiness. The sliding clamp arm is
also made from a drop-forged, tempered, and electro-galvanized
steel to ensure perfect fit and positioning for the life of the clamp.
E. SIDEWINDER™ EXM Monitor
The Sidewinder™ EXM monitor is specially designed for
severe duty cycles. Unique waterway swivel joints utilize
stainless steel thrust rods and needle roller thrust bearings for
unprecedented durability for fighting high-rise fires. The
monitor is controlled by an upgraded Radio Frequency (RF)
handheld controller.
The high power, permanent magnet variable speed DC gear
motors that drive the left-right and up-down movement are
NEMA 4 rated for use in harsh environments. The
Sidewinder™ EXM monitor has a flow efficient 2-1/4” vaned
waterway to minimize turbulence and provide superior nozzle
streams. The water supply connection at the monitor base is
connected to our patented quick connect coupler, and the
discharge nozzle connection has a 2-1/2” national hose male
thread.
This innovative quick connect/disconnect technology is the
perfect addition to the HEROPipe™ System and Sidewinder™
EXM unity. During a high-rise incident there are multiple
safety precautions that must be implemented. This quick
connect system was specifically engineered for the fast,
effective and reliable connection of the Sidewinder™ EXM.
Caution: All SIDEWINDER™ EXM monitor motors are 12VDC.
Caution: Use only Elkhart Brass recommended nozzles.
