Plumbing, Hoses and Lines
All piping is stainless steel. Use of grooved end pipe couplings are required for flexibility and movement of system components on mobile equipment. The compressor hoses are made of Teflon and braded with stainless steel. Check valves are required throughout the system to maintain integrity and shall be placed so that the air, water foam and foam solution do not inadvertently mix. Drain valves are provided on the unit to completely drain the system to prevent freeze damage.
Tank to Pump
There is a 2.5” tank to pump suction valve fitted in the module and controlled from the operator’s panel.
Inlet
A gated 2.5 inlet is provided to draw water from the control panel with a 2.5” NH male connection and cap is provided. It is possible to use that line for “direct tank fill” operations with a pressurized water source.
Discharge Outlets
There are two (2) 1.5" NST male discharges with stainless steel, plumbing to panel, mounted CAFS discharge outlets.
Swing check valve is installed to prevent foam from back flowing into the pump. All the discharge valves are a fire grade quality valves.
1 1/2" NSTM WATER ONLY DISCHARGE VALVE ON CAFS SYSTEM
There shall be a 1 1/2" fire service type drop out style ball valve with 1 1/2" NSTM threads, cap and chain which shall have a hard-coated anodized, high-strength, light-weight aluminum alloy body with rugged stainless steel ball and two PTFE seats.
The valve shall be capable of bi-directional flow with a minimum working pressure rating of 250 psig.
All stainless steel parts shall be made from 300 series material. The valves shall NOT require lubrication of the seats or any other internal waterway component and shall be capable of swinging out of the attached waterway plumbing for easy maintenance, with the removal of six (6) to eight (8) bolts.
This valve shall be feed from the pump head in a manner so to NOT allow the induction of foam and/or air into its plumbing allowing it to maintain the fullest of it pumping capacity as restricted by the size of the pump / engine combination and not being restricted by the foam system limitations in plain water flow.
This valve shall be capable of clean water pumping operations simultaneous to the discharging of CAFS through the other manifolded discharges as specified.
This valve shall be operated at the pump panel within easy reach of the operator and be clearly labeled as a "WATER ONLY" discharge.
Tank Refill
A 1” tank refill line with a 1” Fire grade type ball valve and flexible, reinforced hose using internally expanded fittings to allow maximum flow.
Module Frame
The frame is constructed of steel and designed for rigorous fire service. The top of the module is an aluminum diamond-plate material, with hinge for a service access door.
All controls, inlets and discharges are clearly labeled. The labels comply with applicable NFPA standards.
Control Panel
A laser-cut control panel is mounted to the electrical box, which is of a water resistant design. The following items are marked in a logical manner on the control panel to provide for simple and easy operation.
Ignition switch
Vernier Throttle Control
High Temperature Engine Light
Low Pressure Oil Engine Light.

2 Drain Valves.
Testing
The competed unit shall undergo a manufacturers run-in test prior to delivery. The engine, pump and air compressor are operated for a minimum period of one day, during which time the test operator will monitor and record the functions and performance of each system component. Compressed air foam is produced during the test.
This testing will be performed to ensure proper system operation and performance prior to shipment. Water flow performance is measured using standard fire department test methods.
Manual
One (1) copy of the Operation and Maintenance Manual is provided to the purchaser with each unit. This manual includes detailed instructions in the operation and maintenance of the overall unit, engine, water pump, air compressor and foam proportionner.
