Low Expansion FB5X Foam Branch Pipe
The Fire Force series of low expansion foam branch pipes has been designed with long range performance in mind. There are three basic models with nominal foam solution throughputs of 225, 450 and 900 liters/mm at 7 bar. Self-inducing models are available in the 225 and 450 liter/minute versions. All models produce finished foams of nominal expansion 10 : 1 and give foam streams of and exceptional range. To get the best results from these branch pipes we recommend use with either Tank master Fluor protein foam or Alco seal AR-FFFP multi-purpose foam concentrate. The/SI models are fitted with a self inducing inlet connection, foam concentrate pick-up tube and piercer.
Using an Inductor
Fire Force Low Expansion Foam Branch pipes have been designed to match the characteristics of Foam Inductors.Correct matching is essential if optimum performance is to be obtained. If the flow rating of the branch pipe is greater than that of the inductor, throw from the branch pipe will be reduced. If the flow rating of the branch pipes is less than that of the inductor, induction may cease.
Fittings
Low Expansion FB 5X Foam Branch pipes are normally supplied with a 2 1/2 “ British Instantaneous coupling to BS 336 in light alloy / Brass, or a 2” BSP (m) threaded connection.
