AFS Foam Stations-1

DATA SHEET Approximate Shipping Weight AFS Foam StationsFeatures ■ Heavy gauge welded steel construction ■ Hot dipped galvanized reels ■ Epoxy corrosion-resistant painted stand ■ Greaseless polyethylene bearings ■ Lever-action friction brake ■ Prewound booster hose included ■ Optional hand crank available ■ UL Listed foam eductor - 60 or 95 gpm (227 or 360 Lpm) ■ Complete trim package with pick-up tube included ANSUL® AFS foam stations provide immediate operation in firefighting foam applications when connected to a pressurized water supply. Whether used in land based facilities or offshore applications, ANSUL foam stations offer the benefits of a rugged hot-dipped galvanized reel with a red epoxy corrosion resistant "CR" painted stand. The continuous-flow hose reel design offers an advantage over reels or racks equipped with collapsible hose, as only the amount of hose required is unreeled without kinks or twists. The reels are supplied with 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm) continuous-flow booster hose with NST (NH) hose couplings. Foam eductors are fixed flow rate devices that typically require flowing water pressure in the range of 100 to 200 psi (6.9 to 13.8 bar). Actual foam solution flow rate is a function of flowing (residual) water inlet pressure and K-Factor of the eductor selected. Typical applications involving water or firefighting foam include: ■ Truck Loading Racks ■ Chemical Processing Facilities ANSUL AFS foam stations contain a continuous-flow hose reel prewound with 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm) booster hose, reel support stand with epoxy corrosion-resistant "CR" paint system, foam eductor with orifice matched to type and concentration of foam required, and 55 gal (208 L) drum installation fittings with pick-up tube. The bottom of the frame contains four 5/8 in. (1.6 cm) mounting holes (for 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) bolts not provided). The foam concentrate in drums, along with the desired type of handline nozzle matched to the eductor, must be ordered separately. Please consult Johnson Controls for recommended nozzles to match with foam eductor flow. The continuous-flow hose reel assembly includes the hose reel prewound with the desired length of booster hose. This hose is a single, synthetic, reinforced braid booster hose with a 250 psi (17.2 bar) working pressure having a minimum burst pressure of 1000 psi (69.0 bar). Depending on the application, any ANSUL-supplied handline nozzle with 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm) NST threads can be used. This includes variable pattern fog/ straight stream nozzles suitable for water or AFFF applications, or air-aspirated low and medium-expansion foam nozzles. An optional hand crank is available to convert the standard rim rewind type reel to a hand crank rewind type reel.
