Description

The Chemguard Water Powered Oscillating Monitor Station is a self-contained unit that relies only on water flow and pressure to place the system into operation. It is designed to be installed in an aircraft hangar for under-wing protection. It has a tank capacity from 100–300 gallons of foam concentration, oscillating monitor and a 500 gpm self-educting nozzle.  All that is required to place the unit in operation is to fill the foam concentrate storage tank with the correct type and quantity of foam concentrate and connect a suitable water source to the inlet.

FEATURES

  • Nozzle is a self-educting, non air-aspirating type, which has a better stream and gives a constant flow whether on straight stream or fog patterns. Nozzle flow rate is 350, 500, 750 or 1000 gpm @ 100 psi.
  • Foam concentrate storage tank is manufactured of type 316 stainless steel.
  • Pick-up tube has manual ball valve that can be closed to be used with water only.
