The liquid port can not be higher than the minimum liquid level of the foam liquid storage tank by 1m , and the liquid suction port of the foam liquid pipe is not less than 0.15m from the bottom of the foam liquid storage tank , and is preferably made into a bell mouth shape;

Therefore, they cannot be installed reversely when installed. Otherwise, the foam cannot be sucked into the foam or the pump cannot foam into the foam so that the system cannot extinguish the fire. Therefore, when installing, special attention must be paid to the direction of the marking and the direction of flow.

(2 ) The installation of the foam proportioner ( device ) and the pipe connection must be tight and there must be no leakage. Otherwise, the mixing ratio will be affected.
