Waterous Slide in CAFS System, 70-35-GP-FT
Slide Into Enhanced Portable Power

The Waterous Slide in CAFS System is a slide-in, modular, portable compressed air foam unit designed and constructed to discharge water, foam solution or compressed air foam.

The system develops a minimum of 35 GPM of water at 100 PSIG (132 L/min @ 6.9 bar) and 35 CFM of air at 100 PSIG (0.9 m3/min @ 6.9 bar) simultaneously and compressed air foam discharge pressures up to 130 PSIG (9 bar).

Warranty:

• Waterous Five-Year Limited Warranty

Benefits of Compressed Air Foam:

• 80% of water content in the foam is
• effectively used for fire fighting
• Improved firefighter safety
• Faster knockdown time
• Less property damage
• Less water used

Air Compressor:

• 4-cylinder rotary screw that is rated at 35 scfm (.9 m3/min) equipped with a low oil pressure warning light.

Auto Sync Balancing System:
Automatically maintains the air pressure within +/- 5% of the water pump pressure throughout the pressure range. The Auto Sync Balancing System is located on the operator's panel and allows for the following modes:

• Automatic - Air pressure matched to water pressure
• Fixed - Air pressure defaults to manual setting on compressor mounted control valve
• Unload - Air pressure reduced to 40 psig (2.8 bar) for standby operations

Compressed Air Delivery:
All air hoses, fittings and piping are rated to a minimum of 250 psi (17.5 bar). Locations where discharge air runs at high temperatures, stainless steel wire braid reinforced Teflon hoses are used. Brass or bronze air check valves are utilized at plumbing air injection points to prevent water or foam back flow into the air lines.

Inlet:
Inlet piping is 1.5" brass pipe with a 2" 3-way tank to pump / overboard suction with a 1-1/2" NST female swivel hose connection.

Discharge:
Plumbing to one 1.5" discharge outlet is 1-1/2" brass pipe and 1-1/2" high-pressure hydraulic hose with brass or stainless steel fittings. Discharge valve is a full-flow, quarter-turn type constructed of bronze. Check valves of bronze or brass are installed in each discharge to prevent foam back flow into the water pump. A 1" tank fill valve for connection to a booster tank is also provided.

Drains:
Panel mounted drain valves are provided to drain water from the water pump, discharge manifold and compressor cooler.

Foam Proportioner:
Fire Troll FT-150 System: The fire troll meters the percentage of foam concentrate, based on current flow into the water stream. A check valve ahead of the foam injection point prevents back flow. The Fire Troll control valve is mounted on the pump panel and allows for foam percentages up to 1% mix ratio.
