foam controls. A cover plate shall be provided on the pump panel in the area set aside for the foam
controls.

Shop Note: The cutout shall be for a FoamPro 2001 foam system.

PLUMBING MANIFOLD
The plumbing manifold shall consist of a two (2) part assembly that includes the inlet side manifold and
the discharge side manifold. Galvanized Victaulic couplings shall be used wherever possible for ease of
maintenance and superior corrosion protection.

The inlet side of the plumbing manifold shall utilize schedule 10, 304 grade stainless steel tubing and
preformed elbows for inlets that are larger than 3”. Side auxiliary inlets that are 3” or smaller shall utilize
schedule 40, 304 grade stainless steel tubing and preformed elbows. The inlet manifold shall thread into
the pump auxiliary inlet ports and each inlet valve shall thread onto the inlet manifold.

The discharge side of the plumbing manifold shall utilize schedule 10, 304 grade stainless steel tubing
and preformed elbows. The discharge manifold shall connect to the pump discharge ports using ½”
stainless steel flanges that shall be machined to seat an O-ring to ensure a leak proof seal. Each
discharge shall derive from a port on the manifold assembly connected to a discharge valve with 1/2” 304
grade stainless steel flanges. Discharges that terminate in a location other than the pump module (i.e.
rear discharges) shall utilize a combination of high pressure flex hose and schedule 10, 304 grade
stainless steel tubing to allow flexibility between the body and the pump module.

3" TANK-TO-PUMP
There shall be a 3" tank-to-pump plumbed with a Class 1 flexible hose from the tank to the suction side of
the pump.

An Akron Brass model 8830 3" Swing-Out™ valve shall be provided. The valve shall have an all brass
body with flow optimizing stainless steel ball and dual polymer seats. The valve shall be capable of dual
directional flow while incorporating a self-locking ball feature using an automatic friction lock design and
specially designed flow optimizing stainless steel ball. The valve shall not require lubrication of seats or
any other internal waterway parts, and must be capable of swinging out of the waterway for maintenance
by the removal of six bolts. The valve shall also include a necessary B3-SH pump flange adapter, which
shall be specifically used for the tank-to-pump line to properly adjust the plumbing based on the pitch of
the pump. The valve shall carry a ten (10) year warranty by the valve manufacturer.

The valve shall be actuated by an Akron Brass model R1 manual actuator installed on the valve.
The manual actuator shall be controlled by a Trident push/pull T-handle. The handle shall be chrome
plated with a recessed ID label.

There shall be a check valve between the pump suction and the booster tank valve. The check valve shall
eliminate back flow into the water tank when the pump is connected to a pressurized source.
