FoamPak Foam System
Viking FoamPak System
The Viking FoamPak foam pumping assembly is a foam concentrate delivery system incorporating UL Listed and FM Approved components. The FoamPak can supply foam concentrate to concentrate injection piping running above or below ground and over long distances.
The Viking FoamPak is for use when a positive pressure proportioning foam system is the preferred method or when a central foam reserve with multiple remote injection points is required giving ultimate foam system flexibility.
System flexibility
The Viking FoamPak is a pre-fabricated and tested foam pumping system incorporating a foam pump, pre-wired pump controller, pressure sustaining valve and pressure relief valve.
The system piping is of stainless steel construction and includes the supply and discharge piping connections, auxiliary flushing connections, concentrate discharge check valve, pressure sustaining valve, pump casing relief valve and concentrate supply strainer.
Foam pump
The integrated UL Listed and FM Approved positive displacement rotary gear foam pump is capable of withstanding any of the corrosive environments or viscosities that are present with foam concentrates. It is also capable of dry operation. A 6-year foam pump manufacturer warranty is included. The foam pump and FoamPak is 100% compliant with NFPA 11 and 20 standards.
Viking FoamPak and ILBP
The Viking FoamPak can be used with the Viking model VLF Inline Balanced Pressure Proportioner (ILBP) which is UL Listed and FM Approved with numerous Viking and Fomtec branded foam concentrates.
When used with an ILBP, the FoamPak assembly accurately pumps and proportions foam concentrate into a water supply producing a foam solution for distribution to the fire protection system’s discharge devices such as monitors, grate nozzles or foam chambers.
