TurboFoam System Components
The TurboFoam system requires several components to function. This page will offer a brief overview only. Please refer to the system manual for a complete description of how these parts all work together to provide a complete solution.
The basic system includes a control module, the foam concentrate pump, a flow sensor, and miscellaneous plumbing components. Systems with two foam tank include an ABF selector valve.

Foam Pump Assembly

Foam Pump

The foam pump assembly provides the correct amount of foam concentrate into the discharge water flow to make a foam solution.

All of the components that make up the assembly are attached to the mounting base. The major components include an electric motor and pump, a control module, a relief valve, and a calibration bypass valve.

Electric ABF Selector

ABF (A foam, B foam, Flush)
Electric ABF Selector

The electric ABF selector is required on the TFC400 models. It allows the operator to chose between class A foam, class B foam, or flushing operations from the push buttons on the control module.

The ABF selector is installed between the foam tanks and the foam pump assembly intake. The electric model is made up of electric valves mounted on a manifold that controls the flow of foam concentrate or flush water into the system.

Electric ABF Selector Top View On each of the valve covers there is a dial indicator to show the valve position and a allen head control to manually change the valve.

Manual ABF Selector

ABF (A foam, B foam, Flush)
Manual ABF Selector

The manual ABF selector is an option with the TFC200 models. It allows the operator to choose between class A foam, class B foam, or flushing operations by rotating the selector valve handle.

The selector is connected between the foam tanks and the foam pump assembly intake.

Discharge Check Valve Assembly

There are two types of discharge check valve assemblies:

One includes a water way check valve, check valve injector port, and a drain. Discharge Check Valve Assembly One includes a flow sensor, water way check valve, check valve injector port, and a drain. Discharge Check Valve Assembly SM

Paddlewheel Discharge Flow Sensor

Flow Sensor

To meet the needs of modern firefighting, FRC utilizes a paddlewheel flow sensor which is rugged, simple and tough.

Flow Sensor and Mounts - This page provides information on the paddlewheel flow sensor, mounting options and the requirements for mounting locations.

Tank Float Switch

There are two types of tank float switches available from FRC:
Side Mount Tank Float Switch Bottom Mount Tank Float Switch
