MOUNT UNIT:
Foamate 1.0 unit may be panel mounted or bracket mounted.
▶For panel mount; remove knob, faceplate, wheel and faceplate carrier to
remove brass washer as noted above. Match-mark the wheel holes for
reassembly. After cutting hole in panel as shown in diagram, insert the
Foamate body from behind the panel, with the panel replacing the brass
washer (panel thickness must be 1⁄8") and reassemble components outside the
panel in reverse order as disassembled above.
▶For bracket mount use the (4) 1⁄4"-20 tapped holes on the back of the Foamate
body to connect a simple bracket that locates the unit in a convenient
location, using diagram shown.
PLUMB UNIT:
The Foamate 1.0 is supplied with (2) 3⁄4" F NPT strainers.
▶Tee a line of at least 1⁄4" ID from the discharge of the pump to the water
strainer and from the strainer to “water-in” connection on the Foamate as
shown. Note a 1⁄2" ball valve can be plumbed to the strainer for easy ushing.
▶Connect another line at least 3⁄8" ID from the “solution-out” back to the pump
suction as shown. If the line length exceeds 5', use 1⁄2" ID line to reduce back
pressure.
▶Finally, connect a line at least 3⁄4" ID from the foam source to the foam strainer,
and from the strainer to the “foam-in” 3⁄4" GHT connection on the back of the
Foamate.
OPERATE UNIT:
The Foamate 1.0 is designed to be very user friendly, and the
operating instructions are printed right on the control head.
▶Start by selecting the Class A Foam percentage desired, 0.25, 0.50, or 1.0%.
This is accomplished by rotating the black rimmed window in the upper left
corner until the arrow head (just to the left of the CIRCULAR window) points
to the desired foam percentage.
▶Then rotate the outer wheel to match the total nozzle Flow GPM. This will
match the nozzle ow rating at 100 PSIG [6.9 BAR]. The ow GPM is read
inside the circular window on the upper left corner Foam percent selector
mentioned above.
▶Run the pump up to a discharge pressure of 100 PSIG [6.9 BAR], this will
provide for optimum foam proportioning accuracy.
▶Open the center knob by turning to the right (clockwise) to ON to begin foam
injection.
▶When foam is not desired, turn the center knob to the left (counter-clockwise)
to OFF. This will also allow for constant ushing.
▶Clean water and foam Wye-strainers as required. This is done by removing
the 1⁄2" NPT plug and cleaning-out strainer element, or by opening the 1⁄2"
valve (if provided) on the water strainer.

NOTE: The Foamate 1.0 is designed to operate accurately at a pump discharge
pressure of 100 PSIG [6.9 BAR] (± 10 PSIG [.07 BAR]).
The unit can be either panel or bracket mounted. See other side.
NOTE: This device is available in either GPM (P/N: 31.008.0) or
LPM (P/N: 31.008.1) dial plate versions.
Operation:
Select the desired foam percentage by using the black selector ring in upper
left of Foamate 1.0 control.
Rotate the blue outer adjusting ring to select the desired nozzle GPM or LPM.
Turn center knob of Foamate control to “ON” to begin foam ow.

Foamate 1.0 Modication for
High Pressure Operation
NOTE: The Foamate 1.0 is designed to operate
accurately at a pump discharge pressure of 100 PSIG
(± 10 PSIG).
The Foamate 1.0 plumbing can be modied to operate
at higher pump pressures by adding a 1⁄4" valve
(pressure reducing) and a pressure gauge in the
piping before the Foamate inlet as shown in the green
highlighted area at right.
