These lightweight Pyrolite® In-Line Eductors are available in 60, 95, or 125 GPM. They also have the new Akron® detachable metering valve, with a larger metering dial that is easier to turn and read. This valve has an infinite number of settings between 0% and 6% with detents at .25%, .5%, 1%, 3% and 6%.
These Eductors operate equally well with Class A and B Foams while requiring little maintenance, and they are now available with higher flows and usable with longer hose lays with Class A foam. The inlet can be either a 1.5” or 2.5” female swivel and the discharge is always a 1.5” male thread. The weight on the complete unit, including pickup assembly, is only 3.5 lbs. The length, with the 1.5” discharge, is 7.75” and the 2.5” is 8.5”.
FOAM EDUCTOR FACTS:
• Eductor must be matched with nozzle of equal gallonage rating.
• Only a certain amount of hose can be used from eductor to nozzle (see chart)
• Optimum performance is achieved with 200 PSI inlet pressure but satisfactory results can be achieved with lower pressures.
• Eductors will work properly when mounted in a vertical position.
• The metering device must be thoroughly flushed or cleaned after every use.
FEATURES:
• Infinite number of settings between 0% and 6%
• Detents at 1/4%, 1/2%, 1%, 3%, and 6%
• Available in various flows: 60, 95, or 125 GPM
• Rated flow calibrated at 200 PSI Inlet Pressure
• Performs well with 75 PSI and 100 PSI rated nozzles
• Larger, easier-to-read metering dial with positive position stops
• Pickup tube of reinforced clear PVC hose to help prevent kinking
Various Operating Pressures
• Akron Eductors are designed to work at 200 PSI inlet pressure for maximum effectiveness. At 200 PSI, the mixture percentage will be as shown on the metering dial.
• Akron eductors will induct foam concentrate at pressures between 50 and 200 PSI. At lower pressures the flow of foam concentrate will remain the same; This means the percentage of concentrate will be higher than shown on the metering dial. Since the flow out of the eductor will be reduced at lower inlet pressures, the nozzle pressure will be lower. This may significantly reduce reach.
