Our brass, corrosion-resistant eductors enable variable metering at 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 3.0% and 6.0%. CHEMGUARD in-line eductor system includes the metering valve and an 8-foot pickup-hose assembly.

Chemguard Precision Foam Test Kit

The CHEMGUARD Precision Foam Solution Test Kit allows fire protection professionals to determine the proportioning accuracy of fixed foam systems, mobile foam systems, and portable foam equipment. A complete testing system, the kit includes all the components needed to test discharged foam solution.

The Chemguard Precision Foam Solution Test Kit is a complete testing system, designed to assist the fire protection professional in determining the proportioning accuracy of mobile foam equipment and apparatus, fixed foam systems, and portable foam equipment. This kit contains everything normally needed, except for the foam to determine if foam solution discharged from a system or apparatus is mixed or proportioned as recommended by the foam concentrate manufacturer. The test kit utilizes conductivity, a measurement of the ability of liquids to conduct electricity, to determine the amount of foam concentrate in foam solutions.

Chemguard Water-Powered Oscillating Monitors

CHEMGUARD Water-Powered Oscillating Monitors are designed to automatically oscillate over a preset arc upon system activation, allowing discharge over a wide design area without manual intervention or the use of electrical power. These are intended for use in firefighting foam systems according to NFPA 11, NFPA 409, and/or NFPA 418, typically found in high risk areas such as tank farm facilities, refineries, aircraft hangars, and heliports.

A water drive wheel connected to a double reduction gearbox drives the oscillating monitor. To operate the drive wheel, a small quantity of flow is diverted from the monitor inlet. The monitor requires no external wiring or hydraulic control for operation. The vertical angle of elevation and horizontal arc of oscillation is field adjustable and can be set and locked in position. The monitor can be set to oscillate over a range of 0° to 120° and the location of the oscillation arc may be set anywhere within the 360° field of operation. Elevation range of the unit is between 65° and -40°.

Chemguard Mobile Equipment

CHEMGUARD mobile foam equipment – designed and engineered to customers’ specifications – are found in a wide variety of critical applications, from tank farms, mines, marine operations, and airports to municipal fire departments and transportation facilities.

Chemguard Pump Skids

CHEMGUARD balanced-pressure proportioning pump skids and in-line balanced-pressure (ILBP) proportioning pump skids are designed and manufactured for a wide range of applications. Often used for fire protection in large facilities – such as aircraft hangars and flammable-liquid storage areas – CHEMGUARD pump skids are designed to deliver large quantities of foam concentrate, accurately proportioned into the water stream.

Chemguard Bladder Tanks

Bladder Tanks are a component of a balanced pressure proportioning system that includes a pressure-rated tank with an internal elastomeric bladder for foam concentrate storage. Upon system actuation, incoming water applies pressure to the concentrate in the bladder, which supplies pressurized concentrate to the proportioning device. The device meters the foam concentrate into the fire water line, creating foam solution. The solution is then piped to the discharge devices protecting the hazard area.

Chemguard Proportioning Equipment

The broad line of CHEMGUARD state-of-the-art proportioning devices include, line proportioners (eductors), ratio-flow controllers, and the trade proportioner. Rugged, high-quality, and proven, these devices accurately and dependably proportion foam and water in a variety of applications.

Chemguard High-Expansion Foam Generators

CHEMGUARD high-powered, high-expansion foam generators deliver high- or medium-expansion foams. Water, electric, or diesel powered, CHEMGUARD high-expansion foam generators are primarily used for firefighting in aircraft hangars and other structures, in mines, on ships and vehicles, and on military installations. Our foam generators also are effective in controlling fuel spill fires and wildland fire timber breaks.

CHEMGUARD high-expansion foam generators are available in sizes from 1,000 to 26,400 cubic feet per minute. Smaller models are available for use as portable generators or in fixed installations.

Chemguard Foam Chambers

Designed to deliver foam directly onto the surface of flammable or combustible liquid and lessen submergence of the foam, CHEMGUARD foam chambers are installed on flammable liquid storage tanks just below the roof joint. Flow rates for these UL Listed, type 2 discharge devices (NFPA 11), can vary, depending on the application.

Foam solution is supplied to a chamber from outside the hazard area, either from a fixed foam-storage and proportioning system or from a dry-pipe semi-fixed system that receives foam solution from a mobile foam apparatus. Upon entering the chamber the foam solution is expanded and then discharged against a deflector mounted inside the storage tank. The deflector (split or solid) directs the foam against the inside wall of the storage tank, reducing the agitation of the fuel.

CHEMGUARD foam chambers are suitable for use with hydrocarbons or polar solvent fuels, as well as with all low-expansion foam concentrates, proteins, and synthetics.

Chemguard Foam Makers

Designed as air aspirating discharge devices, CHEMGUARD foam makers are used principally to help protect dikes, open floating-roof storage tanks, and rim seals, and where low-velocity foam streams are desired. Foam makers generally are installed in the line of a semi-fixed or fixed foam fire protection system, mounted either horizontally or vertically.

UL Listed, CHEMGUARD foam makers feature all-brass construction for use in harsh and corrosive environments. Foam maker air inlets are covered with stainless tell mesh, and the foam makers are supplied with standard NPT threaded inlets and outlets.

Chemguard Foam Pumps

CHEMGUARD foam concentrate pumps boast corrosion resistant bass and stainless steel construction, and are designed for use with all types of firefighting foam concentrates.

The pumps are listed by Underwriters Laboratories as meeting the stringent requirements of UL 448C, the Standard for Stationary, Rotary-Type, Positive-Displacement Pumps for Fire Protection Service, and Factory Mutual Listed class 1313, and are furnished complete with pressure relief valves which also meet the requirements of these standards.

Chemguard Pre-Assembled Firefighting Stations

CHEMGUARD fixed firefighting foam stations are used to help control fires or spills of flammable or combustible liquids. Commonly installed in process, handling, and storage areas, CHEMGUARD foam firefighting stations are available in a bladder-tank style and as self-contained units.

CHEMGUARD foam stations – which require only water pressure for operation – hold 60 gallons of any type of foam concentrate. The 95 gallons per minute proportioner is mounted so the valve can be manually closed. The foam firefighting stations include a hose reel containing 100 feet of 1½ inch hose and a handline nozzle.

Chemguard Foam Concentrate Storage Tanks

Standard Chemguard Atmospheric Foam Concentrate Storage Tanks are manufactured in Crosslinked polyethylene in vertical configuration. Chemguard also offers custom made tanks in stainless steel (304 or 316), carbon steel, and fiberglass. Vertical tanks are normally manufactured with flat bottoms and dome tops and horizontal tanks sit on saddles.

The fiberglass and polyethylene tanks do not have expansion domes due to the dome shape of the top of the tank. Inspection hatches are provided on both style tanks. Regardless of the material of construction, a pressure/vacuum vent must be installed. This is normally installed on the inspection hatch on the fiberglass or molded polyethylene tanks and on the cover of the expansion dome on the carbon or stainless steel tank.
