- Husky® is designed for Class A and B foams including high-viscosity, polar solvent class B foams (up to 6000 centipoise).
- Electronic digital foam proportioning system improves responsiveness, reliability, and accuracy through a range of 75 psi to 250 psi.
- On-demand design ensures no foam is bypassed back to the foam tank or recirculated through the foam pump.
- Foam systems are capable of using the vehicle's water tank, high-pressure hydrant or draft as a water source.
- Foam systems can draft foam concentrate from an outside source, allowing extended foam operation.
- Uses a lower electrical load, helping to create a lower-cost system that requires less power from the chassis, and prevents overloading during tough fire calls. Husky is the only municipal-market foam system with this feature.
- The system shall properly proportion as low as 35 GPM at .3% for mop-up applications.
- Warranty: Five years on the electronic controller and display head.
