Description
The vessel has a standard 2.5” (M)NST discharge connection with an intuitive control panel. It can be easily transported by forklift or crane with built-in fork holes and lifting frame/eyes. It can also be secured onto a truck, trailer or other platform with its mounting holes in the lower skid. Once the job is done, the vessel venting feature relieves pressure from the vessel safely and with ease. The venting nitrogen can be used to “pre-clean” the hoses followed by switching to pure nitrogen for thorough cleaning of the hoses. For sustained attacks, the vessel can be refilled, and the nitrogen cylinder replaced, in a matter of minutes.
This product is a great resource for supplying hand line and trailer-mounted monitor attacks on events involving running or falling fuels and pressure fires.
