VIPER™ Bypass Foam Eductors with Metering Dial – Rigid Base

Features

• Selectable Foam Percentage Dial: Each model includes a C&S Metering Dial that allows the operator to select foam percentages of 0.5%, 1%, 3%, or 6% with a turn of the dial.
• Bypass Eductor Design: The integrated bypass switch allows the eductor to remain inline when foam is not desired, without removing the device from the hose line.
• Rigid Base Configuration: Each eductor is supplied with a rigid base configuration intended for inline hose deployment.
• Extended Pickup Hose: Each model includes a 48-inch clear pickup hose, described as reducing the need for stooping during foam operations.
• Multiple Flow Rate Options: This product family is available in 30 GPM, 60 GPM, 95 GPM, and 125 GPM models to match different operational flow requirements.

What is it?

These products are foam eductors in the VIPER Bypass Eductor family that draw foam concentrate into a water stream using a metering dial to select the desired foam percentage. The “bypass” feature allows the eductor to remain installed inline while turning foam on or off as needed.

How is it used?

The eductor is connected inline with the hose lay and paired with the pickup hose placed into a foam concentrate container. The operator selects the desired foam percentage using the metering dial and uses the bypass switch when foam is not desired, while keeping the eductor inline.

Who uses it?

These foam eductors are used by first responders, including firefighters and fire departments, who need a straightforward method for inducting foam concentrate during fire suppression operations.

What is it used with?

These eductors are used with fire hose lines, foam concentrate, and a foam pickup source (such as a foam container) in operations where foam solution is required.

What’s Included?

48-inch clear pickup hose: Included with each model.

Why Choose a Bypass Eductor with a Metering Dial?

A bypass foam eductor allows operators to keep the device inline while controlling when foam is introduced into the water stream. The metering dial provides multiple foam percentage options without changing disks or components, allowing a single eductor to support different foam application needs.

Operational Flexibility in the Field

This foam eductor family is designed for operations where foam may be needed intermittently. The bypass feature supports rapid transitions between water-only and foam operations while maintaining the hose layout, making it suitable for engine companies, brush trucks, and foam-capable hose lines.

Choosing the Right Flow Model

The appropriate model should be selected based on the expected flow rate of the hose and nozzle configuration in use. Available options include 30 GPM, 60 GPM, 95 GPM, and 125 GPM models. Matching the eductor flow rating to the operational flow rate helps support proper foam induction.
