Instructions for P/N 00073100 Drum Pick-Up Kit
The drum pickup kit allows the foam inlet of the nozzle to be pre-connected to
a 55 gallon drum of concentrate. The kit includes:
• 1 – vacuum breaker
• 1 – 8 ft spiral reinforced pick-up hose assembly
• 1 – PVC pick-up tube and ¼ turn valve assembly.
Installation
1) Place the 55 gallon drum of concentrate close enough to the nozzle so that the 8 ft pickup
hose can reach from the foam inlet on the nozzle to the large bung hole on the barrel and still
allow the nozzle to move through out its intended range of motion.
2) Remove plug from small bung hole in barrel and install vacuum breaker.
3) Remove plug from large bung hole in barrel. Install PVC pick-up tube and valve assembly by
putting long PVC tube down into barrel until the male threads can be threaded into the female
threads in the barrel. Make sure not to cross thread the PVC pick-up tube and valve assembly
while threading it into the barrel hand tight.
4) Attach the hex swivel connection on one end of the pick-up hose assembly to the PVC pick-up
tube and valve assembly and one end to the foam inlet on the nozzle and tighten snuggly with
a wrench. (Connections are identical on both ends of the hose assembly.)
Operation
Turning the red t-handle on the foam valve counterclockwise opens the valve. In the open
position, the handle will be aligned with the centerline of the PVC pick-up tube and valve
assembly. Turning the red t-handle on the foam valve clockwise closes the valve. In the closed
position. the handle will be perpendicular to the centerline of the PVC pick-up tube and valve
assembly. The position of the handle lets the operator know at a glance whether the foam valve is
open or closed.
