Falcon Gold FG4001RF Foam and Water Fire Hose Cabinet

The Falcon Gold FG4001RF foam and water fire hose cabinet is an integrated firefighting unit combining a low-expansion foam system and a water fire hose system inside one cabinet.

The system is designed for single-person operation and provides protection against Class A and Class B fires, making it suitable for locations containing ordinary combustibles and flammable liquids.

Model:

• FG4001RF.

System Type:

• Foam and Water Fire Hose Cabinet.
• Low-Expansion Foam System.
• Fire Hose Reel System.
• Surface-Mounted Cabinet.

Operating Principle:

Fire-system water enters the cabinet and passes through the foam inductor, which draws foam concentrate from the storage containers and introduces it into the water stream at the required proportion.

The finished foam solution flows through the fire hose to the foam branch pipe, which generates and directs the foam toward the fire.

Depending on the approved configuration, the system may also be operated as a water-jet arrangement.

Main Components:

• Fire cabinet.
• Fire hose reel.
• Rack and reel fire hose.
• Foam inductor.
• Foam branch pipe.
• Foam-concentrate containers.
• Angle valve.
• Water-inlet pipe.
• Foam-suction tube.
• Flexible suction hose.
• Hose connections.
• Control valves.

Foam Proportioning System:

The cabinet includes a foam inductor or proportioner that introduces foam concentrate into the water flow.

The catalogue describes:

• Foam-concentrate suction arrangement.
• Proportioning of concentrate into the passing water.
• Bypass-system option.
• Multiple equipment sizes according to system configuration.

Foam Concentrate:

The basic configuration shown includes:

• Two foam-concentrate containers.
• 20-liter capacity per container in the primary shown arrangement.
• AFFF 3% foam concentrate.
• Other foam-concentrate types available on request.

Another catalogue section also shows an optional arrangement with two 25-liter containers, so the final container capacity must be confirmed during procurement.

Fire Hose:

The main shown configuration includes:

• 1.5-inch hose diameter.
• 30-meter hose length.
• Synthetic outer jacket.
• Rubber or TPU internal lining, depending on the selected arrangement.
• Mounted on a swinging reel or hose support.
• Intended for internal firefighting applications.

Foam Branch Pipe:

The foam branch pipe includes a flow-control valve and is designed to direct foam toward the protected hazard.

Shown characteristics include:

• Aluminum body.
• Hard-rubber handle grip.
• Shut-off control valve.
• Approximate foam-throw range of 15 to 20 meters, depending on line pressure.
• Can also be used as a water jet pipe according to configuration.

Available System Sizes:

1.5-Inch Configuration:

• Foam system: 1.5 inch.
• Fire hose reel: 1.5 inch × 30 m.
• Approximate cabinet dimensions: 700 × 1120 × 300 mm.

2.5-Inch Configuration:

• Foam system: 2.5 inch.
• Fire hose reel: 2.5 inch × 30 m.
• Approximate cabinet dimensions: 800 × 1300 × 350 mm.

FG4001RF Drawing Configuration:

• Approximate width: 700 mm.
• Approximate height: 1120 mm.
• Approximate depth: 300 mm.
• Surface-mounted installation.

Materials:

• Cold-rolled steel or electro-galvanized steel cabinet, depending on configuration.
• 1.2 mm sheet thickness in the shown arrangement.
• Stainless steel available as an option.
• Folded edges to reduce sharp surfaces.
• Sloped roof design in selected configurations.
• Red powder-coated finish.

Manufacturing and Finish:

The catalogue states that Falcon Gold cabinets are:

• Fabricated using metal inert gas welding.
• Pretreated with zinc phosphate for corrosion resistance.
• Electrostatically coated with red polyester-resin paint.

Compatible Foam Concentrates:

The system may be configured for:

• AFFF 3%.
• AR-AFFF 3×3%.
• FP foam.
• Other concentrate types according to hazard and design requirements.

Available Connections:

• BS 336.
• Storz.
• NH.
• Other connection types according to project requirements.

Key Features:

• Integrated foam and water system.
• Suitable for Class A and Class B fires.
• Designed for single-person operation.
• Low-expansion foam system.
• Foam inductor included.
• Foam branch pipe included.
• 30-meter fire hose.
• Foam-concentrate containers.
• Available in 1.5-inch and 2.5-inch configurations.
• Surface-mounted cabinet.
• Corrosion-resistant construction.
• Red powder-coated finish.
• Mild-steel and stainless-steel options.
• Clear operating instructions.
• Multiple foam and connection options.

Applications:

• Fuel stations.
• Petrochemical facilities.
• Refineries.
• Industrial plants.
• Warehouses.
• Fuel loading and unloading areas.
• Power stations.
• Flammable-liquid storage facilities.
• Workshops.
• Locations requiring combined foam and water protection.

Operating Procedure:

1. Open the cabinet.
2. Verify that all valves are in the correct operating position.
3. Pull the hose toward the fire.
4. Open the water valve gradually.
5. Operate the foam-proportioning arrangement.
6. Confirm that concentrate is being drawn from the container.
7. Direct the foam branch pipe toward the fire.
8. Apply foam gently to form a stable foam blanket.
9. Close all valves after use.
10. Drain, clean and restore the system.

Required Procurement Information:

• FG4001RF model.
• 1.5-inch or 2.5-inch system.
• Required cabinet dimensions.
• Cabinet material.
• Mild steel or stainless steel.
• Foam-concentrate type.
• Concentrate proportion.
• Number and capacity of foam containers.
• Coupling type.
• Hose type and length.
• Available water pressure and flow.
• Required approval.
• Consultant and authority requirements.
• Quantity.

Installation Notes:

• Install the cabinet on a wall suitable for its full operating weight.
• Confirm that network pressure is compatible with the inductor.
• Connect the water supply according to approved drawings.
• Check all water and foam lines for leakage.
• Position the foam containers correctly.
• Confirm that the suction line is secure and unobstructed.
• Conduct a full proportioning and operational test.
• Provide adequate clearance for doors and hose deployment.
• Protect cabinet and components from impact.
• Installation and commissioning must be completed by qualified personnel.

Maintenance:

• Inspect the cabinet and coating.
• Inspect the hose and reel.
• Inspect the foam inductor.
• Inspect the foam branch pipe.
• Check suction tubes and connections.
• Confirm that piping is not blocked.
• Inspect water and concentrate valves.
• Verify foam-concentrate quantity and condition.
• Check concentrate expiration and quality.
• Test the proportioning ratio periodically.
• Flush and clean the system after operation.
• Refill concentrate containers after use.
• Maintain the system according to manufacturer and project requirements.

Important Note:

The FG4001RF is a standalone product because it combines a foam-extinguishing system and a water-hose system inside one cabinet.

The catalogue shows multiple configurations for system size, concentrate containers and foam type. Confirm the final configuration through the approved manufacturer’s submittal before procurement.

Foam type and proportioning ratio must be selected according to the hazard, fuel type, hydraulic calculations and authority requirements.
