The FoamPro Turbo Stream Hypro Triplex Plunger Pump provides dependability and ultra-high pressure performance. Ideal for use with all Class A foam concentrates, the dual action spray gun delivers foam solution over 45 feet.

The FIRELITE FTUHP-400 series wildland firefighting skid's Foam Pro Turbo Stream UHP system includes a choice of a 125, 160 or 200 gallon poly water tank with integrated five gallon foam cell, Hannay 1500 series ultra-high pressure electric hose reel with 100 feet of ½” high pressure rated hose with dual action spray gun, and a thermal relief valve to prevent overheating during extended idle.
