Benefits

This specialized foam pourer dramatically reduces the risk of catastrophic tank fires by targeting the highly vulnerable rim seal area. The gentle discharge mechanism prevents the foam blanket from being submerged or broken, ensuring rapid fire suppression and vapor suppression. Its robust construction materials and epoxy coating provide long-lasting durability, minimizing maintenance costs and replacement frequency. Furthermore, its compliance with strict UL and FM safety standards guarantees that you are installing a proven, trustworthy solution for your facility.

Usage / How to Use

The Rim Seal Foam Pourer is primarily installed on the top of open-top floating roof storage tanks typically found in oil refineries, chemical plants, and fuel storage terminals. It is mounted vertically to direct the expanded foam precisely into the narrow gap between the tank shell and the floating roof. During a fire emergency, the connected foam system pumps the solution through the pourer, which aerates the mixture and allows it to slide gently down the tank wall to rapidly seal the hazard area.

Why Choose This Product

When it comes to industrial fire protection, reliability is not optional. This foam pourer is rigorously tested and globally certified by UL and FM, providing absolute peace of mind. The choice of carbon or stainless steel combined with epoxy painting ensures it can withstand harsh industrial environments and extreme weather without degrading. By choosing the RPA or RPA-S models, you are investing in top-tier safety equipment that effectively protects your assets, your personnel, and your operations.
