The Williams Fire & Hazard Control Water Powered Oscillating Mechanism transforms an existing manual station Monitor into an oscillator. The Water Powered Mechanism is designed to be placed between a flanged/valved outlet and an existing or new owner supplied single waterway Monitor. The Monitor will then automatically discharge over a specific area upon system operation. Upgrading foam or water Monitor coverage in any area is now as easy as unbolting the existing monitor and inserting the conversion kit between the flanges.
A water drive wheel driving a double reduction gearbox drives the oscillating mechanism. To operate the water drive wheel, a small quantity of water-foam solution is diverted from the mechanism inlet. The Williams Fire & Hazard Control Water Powered Oscillating Mechanism requires no external wiring or hydraulic control for operation. The water drive wheel design is unique in that the flow of water foam solution does not require a filtering process.
This makes the oscillating mechanism more reliable and less likely to fail. Each unit is suitable for use with any monitor adapted to fit a 4” flange. Each Monitor can then be fitted with either an air-aspirating foam nozzle or a non air-aspirating type.
