The document provides specifications for ANSUL proportioners that are designed to accurately mix foam concentrates into a water stream. The proportioners come in 3, 4, 6, and 8 inch sizes to fit between pipe flanges. They consist of a brass body, inlet nozzle, and metering orifice. The body is marked with flow direction and concentrate compatibility. Dimensions and flow ranges are provided for selecting the proper proportioner.
