Akron Brass 3465 Installation, Operating And Maintenance Instructions

STYLE 3465 BUMPER TURRET
12/24 VOLT DC
INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
INTENDED USE
The bumper turret is designed to operate mounted on a vehicle with a 12 VDC or 24 VDC electrical system (must
specify). The vehicle system must be capable of providing 85-120 psi air pressure to operate the vertical and pattern control movement of the turret.
Operation of the turret is generally controlled from a remote location (inside the cab) with a joystick control box.
The following instructions are provided to assist in obtaining the best possible performance from the unit. Read and
understand the instructions before proceeding.
PRODUCT RATINGS
Mass: Turret - 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) Control Box - 10 lbs. (4.5 Kg)
Max. Flow: 500 gpm (1900 lpm)
Max Pressure: 250 psi (1724 kPa - 17.2 bar)
Pipe Connection: 2" victaulic
INSTALLATION
The Turret is intended to be installed on a support capable of
withstanding a reaction force of up to 400 pounds at the nozzle,
depending on flow rate. The use of 5/16" diameter screws and locking
nuts are recommended to attach the Turret Mounting Plate. Six holes
are provided in the 1/4" thick Mounting Plate for attachment to the
support.

The outline drawing (Figure 1) identifies a typical mounting plate for attached junction box. Other configurations are
available.
The Turret water inlet mates with a standard 2" Victaulic coupling. A 1/8" NPT opening with plug is located at the base of the Turret near the inlet. This
opening is provided to attach a temporary gauge to determine the Turret inlet pressure, if required, or to install a line to read turret pressure in the cab.
(Provisions should be made to install a drain into water
supply line for freeze protection of turret.)
A single air inlet port is located on the side of the Turret Junction Box. The Junction Box is located under the Turret Mounting Plate. A 1/4" NPT male
connector is required on the air supply line to the Turret. NOTE: A Dry Air supply
between 85 and 120 PSI is required.
An air exhaust port is located on the bottom of the Turret Junction Box. The exhaust port includes an air fitting which mates with 1/4" O.D. nylon tubing.
A 1/4" O.D. nylon hose is to be attached to the fitting and routed from this exhaust port to a location where water cannot enter the hose. This minimizes
the potential for ice to plug the exhaust port.
Caution should be taken not to kink the exhaust hose. The exhaust hose is not provided with the Turret.
