The forede® FIXED MANUAL MONITOR SERIES GEARED MONITOR offers a range of models to suit different needs. With flow rates ranging from 1200 LPM to 2400 LPM, users can select the model that best fits their requirements. The monitors are designed to operate at a working pressure of 8 Bar, providing a maximum reach of up to 65 meters at this pressure.
The monitors feature a maximum fog angle of 120°, allowing for effective dispersal of water over a wide area. With a range of motion from -90° to +90° vertically and 360° rotation, users have the flexibility to direct the flow of water where it is needed most.
The waterway size of 2.5" (65mm) ensures efficient flow, while the monitor outlet features a 2.5" (65mm) NH male thread for easy connection to hoses or other equipment. The monitor inlet is a flange 3" BS4504 as standard, with other sizes and standards available upon request.
Features:
- Aluminium alloy construction, hard coated anodized;
- Constant fire nozzle and selectable fire nozzle to choose;
- Jetting pattern is straight stream or fog to choose;
- Flange standard is varies and can customized.

Installation Instructions
1. Geared Handwheel Functions
Q: What do the two geared handwheels on this monitor control?
A: The dual handwheels handle separate tasks: one adjusts the 360° horizontal rotation and -90° to +90° vertical angle (for aiming), while the other toggles between straight stream/fog patterns and (for selectable models) adjusts flow rate. The geared design keeps operation smooth, even for high-flow setups.
2. Selectable Flow Rate Operation (PS8/20-40W-B)
Q: How do I switch between 1200/1800/2400 LPM flow rates on the PS8/20-40W-B model?
A: A manual flow selector (on the monitor body) lets you toggle between the three preset rates. Just turn the selector to your desired flow-no tools are needed, so you can adapt to small/large fires quickly.
3. Straight Stream vs. 120° Fog Pattern Use Cases
Q: When should I use the straight stream vs. the 120° fog pattern?
A: Use
straight stream for targeted, long-distance suppression (e.g., large, concentrated blazes). Use the
120° fog pattern for wide-area cooling (to stop fire spread to equipment/structures) or suppressing small, scattered fires.
4. Choosing the Right Model (20/30/40W-B)
Q: How do I pick between PS8/20W-B, PS8/30W-B, and PS8/40W-B?
A: Match the model to your coverage needs:
- PS8/20W-B (1200 LPM, 50m reach): Small spaces (e.g., small storage yards)
- PS8/30W-B (1800 LPM, 60m reach): Medium zones (e.g., warehouse bays)
- PS8/40W-B (2400 LPM, 65m reach): Large industrial areas (e.g., factory perimeters)
5. -90° to +90° Vertical & 360° Horizontal Range Benefits
Q: What's the advantage of the -90° to +90° vertical range and 360° rotation?
A: 360° rotation covers the entire surrounding area from one fixed mount. The -90° (full downward) to +90° (full upward) vertical range lets you target ground fires, elevated tanks, or upper-structure blazes-versatile for wall, tank, or ground installations.
6. Flange Standard Matching to Existing Pipes
Q: How do I choose the right flange standard (BS4504/ANSI150/GB) for my pipes?
A: Select the flange standard that matches your site's existing pipe system (e.g., ANSI150 for ANSI-compliant pipes). This ensures a tight, leak-proof connection without extra adapters.
7. Hard Coated Anodized Aluminum Durability
Q: How well does the hard coated aluminum hold up in harsh outdoor/industrial environments?
A: The coating resists scratches, minor impacts, and weathering (rain, dust). It's built for long-term use in tough settings-just wipe the surface with a damp cloth periodically to maintain performance.
8. 120° Max Fog Angle Benefit
Q: Why is the fog angle 120°, and how does that help with fire suppression?
A: A 120° fog angle covers a wide area with one adjustment, making it ideal for cooling large sections of equipment/structures (to prevent fire spread) or suppressing scattered, low-intensity blazes. It maximizes coverage with minimal repositioning.
9. Geared Handwheel Operation Effort
Q: Are the geared handwheels hard to turn, especially for the 2400 LPM model?
A: No-the geared design reduces operation effort, so even the high-flow 2400 LPM model's handwheels turn smoothly. Most users can adjust them easily, even during emergency responses.
10. Routine Maintenance for Geared Components
Q: What routine checks does this monitor need?
A: Every 3-6 months: lubricate the geared handwheel components (use a light, non-corrosive lubricant), inspect the inlet flange gasket for wear (replace if cracked), and clear debris from the nozzle to ensure unobstructed water/fog flow.
