making devices. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel and/or damage
to equipment.

agent, improper proportioning, and poor performance in a fire situation. Mixing of
Class A and/or Class B and different types of foam agents may result in a chemical
reaction which can create globules, which can clog orifices and cause system
