6.0 USE WITH FOAM
The nozzle may be used with foam solutions. Refer to re service training for the proper use of foam.
WARNING
For Class B res, lack of foam or interruption in the foam stream can cause a break in the foam
blanket and greatly increase the risk of injury or death. Follow procedures established by the AHJ
for the specic fuel and conditions.
WARNING
Improper use of foam or using the wrong type of foam can result in illness, injury, or damage to
the environment. Follow foam manufacturer’s instructions and re service training as directed by
the AHJ.
6.1 FOAM ASPIRATING ATTACHMENTS
Multi-expansion or low expansion aspirating attachments may be used with nozzles to increase the expansion ratio. These foam
tubes attach and detach quickly from the nozzle. As expansion ratio is increased, the reach of the nozzle will decrease due to the
greater amount of bubbles in the stream and their ability to penetrate the air. Generally, the straight stream reach with foam is
approximately 10% less than with water only. Actual results will vary based on brand of foam, hardness of water, temperature, etc.
For specic information, see LIA-025 (MANUAL: Foam Attachments for TFT Nozzles).
