3.0  GENERAL INFORMATION

TFT  MASTER  FOAM  nozzles  are  rugged  self-educting  foam  fi xed  orifi ce  fog  nozzles  made  from  heat  treated,  hard  anodized 
aluminum.
MASTER FOAM nozzles come in three ranges. Each range determine water fl ow with baffl  e options. The removable baffl  e allows for 
fl ushing debris. On most MASTER FOAM nozzles, changing the baffl  e changes the nozzle’s water fl ow rate.
A vacuum created by water velocity pulls foam concentrate into the nozzle. Foam concentrate enters the peripheral jet uniformly 
at discharge without causing turbulence. Mixing and aeration happen immediately resulting in superior stream quality and reach. 
MASTER FOAM nozzles use no clog prone small passageways.
MASTER FOAM Nozzles come with calibrated orifi ce plates to set the foam percentage. Orifi ce plates are easily inserted into the 
side foam port. A concentrate hose with camlock fi tting (military standard MS27019) connects to the foam port capturing the orifi ce 
plate.
Fog angle is user adjustable between 90° wide fog and straight stream. Higher fl ow (1000 GPM and higher) nozzles provide a set 
screw for locking in a fog angle.
