6.0 USE WITH FOAM
The nozzle may be used with foam solutions. Refer to fire service training by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for the proper use
of foam.
6.0.1 FOAMJET LX WITH MASTERSTREAM 1000 AND 1250S NOZZLE
To increase the expansion ratio, Task Force Tips “Foamjet LX” (model FJ-LX-M) may be used with the Masterstream 1000 and 1250s
nozzles. This low expansion foam tube attaches and detaches quickly from the nozzle. Adjust nozzle spray pattern to give best foam
quality. Note: As expansion ratio is increased, the reach of the nozzle will be decreased due to the greater amount of bubbles in the
stream and their inability to penetrate the air. The 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.
Figure 6.0.1
WARNING
For Class B fires, 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 specific 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 fire service training as directed by the
AHJ.
