The Foam Expansion Tube Model 252-8 is designed to enhance foam expansion and improve foam application performance when used with compatible master stream nozzles. Constructed from lightweight composite materials, this foam tube offers excellent corrosion resistance while remaining easy to handle, install, and operate in demanding firefighting environments.
The tube securely snaps onto the nozzle in seconds without requiring modifications to the nozzle itself. Large air intake openings integrated into the base promote efficient foam expansion, while nozzle pattern adjustments allow operators to vary expansion rates based on operational requirements. The Model 252-8 is ideal for industrial fire protection, aviation firefighting, petrochemical facilities, and other applications where effective foam generation is essential.
