The kit includes an air aspirating foam nozzle, bail shut off and tee that connects to a 5-litre (1.3 gallon) container you can fill with Class A foam concentrates (sold separately). These applicators serve well in areas where there is a limited water supply.
When used correctly, foam can extend your water usage 10-fold. Operating at 40 PSI or greater pressure, this applicator sprays at a rate of eight gallons per minute. The foam mixes with the flowing water, creating what is known as “wetter water” - a mix that can seal off fire’s oxygen supply, rather than just evaporating.
Class A foam mixes are effective for fighting fires fueled by combustible materials like wood, these include wildfires and structural fires. Fires fueled by ignitable fluids require Class B foam. Class A foams can work their way into woodgrains, so they can be useful as a pre-treatment for homes at risk during wildfire season.
