Benefits
Rapid Foam Deployment
The self-educting design allows foam concentrate to be drawn directly through the pickup tube, eliminating the need for a separate proportioning device and simplifying deployment.
Adjustable Flow Rates
Selectable flow settings allow firefighters to optimise foam application based on incident size, water supply and operational requirements.
Durable Brass Construction
Built from corrosion-resistant brass for long service life in demanding industrial and emergency response environments.
Flexible Stream Patterns
Quickly transition from a straight stream for maximum reach to a wide fog pattern for exposure protection and vapour suppression.
Increased Foam Expansion
When paired with the optional Style 737 Foam Tube, operators can achieve increased foam aspiration and improved foam blanket quality

FAQ
No. The nozzle is designed as a self-educting system and draws foam concen
Yes. The AkroFoam 4470 is compatible with fluorine-free foam concentrates, including VS Focum’s Newtonian fluorine-free range, which Fire Response supplies as exclusive Australian distributor. VS Focum’s low-viscosity formulations are designed to avoid the gelification, peel formation and pipe jams associated with some fluorine-free foams. Contact Fire Response to match a concentrate to your nozzle flow setting and proportioning rate.
Yes. The AkroFoam 4470 ships set at 1900 L/min (500 GPM), and crews can change it in the field to 1325, 2800 or 3800 L/min.
