The Foam Expansion Tube Model 253-9 is designed to increase foam expansion and improve foam application efficiency when used with compatible master stream nozzles. Constructed from lightweight composite materials, this foam tube offers excellent corrosion resistance while remaining easy to handle and install in demanding firefighting environments.

The tube securely snaps onto the nozzle in seconds without requiring any modifications to the nozzle itself. Large air intake openings built into the base help maximize foam expansion, while nozzle pattern adjustments allow operators to vary expansion rates to suit specific firefighting needs. The Model 253-9 is ideal for industrial fire protection, petrochemical facilities, aviation operations, and other applications where effective foam delivery is critical.
