Product Technical Overview

Rosenbauer TOTAL S4 Foam Making Branch Pipe, 400 LPM

The Rosenbauer TOTAL S4 Foam Making Branch Pipe is designed for firefighting systems that require the application of heavy firefighting foam at a nominal flow rate of 400 litres per minute. Operating at a catalogue-listed pressure of 5 bar, this branch pipe helps deliver a foam solution through a nozzle assembly designed to draw in air and form a cohesive foam stream.

Heavy foam-making branch pipes are important components in firefighting operations where foam is required to cover suitable burning surfaces and help control fires involving flammable liquids and other combustible materials. When used with the appropriate foam concentrate, proportioning equipment and water supply, the Rosenbauer S4 can form part of a properly designed foam firefighting system.

The S4 designation identifies the 400 LPM heavy foam branch pipe configuration in the available Rosenbauer catalogue. The listed construction includes a stainless-steel pipe, a plastic protective ring and an integrated ball-valve shut-off. Different connection variants are listed, so buyers should confirm the required coupling before purchasing.

Applications of the Rosenbauer TOTAL S4 Foam Making Branch Pipe

Industrial Fire Protection

Industrial facilities may use foam firefighting systems to address specific fire hazards involving flammable liquids or other materials for which foam is suitable. The S4 may be considered where its rated flow, operating pressure and foam output match the system design.

Fuel Storage and Flammable-Liquid Hazards

Foam is commonly used in suitable flammable-liquid firefighting applications because it can form a covering layer over the fuel surface. The appropriate foam concentrate and application method must be selected for the specific fuel and hazard.

Commercial and Warehouse Facilities

Some commercial and warehouse environments require dedicated foam equipment as part of their fire protection arrangements. The correct branch pipe should be selected according to the fire risk assessment, available water supply and installed hose connections.

Fire and Rescue Services

Fire and rescue teams may use heavy foam-making branch pipes as part of compatible mobile firefighting equipment. Before deployment, operators should verify the required pressure, flow rate, connection type and foam concentrate compatibility.

Emergency Foam Equipment Systems

The S4 may be included in a wider firefighting equipment inventory where a 400 LPM heavy foam branch pipe is appropriate. It should always be used according to the manufacturer's instructions and the site's approved firefighting procedures.

How to Choose the Correct Foam Making Branch Pipe

Before ordering the Rosenbauer TOTAL S4 Foam Making Branch Pipe, consider the following factors.

1. Flow rate requirements

Confirm that the firefighting system is designed for a nominal flow rate of 400 LPM. The pump and water supply must be capable of delivering the required flow at the appropriate pressure.

2. Operating pressure

The available catalogue lists 5 bar for this model. Verify the pressure at the branch pipe under actual operating conditions rather than relying only on the pump's rated pressure.

3. Hose coupling compatibility

Check whether your existing equipment requires Storz C, BS threaded or NH threaded connections. Confirm the exact coupling specification before placing your order.

4. Foam concentrate compatibility

Not all foam concentrates are interchangeable. Select a concentrate appropriate for the target fire hazard and verify its compatibility with the complete foam delivery system. Follow the concentrate manufacturer's recommended proportioning rate.

5. Exact model and documentation

Request the product datasheet and model or order number to confirm the technical specifications, connection type and operating requirements of the supplied unit.
