# SKUM MLR-40 A Low Expansion Foam Nozzle - Link: https://fasco.pk/product/skum-mlr-40-a-foam-nozzle/ - Published: 2026-10-28T07:27:11+00:00 - Author: Fasco Pakistan # SKUM MLR-40 A Foam Nozzle The **SKUM MLR-40 A Foam Nozzle** is a portable low-expansion foam branchpipe designed for firefighting applications involving flammable liquid spills and suitable small fires. Its hand-held design allows trained operators to direct foam towards the target area while balancing foam application and jet reach. The SKUM MLR-40 A is part of the SKUM MLR low-expansion foam branchpipe range. According to the manufacturer’s published datasheet, it has a stainless-steel body and brass nozzle. The standard documented configurations include a 200 L/min version operating at 5 bar and a 400 L/min version operating at 5 bar. Other flow and pressure combinations are also listed. This model is the standard, non-self-inducing version. It should not be confused with the MLR-40 SA, which includes a foam concentrate pick-up arrangement. The correct version depends on whether the firefighting system supplies premixed foam solution or requires the nozzle to draw concentrate. ## Key Features ### 1. Portable Hand-Held Design The MLR-40 A is designed for portable foam application. Its hand-held configuration supports directed discharge during compatible firefighting operations, including applications involving flammable liquid spills and suitable small fires. ### 2. Stainless-Steel Body The published product documentation specifies a stainless-steel pipe body. This construction is intended for professional firefighting equipment, although maintenance and inspection should follow the manufacturer’s instructions. ### 3. Brass Nozzle The documented MLR-40 A configuration uses a brass nozzle. Confirm the exact supplied model and construction details against the current product documentation. ### 4. Multiple Flow Configurations The MLR-40 A range includes different flow rates and pressure combinations, enabling selection according to the system design and available water supply. Published configurations include: * 200 L/min at 5 bar * 215 L/min at 3 bar * 215 L/min at 6 bar * 400 L/min at 3 bar * 400 L/min at 5 bar * 400 L/min at 6 bar The selected product code must be checked before these values are assigned to a specific item. ### 5. Low-Expansion Foam Production The manufacturer lists a foam expansion ratio of up to approximately 1:15 for the MLR-40 A and MLR-40 SA branchpipes. Actual performance depends on the foam concentrate, water supply, operating conditions, and equipment configuration. ### 6. Standard Connection The documented connection is a 1½-inch female BSP thread, with optional hose couplings available for different connection requirements. Verify the actual connection supplied before purchase. ## Technical Specifications * **Product Name:** SKUM MLR-40 A Foam Nozzle * **Manufacturer / Brand:** SKUM * **Model:** MLR-40 A * **Equipment Type:** Portable low-expansion foam branchpipe * **Flow Rate:** 200–400 L/min across documented configurations * **Standard Flow Options:** 200 L/min at 5 bar; 400 L/min at 5 bar * **Other Documented Configurations:** 215 L/min at 3 or 6 bar; 400 L/min at 3 or 6 bar * **Operating Pressure:** 3, 5, or 6 bar, depending on configuration * **Foam Expansion Ratio:** Up to approximately 1:15 * **Approximate Jet Range:** 21–28 m across the listed configurations * **Body Material:** Stainless steel * **Nozzle Material:** Brass * **Valve Material:** Nickel-plated brass, as listed for the MLR range * **Connection:** 1½-inch female BSP thread; verify supplied variant * **Approximate Weight:** 3.2 kg * **Self-Inducing Function:** No; this is the standard MLR-40 A version * **Country of Manufacture:** Confirm with supplier documentation * **Product Code:** Depends on selected flow and pressure configuration These specifications are based on SKUM’s published MLR-40 A datasheet.

The required flow rate must match the water supply and system design. ### Check Operating Pressure Confirm the pressure specified for the selected product code. Flow rate, jet reach, and reaction force vary with operating pressure. ### Verify the Connection Check the inlet thread or coupling standard before connecting the branchpipe to existing hoses and firefighting equipment. ### Check the Foam Supply Arrangement The MLR-40 A is the standard non-self-inducing version. Confirm that the firefighting system supplies foam solution using a compatible proportioning arrangement. If the application requires concentrate induction at the nozzle, enquire about the MLR- 40 SA instead. ### Confirm the Product Code Request the manufacturer’s product code and datasheet to ensure that the delivered model matches the required flow rate, operating pressure, and connection. ## Why Choose FASCO?
