NAF Nozzles – Homemade

Since making FOAM is not rocket science, neither is making FOAM nozzles.
A few tips to remember:

  • It is helpful to have a shut off at the nozzle
  • The larger the diameter, the higher the expansion
  • Insure that there is a venturi to pull in the air
  • Insure that you have some means of agitation. 

 

Here is an article produced by the BLM on how to make a Mid-X nozzle. It covers all the basics. Note that the final paragraph encourages experimenting – “Play With It & See!!!”
