    4.2.5 USE OF FOAMJET LX To increase the expansion ratio, Task Force Tips’ “Foamjet LX” (model FJ-LX-M) may be used on nozzles rated to 750 gpm. This low expansion foam tube attaches and removes quickly from the nozzle. Note: As expansion ratio is increased the reach of the nozzle will be decreased due to the greater amount of bubbles in the stream and their inability to penetrate the air.
