FB5X with Pickup Tube – High-Efficiency Foam Induction Nozzle System | LIFEGUARD
LIFEGUARD FB5X with Pickup Tube
The LIFEGUARD FB5X with Pickup Tube is a high-performance foam induction fire fighting nozzle system designed for efficient generation and application of fire suppression foam. Engineered for industrial-grade fire protection, this system automatically draws foam concentrate through the pickup tube and mixes it with water to produce a consistent, high-expansion foam solution for rapid fire control.
Built for demanding firefighting environments, the FB5X system ensures accurate foam proportioning, stable discharge, and reliable performance in high-risk fire scenarios. It is widely used in oil & gas facilities, petrochemical plants, fuel storage terminals, airports, and industrial firefighting systems where flammable liquid fire hazards are present.
The integrated pickup tube allows direct suction of foam concentrate from containers, ensuring continuous operation and reducing manual intervention during emergency response.
Key Features
High-efficiency foam induction system (FB5X model) for fire suppression.
Integrated pickup tube for direct foam concentrate suction.
Consistent foam proportioning for effective fire control.
Heavy-duty corrosion-resistant construction for industrial use.
Compatible with standard fire hose and hydrant systems.
Stable discharge performance under high-pressure conditions.
Designed for flammable liquid (Class B) fire protection.
Quick response system for emergency firefighting operations.
Low maintenance and long operational life.
Suitable for portable and fixed fire protection setups.
Product Overview
The LIFEGUARD FB5X with Pickup Tube is designed to deliver reliable foam-based fire suppression by mixing foam concentrate with water in a precise ratio. The pickup tube draws foam concentrate directly from an external container, eliminating the need for pre-mixed solutions and enabling continuous firefighting operations.
As water flows through the FB5X nozzle, a pressure differential is created that automatically induces foam concentrate into the system. The mixture is then discharged as a uniform foam stream that rapidly spreads over flammable liquid surfaces, forming a stable blanket that suppresses vapors, cools the fire, and prevents re-ignition.
This system is especially effective in environments where hydrocarbon fuels and volatile liquids pose significant fire risks.

How the FB5X Foam System Works
The LIFEGUARD FB5X system operates using a simple yet highly effective foam induction principle.
Working Process
Water flows into the FB5X nozzle under pressure.
A pressure differential is created inside the nozzle body.
The pickup tube draws foam concentrate from an external container.
Foam concentrate mixes with water in a controlled ratio.
The mixture is aerated and discharged as expanded foam.
Foam spreads over flammable liquid surfaces, forming a sealing blanket.
The foam suppresses vapors, cools the fire, and prevents re-ignition.
