Can we make our own Foam Cannon?

[Brandon1]

I have the picture of the Foam Cannon that Justin used, and I cant help but notice how simple it is.



All we would need would be the Trigger for the pressure washer, the adjustable nozzle at the end, and the "sucker valve" in the middle. I know that we can get the trigger, quick connects, and the adjustable nozzle at the end. Where could we find that piece in the middle and what would it be called?


We can do it and for less than $100 like this one was.

Brandon, keep us updated on this. Don't know what you call the middle part. If you come up with something post it. If I miss it, PM me I want to know.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

It does look way too simple for $100. There must be a place somewhere online that sells these parts individually. My search starts now .

It looks like the middle part is some type of an injector.

[Brandon1]

Yeah, I can find the injector, but not with a bottle mount.

Justin is just reselling AB HD SERIES H/Duty Foam lence.
This is not a cheap thing to buy. In the UK you have to pay
for it £51.24 = $102.194 + S&H
If you want to know more about this foamer try to figure out
what AB stands for.

How about something like this and just getting a quick disconnect from your trigger handle?

[Brandon1]

Thats still about $50 + the quick connect.

the company selling them in England is called Auto Brite....thus AB....I do not know if they are the makers or resellers....they were offered here last year at a farm supply on line...same one....I lost the link as I bought the Cam Spray foamer...reason I did not get the AB one was the brass tube going into the soap container...I have snapped many brass fittings in my days...lol...

the can spray does the same thing....and very durable....right now they are 80.00 with free shipping....

the cam spray is the one shown in the video I linked to.....


now to make one you need a chemical injector...easy to find and will need to be modified....the hard part is the nozzle..its a special nozzle that injects air in the soap mixture and makes the foam....it has a special orfice that mixes the air and soap creating the foam....not any nozzle works....thats the one to find....

When I get time, I'm going to make one! I think I can, I hope. If not Budman can!!!!

There is an extrmely simple Foam Nozzle that Auto-Zone has been carrying lately that looks like it might be worth trying.

It's right there when you check out, and Ive almost bought it on 2 different occasions.

It looks like a normal hoze nozzle, but there is a seperate compartment for car wash concentrate. Looks like you hold a trigger down, and it mixes the soap with the stream of water somehow.

I'll see if I can do a search on google and find a pic. It was less than $5 I think...
