ANSUL® proportioners are specifically designed to accurately
proportion and control the mixing of pressurized ANSUL foam
concentrates into a water stream with minimum pressure
loss. ANSUL proportioners are UL Listed and FM Approved The convergent inlet nozzle shall have a rounded inlet and a

Description
Each ANSUL proportioner consists of a body, inlet nozzle, and
metering orifice, all of which are corrosion-resistant brass. Ordering Information
