Foam Lances & Surface Cleaners

2 products available

A pressure washer snow foam lance mixes detergent with water and air, then throws a thick layer of foam onto the surface. It lets the chemical dwell and loosen dirt before you rinse. Compel supplies foam lances and surface cleaners for trade and industrial users, such as vehicle valeting operations, fleet depots, workshops and contract cleaning crews.

Our range covers the foam lance (foam cannon) in a 1000ml bottle with a 1/4 inch quick connect, plus kits with an M22-14mm adapter and a set of fittings. Bodies are alloy, and brass jets are fitted with a spare in the box. Spray angle adjusts, so you can switch from a tight pencil stream to a wide fan. Each listing shows its pressure, flow and connection details, so you can check the fit against your machine before you order.

Match the foaming lance to your pressure washer's pressure and flow

Start with the limits on the listing. One lance in the range is rated to a maximum of 3600 PSI and 8 GPM. Another lists a maximum of 350 bar (5000psi). Check your machine's rated output against these figures and stay below them.

If the listing doesn't state a flow rating, don't guess. Check the datasheet or ask us before you buy.

  • Compare your washer's pressure with the lance's maximum pressure.
  • Compare your washer's flow with the lance's maximum flow where one is listed.
  • Treat the lance rating as a ceiling, not a target.

Choose the right connection for a foam nozzle on your pressure washer

Fit decides whether the lance works at all. The 1/4 inch quick connect version suits machines with a matching 1/4 inch quick-connect outlet. The kit with an M22-14mm adapter suits threaded outlets, and it ships with a multi-line fitting set to cover other common connections.

Check your gun or lance outlet first. If it's a brand-specific fitting, such as the Karcher-style spray nozzle connections buyers often search for, confirm the listing names a compatible adapter before ordering. Don't assume.

Bottle size, nozzle material and spray pattern

Both lances carry a 1000ml bottle (32oz), which suits a single vehicle or a short wash run before you refill. For long shifts, plan on refilling.

Jet material affects wear. The listed nozzles are copper (brass), including a fitted 1.2mm brass jet and a spare 1.1mm brass jet. Brass resists wear better than plastic, and the spare saves downtime if a jet clogs or wears. Bodies are alloy.

Spray pattern is adjustable. Listings describe a fan and cylinder pattern, adjustable vertically and horizontally, with angles from pencil 0 degrees to fan 60 degrees on one lance and 0 to 120 degrees on another. Use a narrow pattern for reach and a wide fan for panels.

Buying guide

Choosing Foam Lances & Surface Cleaners

How does a snow foam lance work?
The lance draws detergent from its bottle and mixes it with the water stream and air inside the body. The jet and mixing chamber turn that blend into thick foam at the outlet. The foam clings to the surface, so the detergent has time to loosen dirt before you rinse.
Will this foam nozzle for a pressure washer fit my machine?
It fits if your outlet matches the connection on the listing. One lance uses a 1/4 inch quick connect. The other comes with an M22-14mm adapter and a multi-line fitting set. If your machine uses a different brand-specific coupling, confirm a compatible adapter is listed first.
What pressure and flow can a pressure washer foam lance handle?
The ratings vary by model. One lance lists a maximum of 3600 PSI and 8 GPM. Another lists a maximum of 350 bar (5000psi). Keep your washer's output at or below the rating on the specific lance you choose.
Why does the nozzle material matter on a foaming lance for a pressure washer?
The jet takes the wear. The listed jets are copper (brass), with a 1.2mm brass jet fitted and a 1.1mm brass spare in the box. Brass holds its bore better than softer materials, which keeps the foam consistent over time.
How do I keep a pressure washer foam lance working properly?
Flush the lance with clean water after each use so detergent doesn't dry in the jet or the mixing chamber. If the foam turns thin or patchy, check for a clogged jet first. The spare brass jet in the kit lets you swap and carry on.
