The Chemicalworkz Foam Lance Pro is a high-performance snow foam cannon engineered to make vehicle pre-washing faster, safer, and far more efficient. By generating a dense, clinging blanket of uniform foam, it loosens and lifts stubborn road grime, salt, and traffic film away from paintwork before you touch the car with a wash mitt. This essential pre-wash step significantly reduces the risk of inflicting swirl marks and micro-scratches during the main wash phase.
Key Features
- Dual-Adjustable Spray Head: Gives you complete control over your foam application. Fine-tune the foam thickness to suit your preferred dilution, adjust the spray angle seamlessly from a targeted stream to a wide fan, and rotate the nozzle pattern to cover large panels quickly.
- Weighted Suction Hose Design: Equipped with a weighted brass ball at the end of a flexible pickup tube. This intelligent suction setup ensures continuous chemical draw even when tilting or angling the lance across low sills and roofs.
- Stable 1-Litre Dual-Thread Bottle: Built with a wide, tip-resistant base that stays upright on uneven garage floors during filling. The top cap features a standard bottle thread as well as an integrated 28/410 thread, allowing you to screw certain standard detailing chemical bottles directly into the lance unit.

Interchangeable Orifice Nozzles Included: Supplied with two brass orifice nozzles so you can tailor foam performance directly to your machine's output:
- 1.25 mm Orifice (Pre-installed): Optimised for standard commercial and domestic pressure washers operating between 110 Bar and 160 Bar.
- 1.10 mm Orifice (Included in box): Specially suited for lower-pressure units operating between 90 Bar and 110 Bar to boost foam density without straining the machine. Example Kärcher K2 and most Parkside power washers.
- Universal Fitting: Features a standard 1/4" quick-release male connector, making it directly compatible with professional short-trigger guns and quick-connect lances.
⚠️ Note: If you require an adapter for your power washer, such as Kärcher, Parkside, Kranzle, Nilfisk, and more, you'll find them here.
Technical Information
- Minimum Pressure: 1,000 PSI (approx. 70 Bar)
- Minimum Flow Rate: 7.5 Litres per minute (LPM)
Application & Maintenance
After-Use Care: Once finished, empty any remaining foam solution from the bottle, refill it with clean water, and reconnect the lance. Run your pressure washer through the unit for 30 seconds until clear water sprays out. This simple step flushes out the internal stainless-steel mesh filter, preventing dried shampoo residue from clogging the system and maintaining peak foam performance for your next wash.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do I need an extra adapter to connect the Chemicalworkz Foam Lance Pro to my power washer?
A: The foam lance comes standard with a 1/4" quick-release male connector, which fits directly into short-trigger guns or quick-release lance extensions. If your machine uses a proprietary connection (such as Kärcher K-Series, Parkside, Kränzle, Nilfisk, or Lavor), you will need a dedicated adapter. You can check and purchase matching pressure washer adapters here to fit your machine seamlessly.
Q2: Which of the two included orifice nozzles should I use for my pressure washer?
A: Use the pre-installed 1.25 mm orifice if your pressure washer operates between 110 Bar and 160 Bar (typical for mid-to-high spec domestic or commercial washers). Swap to the included 1.10 mm orifice if you are using an entry-level or lower-pressure machine operating between 90 Bar and 110 Bar. The smaller orifice restricts water flow to build higher backpressure, allowing lower-powered units to generate thick, clinging foam.
Q3: How does the weighted suction hose and dual-thread cap work?
A: The flexible pickup tube features a heavy brass filter ball at the end, which uses gravity to drop into the lowest point of the solution regardless of how you hold or tilt the lance. The dual-thread cap features a standard bottle thread along with a 28/410 neck thread, allowing you to attach standard 500ml or 1-Litre detailing product bottles directly to the foam lance without transferring liquids first.
