The main driver has been the phase-out of PFAS-containing foam concentrates in favor of more environmentally responsible alternatives: Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foams (SFFF). To support this transition, Viking has designed the AX1 Foam Nozzle designed specifically to work with new generation Synthetic Fluorine Free Foams, while delivering the same level of performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:24px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">Environmental concerns and stricter regulations have led the firefighting industry to reduce PFAS-based foam concentrates. This has driven strong demand for foam concentrates formulated without intentionally added PFAS, known as SFFF. While offering clear environmental benefits, SFFF also introduces new challenges for manufacturers and designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-font-size\">With this in mind, Viking has designed and developed a new discharge device: the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.viking-emea.com\/fr\/product\/ax1\/\"> <strong>AX1 Aspirated Foam Water Sprinkler Nozzle<\/strong><\/a>. The AX1 Aspirated foam nozzle delivers more effective foam blanket than standard non-aspirated sprinklers. It has been specifically designed to work with new generation of SFFF foams and to cover multiple fuel types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viking-emea.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Smallest-approved-nozzle-on-the-market.png\" alt=\"Viking AX1 foam nozzle, the smallest approved nozzle on the market for your transition to SFFF\" class=\"wp-image-234810 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viking-emea.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Smallest-approved-nozzle-on-the-market.png 750w, https:\/\/www.viking-emea.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Smallest-approved-nozzle-on-the-market-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/www.viking-emea.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Smallest-approved-nozzle-on-the-market-600x583.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-base-font-size\">The AX1 represents a significant step in both SFFF performance and installation efficiency. It is available in pendent and upright versions. The AX1 is currently the smallest UL-listed foam water sprinkler nozzle on the market, up to 17% shorter than comparable models, while delivering the same level of performance. Its compact size is particularly valuable in environments with limited installation space, such as diesel generator rooms, marine vessels, offshore platforms, and fuel loading racks. It is also well suited for other applications such as petrochemical plants and aircraft hangars, as its reduced size makes it less exposed to accidental damage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-font-size\">Despite its reduced size, the AX1 provides wide coverage across multiple SFFF concentrates and a broad range of ignitable fuel types, supported by an extensive UL Listing range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-20)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.viking-emea.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/L1.3.4.27_04022026_Rev26.1_AX1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download One-pager<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.viking-emea.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PS01030427_30012026_Rev.26.1_en_AX1_Foam_Water_Spk_Nozzles.pdf\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--0-24);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--0-24)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download Product Sheet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-primary-background-color has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-302c9669 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--0-24);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--0-24)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2c69389a9c9cb1bf015d6933ae5bc3ee\">Contact us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-100-color has-text-color has-link-color has-base-font-size wp-elements-a5f177c554fae8c13145e192d1a8bfd9\">Do you have a question about our AX1 foam nozzle?
