Description
The Yato 340 mm foam gun is a high-quality tool for efficient, controlled application of polyurethane foams. This gun is designed especially for professional use in construction, installation and insulation work that calls for precision and durability. The gun is 340 mm long, which gives good reach and comfort on different jobs.
The gun’s metal body guarantees excellent durability and a long service life. The body is made of quality materials such as stainless steel, aluminium and brass, which are known for their corrosion resistance. The parts most exposed to dirt and the aggressive effect of foams are protected with a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, which stops foam from sticking and makes the gun easier to clean. The surface of the gun is also nickel-plated, which gives extra protection against corrosion.
The gun’s ergonomic handle made of plastic (PVC) gives a comfortable, firm grip, which reduces hand fatigue during long work and also improves precision. The mechanism of the gun allows precise control of the amount of foam, which is essential for neat and economical work.
This foam gun also comes with two extension tubes and two nozzles, which make the gun more versatile and let you apply foam in tighter, harder-to-reach places.
The Yato foam gun is designed to be easy to use and quick to fit to a foam can. Its durable construction, quality materials and included accessories make it a reliable tool for professionals who value long-lasting, efficient solutions.
Intended use:
- Construction work: Installing windows and doors, sealing gaps and openings, insulating walls and ceilings, sealing pipe penetrations. The extension tubes let you reach deeper and tighter gaps.
- Installation work: Fixing panels and boards, filling joints between structural elements, joining different building materials. The nozzles allow different application patterns.
- Insulation work: Fixing thermal insulation boards, filling cavities with insulating foam, improving sound insulation. The extension tubes make it easier to apply foam into cavities.
- Finishing work: Levelling uneven surfaces, fixing decorative elements. The nozzles can help control the shape of the foam.
- DIY projects: Sealing and filling different gaps at home, small-scale insulation work. The included accessories add flexibility.

Yato foam gun 340 mm instructions for use:
- Preparation: Make sure the polyurethane foam can is at room temperature (the recommended temperature is usually marked on the side of the can). Shake the can vigorously at least 20 times before use.
- Attaching the gun to the can: Remove the protective cap from the foam can. Screw the can firmly onto the adapter of the gun. Do not overtighten, so that the adapter is not damaged.
- Fitting an extension tube or nozzle (if needed): Attach the extension tube or nozzle of your choice to the tip of the gun. Make sure it is firmly in place.
- Dispensing foam: Open the adjusting screw at the back of the gun (usually clockwise opens and anticlockwise closes). Point the tip of the gun (or the end of the extension tube/nozzle) at the spot you want and press the trigger gently. Adjust the amount of foam with the trigger pressure and the adjusting screw.
- Working: Apply foam evenly into the gap or onto the surface. Do not fill gaps completely, as the foam expands as it cures. The extension tubes let you reach tight spots, and with the nozzles you can shape the foam application.
- Locking the gun: If you take a break from work, close the adjusting screw fully to stop foam from running out.
- Cleaning after use: Remove the foam can from the gun immediately after use. Use a polyurethane cleaner to clean the outside of the gun, the adapter and any extension tubes/nozzles. If the gun is intended for reuse, also clean the inside of the gun with the cleaner according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the gun is not intended for reuse, empty it as well as possible and dispose of it properly.
- Storage: Store the gun and its parts in a dry, cool place out of the reach of children.
How to choose the right foam gun:
Choosing the right foam gun depends on the intended use, the precision required and whether you need a disposable or reusable model. Consider the following factors:
- Intended use: For occasional home use, a disposable gun may be enough. For professional use, where foam is applied regularly on different jobs, choose a durable, reusable gun, possibly with accessories such as extension tubes and nozzles.
- Material and durability: Guns intended for professional use usually use quality materials such as a metal body (e.g. stainless steel, aluminium) and durable plastic parts. A metal body guarantees better durability in long-term use.
- Foam control: A good foam gun has a precise adjustment mechanism for dosing the amount of foam in a controlled way. This is important for neat and economical work.
- Ergonomics: For long use, it is important that the handle of the gun is ergonomically shaped and gives a good grip. A plastic handle can improve comfort and grip.
- Ease of cleaning: A reusable gun should be easy to clean so that it stays in working order for a long time. PTFE coatings make cleaning easier.
- Gun length: The length of the gun can affect reach in tight spots. Extension tubes may be needed for particularly awkward spots.
- Accessories: Extension tubes and nozzles make the gun more versatile and let you apply foam to different places and in different ways.
- Price: Disposable guns usually have a lower purchase price, but in the long run a quality reusable gun with accessories can be a more economical and versatile option.
