The Draper Expanding Foam Applicator Gun (01020) is a professional-grade tool designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require precision, control, and efficiency when applying expanding foam for insulation or sealing tasks. Its robust zinc construction and non-stick coating make it a reliable choice for high-frequency use, though users should be prepared to perform regular cleaning to maintain the trigger mechanism's long-term performance.

The gun is compatible with most standard sizes of professional expanding foam canisters that use a screw-top connection.
It is highly recommended to clean the gun immediately after use to prevent foam from curing inside the barrel, which can render the tool unusable.
If the foam has fully cured, it is often difficult to remove. You may attempt to soak the barrel in a solvent, but it is best to prevent this by proper maintenance.
Yes, it is excellent for DIY projects requiring precise application, though the build quality is specifically rated for professional use.
No, foam cleaner must be purchased separately.
The nozzle tip may have hardened foam residue; soak the tip in foam cleaner or gently clear it with a non-metallic probe.
Clean the internal barrel assembly thoroughly with foam cleaner and ensure the flow control screw at the back is not fully tightened.
Ensure the canister is threaded correctly onto the adapter; if it persists, check the adapter seal for damage.
To set up the tool, shake the foam canister thoroughly, remove the protective cap, and screw the canister onto the gun's basket adapter until tight. Always keep the gun upright during this process. Before first use, pull the trigger to purge any air or residual cleaning fluid from the barrel. For care, it is essential to keep a canister of industrial foam cleaner nearby. Immediately after finishing a project, remove the foam canister and flush the gun by attaching the cleaner canister and firing until the output is clear. Never store the gun without cleaning it, as the curing foam will permanently clog the internal mechanism.
