Aluminum Blue 1 1/2" twist nozzle rotates seamlessly from off to straight stream to fog pattern. Bale shut-off valve allows user to maintain a consistent nozzle pattern while turning water flow on and off. Polymer pistol grip can be easily removed with an Allen wrench and polymer ball and seat allow for reduced friction when operating bale under pressure.
National Hose (NH) aka National Standard Thread (NST) is often referred to as “fire hose thread” as this is by far the most common thread in use today by fire departments.
How we conducted our nozzle testing.
We used a Honda self-priming water pump with a two inch inlet and a two outlet that produces 135 gallons per minute (GPM). The nozzle was attached to a fifty foot 5/8 inch hose. The pump pressure was approximately 60 psi. Gallons per minute was calculated by measuring the number of gallons a nozzle could fill a large container within one minute. The result is the GPM.
