Handline Nozzles: Various handline nozzles are detailed with different flow rates and thread types, including the D4 series with flow rates of 60, 95, and 120 gpm.
Special Agents: TARGET 7™ is highlighted for vapor mitigation and neutralization of toxic chemicals.
Foam Chambers and Accessories: Designed for flammable liquid storage tanks, with models offering flow ranges from 49 to 980 gpm.
Foam Proportioners: Includes FLOW-MIX 500 and around-the-pump proportioners, which are self-contained and require no external power source.
Monitors: Manual and automatic water-oscillating monitors with flow capacities up to 2000 gpm are detailed.
Proportioning Foam Trailers and Carts: Mobile foam carts and trailers are designed for rapid response to small fires and chemical spills.
High-Flow Series Monitors/Nozzles: Suitable for large-scale firefighting operations, achieving flow rates from 800 gpm upwards.
Specifications:
  • High-Flow Series: Capable of delivering more than 5000 gallons per minute, featuring dual waterway design and lightweight stainless steel construction.
  • Industrial Nozzles: Available with fixed orifice constant flow and user-adjustable fog angles.
  • Master Stream Nozzles: Designed for high volume with automatic pressure regulation at 100 psi.
  • AFN Nozzles: Adjustable stream patterns with hard anodized aluminum and stainless steel components.
  • Foam Nozzles: Air-aspirating and self-educting models with user-adjustable fog angles.
Procedures and Recommendations:
  • Use Single or Dual Foam Drum Kits for foam applications, providing a readily available supply of foam to the nozzle.
  • Specific part numbers are provided for ordering different nozzle models and accessories.
