FIRE NOZZLE
Firefighters use handline fire nozzles to put out fires, one of the most important firefighting tools. The fire hose that delivers water to extinguish fires is fitted with a handline nozzle. Handline fire nozzles must be of high quality in order to ensure effective fire suppression and improved water flow.
Nozzles are labeled with how much water they can deliver and at what pressure—for example, 60 GPM at 100 PSI or 50 GPM at 110 PSI.
The type of water stream affects firefighting. Fog nozzles create a cone of fine droplets that turn into steam, cooling the room quickly. Straight stream nozzles shoot water in a solid column, which reaches farther and hits deeper, but doesn’t cool or ventilate as well.
Bladders Serve Three Primary Purposes in Firefighting Apparatus.
- Firefighters can use water cannons to douse the flames.
- Regulate the flow of water through specially designed outlets.
- Long-range targets can benefit from stream mode, while firefighters' safety benefits from fog mode.
Output from Nozzles is Affected by Three Different Factors.
- nozzle water flow pattern
- Pressure in pounds per square inch (lbs/sq ft) (PSI)
- The nozzle's flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM)
Water pressure is key to how far, fast, and deep water can reach in a fire. Higher pressure means more water, which helps cool the burning material and put out the fire faster.
