The Various Uses Of Fire Hose Nozzle

By Anita Ortega


This is equipment that is used to extinguish out flames. A hose is a pipe that carries the substance that is being used to stop the burn. When in used outdoors it is fitted to a blaze engine or an inferno hydrant. The average working pressure of fire hose nozzle range between eight to twenty bars while the highest pressure is given to be 83 bars.

When it has been done with its usage the pipe should be hanged on a place where it is possible to drip out all the water in it to unsure it does not depreciate or rot which would make it to break into pieces and make it unreliable for its use purpose. That tells why in every inferno station there are high fitted structures that are for hanging these devices for proper maintenance and safe keeping.

Apart from just fire extinguishing this devices are also used as a mechanism to chase away unlawful protesters from the streets. The current blaze pipes are made from diverse natural and imitated fabrics and also elastomers in their make substance. These has overcame the problem of rooting of pipes when left with water traces and also effect of being exposed in the sun for long and also coming into contact when in work.

When compared, the modern pipes are much light than those that were made a while ago which makes it easier for the users to lift. There has been newly developed device that are fitted in the inferno pipes to suck air from the inside of the pipe. This new technology has also made them tuff and smaller. This is of importance since it saves on space when being stored in the station.

The nozzle helps generate and direct a stream of water, powder, foam and other used inferno extinguishing substances. This device is used to regulate the spill when emitting it from the pipe. It can generate narrow streams which usually goes a longer distance. Another spill is a dispersed stream which spills widely but not as far as the narrow one. Using this fore device you can control the flow of the extinguishing substance without really putting off the supply.

Some of the characteristics an ordinary inferno fore head should have are; is supposed to have an aluminum material which is known to be light and durable. It should also have the ability to maintain a consistent flow which should be in consideration to the size of flames.

These products should have satisfied the set rules and regulations to be followed internationally on the quality of the make. Since there are diverse sizes of pipes then there should also be diversified sizes of these products, normal ones range between 1.5 inches to 4 inches in diameter

Since these devices are easily breakable they should be handled with care when improving pressure to ensure they last long enough for their value. High pressures should be when necessitated by very vigorous flames. Cleaning of these devices is easy when it design favor easy reach to where there may be clogging.
