The Type of Fog Jet Nozzles

Fire-fighting technology has improved over the years, from more durable hoses to more sophisticated water delivery services, from the development of foam as a fire-fighting agent to precisely milled fittings for the equipment. Fire-monitoring spray systems equipped with fog/jet nozzles come in several types that can be portable, mobile or fixed position and vary in capacity as well.

Fog/Jet Nozzles
- The simplest model of a fog/jet nozzle is one of minimal capacity that lets water or foam be adjusted by hand from a wide-cast fog pattern to a straight jet stream. It operates with stainless cannon sprayers with an internal spray pattern. Bodies may be bronze, anodized aluminum or stainless steel.
Models With A Cut-Off Valve
- Fog/jet nozzles with a cut-off valve have the same features as the simple model but have the option of stopping the flow completely by turning an outside sleeve cut-off valve. The sleeve has bronze handles that allow for easier adjustment if the operator is wearing hand gear of any kind.
Manual Hydraulic
- Manual hydraulic models have similar features to the others but also are equipped with a hydraulic cylinder that may be used to move the nozzle by remote control. If hydraulics fail, manual operation will move the nozzle.
Large Capacity
- Large-capacity fog/jet nozzles have a stainless-steel body and are outfitted for large-capacity water or foam flow. They are fully hydraulic and have remote capabilities for situations where the fire may prove to be volatile.
