Vortex
Fixed Flow VORTEX Fire Hose Nozzle
About the Vortex
If the smooth bore is your nozzle of choice, don’t limit yourself with a gated nozzle to break your stream. With the Vortex, you can use your smooth bore with the hard-hitting straight stream or choose a dispersed pattern that doesn’t limit your flow.
What is Vortex?
Vortex installs behind your smooth bore tip and allows you to operate in a straight stream or uniformly dispersed pattern without limiting flow. Use your hard-hitting straight stream to knock down the fire, then switch to a dispersed pattern for protection, hydraulic ventilation, or salvage and overhaul.
Inside Vortex are short vanes that are less intrusive than a typical stream straightener. Once you twist over to Vortex mode, the vanes pivot to introduce a gentle spin to the water. Once that water exits your smooth bore tip, it disperses in a narrow fog pattern. The unique design results in virtually no friction loss regardless of the stream pattern you’re using.
