What is the ThunderFog? 

The ThunderFog selectable handline nozzle is built for firefighters demanding reliability and hard-hitting streams to tackle the toughest challenges. Designed for aggressive fire departments, it delivers exceptional performance with selectable flow rates between 30-250 GPM (110-950 LPM) at pressures of 75 or 100 PSI (5 or 7 bar). Lightweight, durable, and highly maneuverable, the ThunderFog nozzle thrives in demanding environments, making it a trusted tool for your team. This nozzle is for firefighters who want control over their flow rate at the nozzle, allowing adaptability to different scenarios on the fireground.

What Problems Does the ThunderFog Solve?


  • Limited Control at the Nozzle: The QuadraFog nozzle allows firefighters to adjust flow rates directly at the nozzle, eliminating the need to call the pump operator. This feature enables faster response times, improved efficiency, and greater control during dynamic fireground operations.
  • Heat Management Challenges: For enhanced cooling and steam conversion, the QuadraFog nozzle offers an optional spinning metal teeth configuration, creating a finely atomized fog stream for better heat absorption and visibility.
  • High-Maintenance Issues: The waterway and fog teeth are comprised of stainless steel which reduces corrosion risks and increases the longevity of the nozzle. The quick-change valve seat allows for replacement in the field without disassembling the nozzle.

Spinning Metal Teeth

Durable stainless steel spinning teeth generate a finely atomized fog stream, maximizing heat absorption and steam conversion for superior fire suppression. This design enhances cooling efficiency, reduces heat buildup, and improves visibility, making it ideal for interior attacks and knockdown operations in intense firefighting environments.

Fixed Metal Teeth

Rugged fixed metal teeth produce a consistent, fully filled fog pattern for reliable performance in demanding fireground conditions. This design is ideal for advancing hose lines, providing a protective fog shield that pushes back heat, flames, and smoke, enhancing firefighter safety during interior and exterior attacks.

Control Your Pattern

The ThunderFog nozzle allows for quick transition between wide fog for exposure protection, narrow fog to cut through intense heat, and straight stream for when you need hard-hitting reach. Stream variation is a key feature for hydraulic ventilation, directing smoke and heat out of openings, such as windows.

Frequently Asked Questions About the ThunderFog (FAQ)

You may not—it depends. Tradition plays a big role in nozzle selection. If your department runs smooth bores, you’ve probably joked about those using selectable nozzles. But every response district has unique needs, priorities, and challenges, influencing nozzle choices based on what works best for their region.

Selectable nozzles are often chosen by departments that need or want variable flow rates or the ability to adjust their nozzle for different fire conditions. In other words, they prefer a crescent wrench over a fixed-size open-end wrench—a different approach, but not a wrong one.

These nozzles are also commonly used by WUI departments, departments relying on static water sources (lakes, ponds, etc.), and those with inconsistent water supplies. For some, adaptability is key to handling the challenges of their district.
