TFT Working Fire Nozzle
The TFT Working Fire nozzle delivers revolutionary performance when you need maximum flows for a “working fire.” For everyday use, it is a 150 GPM @ 75 psi or 160 GPM @ 50 PSI fixed GPM nozzle, but when you need even more GPM, the nozzle’s exclusive pressure relief system dramatically limits nozzle reaction.
The Pressure Relief Feature is only active above 150 GPM or 160 GPM and limits reaction forces when GPM increases above the rated 150 GPM or 160 GPM. The Working Fire Nozzle is designed to send more water to the seat of the fire when you need it and still have a manageable attack line.
The Working Fire Fixed Flow Hybrid Nozzle Design from TFT delivers:
• 150 GPM @ 75 PSI or 160 GPM @ 50 PSI for Initial Attack per NFPA 1964 (2018)
• Limits Reaction Force at Higher GPM unlike Standard Fixed Flow Nozzles
• Reduced Nozzle Pressure at flows below 150 GPM unlike Standard Automatic Nozzles
• Individual serial numbered
• Five year warranty

Some of the common challenges solved by the Working Fire Nozzle:
• “We want higher GPM with lower reaction force”
• “We are experiencing a lot of hose kinks after we switched to 50 psi nozzles”
• “We can’t afford to switch the entire department to kink resistant hose”
• “We need to at least hit the NFPA 1710 minimum 150 gpm”
• “ We want to flow more than the NFPA 1710 150 gpm minimum”
• “ If our fixed GPM nozzles are over pumped, the reaction force sky rockets”
• “Our 100 psi nozzles have way too much reaction force for our minimum staffig”
Nozzle Configurations:
• Tip only (pair with TFT Ball Valve Shut-Off F140F)
• One piece nozzle (no pistol grip)
• Break Apart Nozzle (with pistol grip)
| Style | Weight | Body Size | Inlet Coupling |

| Nozzle | 4.9 lbs. | ||
| Nozzle w/ Pistol Grip | 5.15 lbs. |
Color Coding:
• Used to match hose colors and/or pump panel discharge labels
• Changes the color of the pistol grip (if equipped), bail handle and indicator ring
• Colors: Black, Blue, Red, Yellow
