Fire Hose Reel Nozzle Jet Spray Brass 19mm

Description

A replacement brass twist nozzle with rubber bumper for 19mm fire hose reel systems. The rubber bumper at the nozzle tip protects both the nozzle and the surface it contacts when the hose is dragged or the nozzle rests against walls, doors, and floor surfaces during deployment — reducing damage to the nozzle tip and the surrounding environment. Dual spray pattern: jet for directed stream to reach the base of a fire, or spray/fog pattern for wider coverage and protection. Standard 19mm tail fitting for direct replacement on any compatible hose reel assembly.

Particularly suited to installations where the nozzle will be dragged over hard floors and around corners regularly, or where surface protection during deployment is a consideration.

Key Features

• Rubber bumper — protects nozzle tip and contact surfaces during deployment
• Dual pattern: twist between jet and spray/fog modes
• Brass construction — corrosion resistant, long service life
• 19mm tail fitting — compatible with standard Australian 19mm hose reel assemblies
• Twist operation with rubber bumper protection at the nozzle face

Technical Specifications

• Construction: Brass
• Style: Twist Jet Spray
• Tail: 19mm with rubber bumper
• Compatible with: Standard 19mm fire hose reel assemblies

Compliance & Installation

Nozzle replacements should be carried out as part of scheduled AS 1851 servicing or as a corrective action following a failed inspection. After replacement, test both jet and spray patterns to confirm correct operation. Log the replacement in the building’s fire protection maintenance records.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the rubber bumper on this nozzle?

The rubber bumper protects the brass nozzle tip when it makes contact with hard surfaces — floors, walls, doors, equipment — during hose deployment. In a fire event, the hose is often dragged quickly across floors and around corners, with the nozzle in contact with surfaces. Without the bumper, repeated hard surface contact will deform or chip the brass nozzle tip over time, potentially affecting spray pattern consistency. The bumper also protects painted and finished surfaces from being scratched by the brass tip during training drills or emergency deployment.

What is the difference between jet and spray modes?

Jet mode delivers a concentrated stream of water in a straight line — used to reach the base of a fire from a distance, penetrate burning materials, or reach a fire through an opening. Spray/fog mode disperses the water into a wider cone pattern — used for cooling, protecting the operator from radiated heat, suppressing flammable vapours, and fighting fires in an enclosed space. The twist action between jet and spray on this nozzle allows the operator to switch modes without stopping water flow. Most fire training recommends approaching a fire in spray mode for heat protection, then switching to jet once close enough to attack the base of the fire.

How does this compare to a standard brass twist nozzle without a bumper?

The core twist operation and 19mm compatibility are the same. The bumper nozzle adds rubber tip protection and dual jet/spray functionality. If your current installation has a single-pattern twist nozzle without a bumper, this is a direct drop-in upgrade that adds both a spray mode and surface protection. The additional functionality is particularly useful in industrial, warehouse, and high-traffic locations. For standard office and retail installations, either nozzle is suitable — the bumper model is simply more versatile.

Is this nozzle compatible with my existing hose reel?

This nozzle uses a 19mm tail fitting compatible with the vast majority of Australian-standard 19mm fire hose reel assemblies. Confirm your hose diameter is 19mm before ordering. If your installation uses an older 25mm hose system, this nozzle is not compatible. Your fire protection technician can confirm the correct specification at your next scheduled service.

How often does the rubber bumper need to be replaced?

The rubber bumper is designed to be long-lasting under normal contact wear. Your fire protection technician will check the bumper condition at each AS 1851 service — if the rubber is split, hardened, or has detached from the nozzle body, it should be replaced. In most commercial building installations where the hose is rarely deployed, the bumper will outlast several service cycles. If the hose reel is used frequently in training or operational drills, inspect the bumper more regularly.
