Vortex® Smooth Bore Nozzle
THE ORIGINAL ADJUSTABLE SMOOTH BORE NOZZLE.

FEATURES:

• What Is the Vortex?
  The Vortex installs behind your smooth bore tip and allows you to operate in a straight stream or a uniformly dispersed pattern without limiting flow rate. It features a built-in ring and six durable, aluminum fins that pivot to introduce a gentle spin to the water, dispersing it into a narrow fog pattern. This design enables firefighters to switch between a hard-hitting straight stream and a narrow broken stream for various tactical needs, all while maintaining optimal flow rate and minimal friction loss.
• Dual Stream Capability
  Switch between solid stream and narrow broken stream without losing flow rate.
• Low-Friction Internal Fins
  Act as stream straighteners in the forward position, then pivot to introduce spin and create a narrow broken stream with minimal friction loss.
• Compatible with All Brands
  Pairs seamlessly with smooth bore tips from other manufacturers.
• Detent Ball Valve Shutoff
  On non-tip-only models, the built-in ball valve offers reliable shutoff with tactile detents for precise control.
• Foam Compatibility
  Works with inline eductors, onboard foam systems, and compressed air foam systems (CAFS).

APPLICATIONS:

• Knockdown and Initial Attack
  Deliver a high-volume solid stream for aggressive fire suppression, then switch to narrow broken stream for exposure protection and gas cooling.
• Hydraulic Ventilation
  Quickly clear smoke and heat after knockdown using the narrow broken stream pattern.
• Vehicle and Dumpster Fires
  Reach deep-seated flames or coat surfaces with narrow broken stream—all without changing nozzles.
• Void Spaces and Overhaul
  Push narrow broken stream into tight spaces or apply foam during salvage and overhaul operations.
