AkronBrass #1230 Self-Educting Forestry Nozzle
Akron Brass introduced a new self-educting forestry gel nozzle in February of 2009. This nozzle was the result of more than a year of development and testing.
This particular nozzle is designed to work with a variety of thermal protective fire gels. Therefore, feedback from gel manufacturers as well as fire fighters was acquired.
John Bartlett and Barricade provided feedback and ideas while testing various prototypes during the development phase. This nozzle was the result of a collaborative effort between Akron Brass, industry leaders and end users.
Respectfully,
Jason Riggenbach,
