TFT Vortex® Nozzle Series

With just a simple twist, the VORTEX moves from a hard hitting straight stream to a uniformly dispersed pattern without gating the valve and reducing the fire flow. Available in a tip only, with valve or with valve and grip. A complete range of smooth bore tips are offered separately.
 
TFT’s VORTEX® enhances the use of a smooth bore nozzle. It is intended for installation behind a smooth bore nozzle for use with water or firefighting foam solutions. Six short vanes in the bore of the VORTEX reduce turbulence in straight stream. Actuation from “STREAM” to “VORTEX” causes the vanes to pivot proportionally. This induces a gentle spin in the water to create a uniformly dispersed stream pattern at the exit of the smooth bore tip resulting in virtually no friction loss regardless of which stream pattern is selected. It is available in manual and electric remote versions in 2.5” (65mm) 3.5" (88mm) and 6” (152mm) sizes.

• TWO STREAM PATTERNS - With a simple twist of the index ring, the VORTEX moves from a hard hitting straight stream to a uniformly dispersed pattern for protection, hydraulic ventilation or salvage/overhaul
• ANY SMOOTHBORE - The VORTEX can be paired with any smooth bore up to 11/4” (32mm) to use on a 1 1/2” (38mm) up to a 2.5” (65mm) hose line. Once the tip is installed onto the VORTEX, you’re ready to operate the nozzle
• NO FLOW REDUCTION - Create a dispersed pattern without gating your valve and reducing your fire flow. In addition, VORTEX vanes are less obtrusive than a typical stream
• straightener, resulting in virtually no friction loss
