Nozzle Overview: Weapon Selection with Curt Isakson - Brass Tacks & Hard Facts Episode #1

[@FAL0perator]

Was looking for nozzle options for farm fire suppression rig. Excellent explanation, and understated production quality. All around great video!

[@JB91710]

Quality not quantity. Application of what you have is more important than increasing volume. Thinking is better than being a Fountain Statue.

[@FlerdaMan]

Finally you make an intelligent comment

[@ALee8456]

Bravo, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[@johnolive3425]

And the condescending Limey pops up on cue! Jesus, you're contempt for American firefighters (and ANYTHING elses from America) pours out of you oral sewer like vomit. If we need your opinion, we'll ask for it!

[@derekmoore1612]

Watched the video for the knowledge... Came to the comments to leave a random fact: At 1.25 speed, sounds like Dan Aykroyd.

Chief, as usual, great explanations. I'm going to throw one thing in the ring. You spoke about the automatic being a great nozzle for foam use. I would be mindful this is possibly true if using a foam proportioning system, however, if you are educting foam from the pail....BE SURE to match your nozzle with your eductor. From personal experience using that very nozzle, your foam product just isn't going to be there and you're going to find yourself with a growing fire, not a foam coated one. It's a good nozzle, just not my choice for foam.

[@dustinford3686]

He meant for use with an eductor, most eductors are rated for 95 gpm and the 60-200 flow fits that.

Excellent Explanation and very useful. Thanks

[@pugguk]

Great video!!!

[@ASA-hg4fx]

Thanks for ur explanations

[@TanweerAhmed]

Informative

[@Keeping-it-real71]

Roughly how much feet of hose would be the for the 60PSI at 200GPM, if inch and 3/4 hose is used?

[@ElkhartBrass]

Hi Galen, it is 60 psi at the nozzle tip. So it would depend on your pump discharge pressure.

[@Keeping-it-real71]

@@ElkhartBrass Thankyou.

Any of you heroes over 20 yrs old?

[@whatacow8]

what's the difference between tft combo vs elkhart brass combo?

[@pyroman6000]

I'm assuming you mean the automatic? Not really that much. TFT uses a sliding valve vs Elkhart's ball valve. It does tend to reduce turbulence when you gate back a bit, but being a combo nozzle that probably does little to impact your stream. Both work well. Both have put out plenty of fire, and equip engines all over the country. Just depends on who your local dealer sells; price, etc. AFIK, TFT also offers a fixed gallonage, low pressure option akin to the Chief. (they used to, anyway0 it's been a few years) My old department used the TFT handline nozzle on the 1.75", and Elkhart Automatics on the 2 1/2"s. ( we wanted a break apart with stacked tips, too. And that's what showed up with all the new gear for the quint when it arrived) I don't recall there being any glaring differences in use, between the two. Me, personally, I prefer a smoothbore, or the low pressure Chief. Mainly for the reduced nozzle reaction.

Thanks a lot for this awesome video!!!

[@mazharshahzad1023]

Pls sir tell jet nozzle

[@njdevfan69]

Great video. Very informative. On a side note, however, as both a combat veteran and a professional firefighter, stop trying to relate the fire service to the military. Firefighting is NOTHING like combat or the military in general, for the most part. Stop trying to use terms like "weapon" and "combat." If you've done both, you know it's a ridiculous comparison.

[@mat______4772]

It's called a metaphor and people have used them since the invention of language. By announcing your status as both combat vet and "professional" firefighter, you signal nothing but the fact that you've got a chip on your shoulder. Get off the "I'm a veteran" pedestal and stop making the rest of us look bad.

[@TRX450RVlogger]

njdevfan69 shut the fuck up. Who cares if you were in the military. You're trying to sound like a cool guy but the reality is that you're a nothing.

[@TheKMG365]

You are exactly right, it is completely ridiculous to compare firefighting to combat.

[@rwooleryable]

njdevfan69 you right brotha!

[@cf453]

Because firefighting is more dangerous than combat. Same with roofing, logging, and deep-sea fishing.
