Nozzles
LEADER nozzles have been specifically designed to ensure SAFETY, RELIABILITY and ROBUSTNESS.
Recognized as a leader in the development of rugged innovative fire fighting equipment, the R&D team from LEADER have developped the LEADER nozzle range which combines design, technicity, ergonomy and performance.
SELECTABLE AND AUTOMATIC NOZZLES AVAILABLE:
LEADER nozzles have perfect jet quality and very low level of maintenance.
AVAILABLE IN 2 TYPES MATERIALS: ALUMINIUM OR FIBERTECH® COMPOSITE
Firefighter responders are used to working with aluminium and brass nozzles. LEADER proposes a full aluminium range of fire nozzles.
They also now have the choice of a new material: the LEADER FiberTech® composite.
Always at the cutting edge, LEADER is introducing composite material into the design of its firefighting equipment with properties equal or better than those of ordinary materials.
The composite is a material consisting of:
- a reinforcement - in this case glass fibres - which provides most of the material’s mechanical properties,
- and a matrix which acts as a binder.
The composite perfectly replaces metal alloys and is already used in many fields: automotive industry, aerospace, weapons ....
THE LEADER FIBERTECH® COMPOSITE CHALLENGES ALUMINIUM AND BRASS!
FiberTech® composite strengths are many compared with brass and aluminium:
- Far lighter than brass and lighter than aluminium alloy,
- Equal in terms of mechanical strength and durability to aluminium alloy,
-
Stronger resistance to corrosion compared to aluminium alloy and brass,
- in saline environments
- in use with foam concentrates
- Equal to aluminium alloy for resistance to chemicals,
- Thermal resistance: No deformation of the mass at high temperatures (unlike aluminium),
- Thermal insulation: The material naturally insulates the user from the cold,
- Electrical insulation: Better protection for the nozzle operator.
FIREFIGHTING NOZZLES WITH MULTIPLE STRENGTHS!
Backdraft, flash-over… Fire-fighters face a multitude of risks during their operations. To facilitate fire operations and protect the operators, LEADER branches have multiple strengths such as :
- 1 - Body in FiberTech® composite (regular size) or hard anodized aluminium (all sizes)
- 2 - Wide tactile marker indicates maximum flow (MultiFlow)
- 3 - Large and bright tactile indicator for narrow cone fog attack position
- 4 - Spray teeth: Generate a fog of very fine droplets for cooling combustion gases.
Spinning turbine teeth (option available for regular size nozzles)
- 5 - Bumper made of polyurethane resistant to high temperatures, hydrocarbons and aggressive chemicals.
Three adjustable stream shapes:
- Straight stream for attack
- Full cone narrow spray pattern for attack
- Wide range of flowrates: selector ring includes a flush position
- 6 - Laser-etched marking for greater fire resistance
- 7 - Wide range of flowrates: selector ring includes a flush position
- 8 - Ergonomic pistol grip insulated against the cold
- 9 - Swivel inlet
- 10 - Inlet screen keeps out debris (except 1'' version and large size nozzles)
- 11 - Flow control handle:
- Large, easy to grasp
- Ideal design for the pulsing technique
- 5 detent positions (4 open + 1 closed)
- Encapsulated detent system: Always clean and operational
- 12 - Stainless steel slide valve for progressive opening/closing. Reduces water hammer effect (compact and regular size nozzles)
THREE SIZES AVAILABLE TO SUIT FLOWRATE CAPACITIES:
C: Compact R: Regular L: Large
ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS:
- All coupling types
- Foam adapter
- Coloured flow control handle and pistol grip
