Yes, the ONE SEVEN® system can be used with standard fire fighting hoses and jet stream nozzles. However, we strongly recommend the use of ONE SEVEN® jet stream nozzles to perfectly balance superior extinguishing results with low extinguishing agent consumption. GIMAEX adjusts the ONE SEVEN® jet stream nozzles to the exact capacity of the ONE SEVEN® system. This guarantees:
- Protection against water damage,
- Extraordinary foam quality,
- Excellent throwing distances, and
- Easy handling.
We connect the smooth bore tip of our ONE SEVEN® C-outlet to the nozzle by a specially developed coupling procedure. This allows the C - jet stream nozzle to discharge approximately 370 gallons of wet foam per minute.
GIMAEX offers 12 different nozzles for the ONE SEVEN® system. With these you can handle nearly any possible firefighting situation. Using these nozzles allows you to exert an unprecedented amount of control over the discharge rate to attack and defeat outside, or inside, fires. We focus on customization, flexibility and safety so you can work more effectively.
This special coupling also allows a firefighting team to change the tip and the nozzle immediately without trouble. The jet stream nozzle also comes equipped with a C-Storz-solid fire hose coupling. We also provide a 25mm tip that can be used at vehicle-, forest- and area fires and other outdoor operations. For greater efficiency, our newly developed sealing option (O-ring) prevents foam from leaking.
