Designed with your master stream smooth bores and stacked tips in
mind, the Vortex can operate with any size master stream smooth bore.
The vanes also allow for large debris to easily pass through the
nozzle.

The adjustable smooth bore solution
If the smooth bore is your nozzle of choice, don’t limit yourself
with a gated nozzle to break your stream. With the Vortex, you can use
your smooth bore with the hard-hitting straight stream or choose a
dispersed pattern that doesn’t limit your flow.
What is Vortex?
Vortex installs behind your smooth bore tip and allows you to operate
in a straight stream or uniformly dispersed pattern without limiting
flow. Use your hard-hitting straight stream to knock down the fire, then
switch to a dispersed pattern for protection, hydraulic ventilation, or
salvage and overhaul.
Inside Vortex are short vanes that are less intrusive than a typical
stream straightener. Once you twist over to Vortex mode, the vanes pivot
to introduce a gentle spin to the water. Once that water exits your
smooth bore tip, it disperses in a narrow fog pattern. The unique design
results in virtually no friction loss regardless of the stream pattern
you’re using.
