Summary: If you're dealing with pressure issues on the fireground—especially in high-rise operations or with inconsistent water supply—the Mid-Force nozzle gives you two pressure settings in one tool. It operates at 100 psi by default and switches to 55 psi with a built-in pressure switch. This lets you maintain solid flow at lower pressures without making any pump adjustments.
How to Overcome Handline Nozzle Pressure Issues
Fireground pressure challenges come in many forms—long stretches, standpipe setups, or fluctuating supply. The Mid-Force handline nozzle from TFT offers a built-in solution: two pressure settings in one nozzle, controlled by a simple switch.
Dual-Pressure Flexibility Without Pump Adjustments
Out of the box, the nozzle operates at 100 psi. But if you shut it down and flip the pressure switch, it becomes a 55 psi nozzle—no pump changes required. This is useful in any scenario where pressure is limited or fluctuating, like:
-
Climbing multiple floors in a high-rise
-
Running long lines
-
Dealing with inconsistent or reduced water supply
Lower Pressure, Higher Flow Potential
Switching to 55 psi means your required pump pressure drops, but you can still achieve solid flows. That makes it easier for crews to maintain fire attack even when ideal pressures aren’t available.
One Tool, Two Options
This nozzle isn’t about complexity—it’s about options. With the Mid-Force, you carry one nozzle but get the ability to adapt in the moment. No extra gear. No second line. Just a quick switch that changes how the nozzle behaves to match your fireground conditions.
