Different nozzle manufacturers offer different approaches to balancing flow, pressure, nozzle reaction, and line performance. Whether departments prefer smooth bore configurations, low-pressure combination nozzles, or integrated back-pressure technologies, each setup creates its own advantages and operational considerations.
In this series, Kevin Pfluger breaks down some of the LPX nozzle options from Elkhart Brass, HEN, and Task Force Tips.
What're You Pulling?


Evolving the small diameter line for low pressure attack, patent-pending LPX technology reinforces only the nozzle-end of the hose to minimize whip & kinking for increased control.


The most advanced double-jacketed 2” (51mm) attack hose capable of delivering targeted flows of 210-300 GPM with up to 30% less weight compared to standard 2.5" lines.


Designed for aggressive fire fighting applications where durability coupled with lightweight, excellent low pressure kink resistance and superior water flow are critical factors.
