Deseflpflon: 1.75 in nozzles. ~y thc Fire Dept. is using 4 different
nozzles on our hand lines. They have been purchased over the past te~
years. The nozzles we are proposing will standardi~ all nozzles in order
to avoid confusion to our crews. They arc more cfficicm with thc
compressed air foam system we are now using on fires and wffi allow us
to ~ at much lower pressures, which are easier for firefighters to
maneuver. The nozzles are sirnpl~ to operate (less moving parts) and half
the cost of those purchased 5 to l0 years ago. They is also a good market
in the fire dept conmmnit7 to sell the used nozzles to re-coup costs
