The Hen BLADE™ 160 is a high-capacity combination smoothbore nozzle engineered for maximum water delivery and tactical flexibility. Delivering 160 GPM at just 50 PSI, it combines the reach and penetration of a traditional smoothbore with the ability to switch to a wide, high-impact blade stream. This dual-pattern capability allows firefighters to adapt instantly to changing fireground conditions with a simple quarter-turn.

Features

• Quarter-turn operation: Instantly switch from a tight solid stream to a wide blade pattern
• Ergonomic design: Designed for comfort and control during high-volume operations
• Optimized droplet size: Enhances cooling and knockdown efficiency
• Durable construction: Made from hard-coat anodized aluminum alloy for rugged use
• Full-time swivel: Improves hose handling and directional control
• Thread compatibility: Available with 1.5” NH inlet
• NFPA compliant: Meets NFPA 1960 and 1964 standards
• Warranty: Backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty

How is it used

The Hen BLADE™ 160 is used in high-flow firefighting scenarios where rapid water delivery and stream versatility are critical. Firefighters can quickly transition between a penetrating solid stream and a wide blade stream for cooling and control. It connects to compatible shutoffs such as the HYDRO® 138 and HYDRO FORCE 138, making it ideal for structural, industrial, and large-scale fire suppression.

Who uses it

This nozzle is used by professional fire departments, industrial emergency response teams, and fire academies that require high-volume, adaptable nozzles for aggressive fire attack and overhaul operations.

Maintenance information

After each use, rinse the nozzle with clean water to remove debris and contaminants. Inspect the swivel and quarter-turn mechanism for smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts as needed and check for wear or damage. Follow manufacturer guidelines for routine maintenance and servicing.

Storage information
