How is it used?
The TURBO™ 25 is installed inline between the rig and the nozzle on a 1.75-inch hose. It boosts back pressure throughout the hose stretch, improving line rigidity and water flow. Firefighters deploy it during handline operations to enhance control, reduce kinks, and ensure efficient suppression.
Who uses it?
Used by fire service professionals including pump operators, backup personnel, and nozzle operators, the TURBO™ 25 is ideal for departments focused on improving handline performance, safety, and operational efficiency.
Maintenance information
After each use, inspect for debris, wear, and proper threading. Clean with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly, and lubricate threads as needed. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.
Storage information
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and corrosive materials. Use a padded compartment or hose accessory kit to protect the unit during transport and storage.
