The HEN® HYDRO FORCE™ Shutoff is a high-performance integrated shutoff valve designed for firefighting applications. It features a built-in TURBO™ back-pressure device that optimizes water flow and pressure management. Engineered for a 75 psi inlet pressure, it ensures consistent nozzle pressure between 45 to 50 psi across all 1.75-inch handline hose types. This results in a targeted flow of 175 GPM at 45 psi, delivering a manageable 60 lbs nozzle reaction force for superior control and safety.

How is it used?

The HYDRO FORCE™ Shutoff is used in conjunction with firefighting nozzles and hoses to regulate water flow and pressure during fire suppression. It is installed between the hose and nozzle, allowing firefighters to control water delivery with precision, reduce hose kinks, and minimize nozzle whip. Its ergonomic design ensures ease of use during high-pressure operations.

Who uses it?

This shutoff is primarily used by professional firefighters, fire departments, and emergency response teams. It is ideal for municipal, industrial, and wildland firefighting scenarios where hose control and water flow precision are critical.

Maintenance information

Routine inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance. Users should check for debris in the waterway, inspect seals and gaskets for wear, and verify that the shutoff mechanism operates smoothly. Lubrication of moving parts and replacement of worn components should be done as needed. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance intervals and procedures.

Storage information

Store the shutoff in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and corrosive materials. It should be kept in a protective case or compartment within a fire apparatus or equipment locker. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture to preserve the integrity of seals and internal components.
