The TURBO™ 25 Back Pressure Increaser is a high-performance firefighting accessory designed to enhance the effectiveness of 1.75-inch hose lines. Engineered to increase back pressure by 25–30 PSI, it optimizes water flow for 160–185 GPM nozzles operating at 50 PSI nozzle pressure. This results in improved hose rigidity, reduced kinks, and better water mapping during fire suppression operations.

Features

• Pressure Boosting: Increases back pressure by 25–30 PSI for enhanced hose performance.
• Kink Reduction: Minimizes hose kinks both inside and outside the IDLH environment.
• Improved Hose Rigidity: Makes hose lines easier to feed, push, and pull during advancement.
• Streamlined Transfers: Simplifies transitions from tank to hydrant with positive pressure.
• Enhanced Nozzle Control: Reduces whip and improves nozzle bite for better water mapping.
• Governor Optimization: Ensures proper governor function when net pump pressure is less than discharge pressure.
• Quick Nozzle Pressure Achievement: Achieves proper nozzle pressure faster upon water call.
• Low Reaction Force: Maintains low reaction force at 50 PSI nozzle pressure for safer handling.

How is it used?

The TURBO™ 25 is installed inline on a 1.75-inch hose with a 1.5" NH inlet. It is positioned between the rig and the nozzle to enhance back pressure throughout the entire hose stretch. Firefighters use it during handline deployment to improve hose handling, reduce kinks, and ensure optimal water delivery.

Who uses it?

This tool is primarily used by fire service professionals including pump operators, backup personnel, and nozzle operators. It is ideal for departments seeking to improve handline performance and safety during fire suppression.

Maintenance information

Routine inspection is recommended after each use. Check for debris, wear, and proper threading. Clean with mild detergent and water, and ensure all components are dry before storage. Lubricate threads periodically to maintain smooth connections.

Storage information

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and corrosive materials. Keep in a padded compartment or hose accessory kit to prevent damage during transport.
