Great for flowing foam with the inline inductor attached to the hose. Match the nozzle GPM to the GPM of the inductor. Great videos Sir! Have you thought about adding your series in a Podcast format? Great for listening while driving exercising etc...
Rookie firefighter question: If I can run 200 GPM out of a 50 PSI fog nozzle. Why would I choose a 100 PSI nozzle that can still only run 200 GPM? Shouldn't the 50 PSI nozzle have less reaction and easier handling while still providing the same amount of water?
xxbryan715xx Very good question. You will see a little different behavior between the pressures at the same flow. I prefer the higher flow lower pressure myself simply because you can flow more with the same nozzle reaction. A fog pattern is a little loose at 50 psi, so using a 75 psi or 100 psi will tighten up the shape of the stream a good bit. We use 100 psi nozzles at our academy on all the burn pads because the pattern behaves really well fighting LP gas and flammable liquids. You will also see a difference in the ability to kink the hose line. The higher pressure line is much more resistant to kinking. However, hose line kinkability is very dependent on the type of hose you are using. There are several hose lines designed to reduce kinking and improve flow. You are right though, you can get less nozzle reaction at the exact same flow with the lower pressure.

Please explain detail about homemade foggy-water nozzle .I can't get original product in my gantry
