What is the nozzle pressure for all fog nozzles?

Fog nozzles are designed to provide a specific nozzle pressure to ensure effective operation. The standard nozzle pressure for fog nozzles is typically set at 100 psi. This pressure is essential for achieving optimal performance, including the desired reach and effective atomization of water, which is critical for extinguishing fires and controlling heat.

Operating at this nozzle pressure allows the fog nozzle to create droplets that enhance cooling and smothering effects, thus improving firefighting effectiveness in varying conditions. While compatible pressures may vary based on specific nozzle designs or applications, 100 psi is the commonly accepted standard, allowing firefighters to operate the nozzles effectively across a range of firefighting scenarios.
