Overview

• The BLITZ branch pipe is the component fitted at the end of a fire hose that turns the water flow into a directed jet. Before any other specification, a correct purchase begins with one question.
• First and above all: does the coupling match your hose? This branch pipe comes with an NST threaded inlet in 1.5 inch or 2.5 inch, and NST is an American thread with a defined form and pitch that differs from the other couplings used across the region, such as British instantaneous couplings or BSP threads. A branch pipe that does not match the hose thread cannot be fitted and cannot be adapted on site — which makes checking the coupling type in your hose cabinets the first step, ahead of price and ahead of size. The product data also states that connections are available "or as required", meaning the branch pipe can be supplied with a coupling that matches your network if it is not NST — our sales team settles that when preparing the quotation.
• Second: the shut-off lever and the ball valve. This is the most important functional feature of this model. A plain branch pipe without a valve means water is controlled from the distant hose cabinet valve; so if the operator needs to stop the water to advance, to reposition, or to avoid flooding what need not be flooded, he has to go back to the valve or shout to whoever is standing at it. Here the ball valve sits in the operator's hand, opened and closed with a single movement of a lever, and a ball valve specifically gives quarter-turn opening and closing with less resistance to flow in the fully open position than other valve types.
• Third: the nozzle is interchangeable. The standard size is 20 mm, with 16, 19 and 22 mm options. Nozzle size is what sets the flow rate and the reach at a given pressure: a smaller nozzle gives greater reach at a lower flow, a larger one gives a higher flow at a shorter reach. Having four sizes within the same model means the network's performance can be tuned to the pump pressure actually available rather than replacing the whole branch pipe.
• The body is aluminium alloy in a natural aluminium finish, and the branch pipe weighs approximately 2.5 to 3.0 kg — a tangible difference for anyone holding it for an extended period, on a ladder or on a raised platform. The red PVC grip gives a non-slip hold and marks the branch pipe out visually. The flow pattern is straight jet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do I make sure the branch pipe matches our hoses?

• By checking the coupling type in your hose cabinets first. This branch pipe comes with an NST thread in 1.5 or 2.5 inch, an American thread with a defined form and pitch that does not match British instantaneous couplings or BSP threads. A mismatched branch pipe cannot be fitted and cannot be adapted on site. The product data states that connections are available "as required", so if your network uses a different coupling, contact our sales team before ordering.

Q2: What do the ball valve and shut-off lever give me?

• They put control of the water in the operator's hand rather than at the distant hose cabinet valve. Water can be stopped instantly to advance, to reposition or to avoid flooding what need not be flooded, then reopened at once. A ball valve specifically gives quarter-turn opening and closing of the lever, with less resistance to flow in the fully open position than other valve types.

Q3: How do I choose the nozzle size?

• Nozzle size sets the relationship between flow and reach at a given pressure: a smaller nozzle (16 mm) gives greater reach at a lower flow, a larger one (22 mm) gives a higher flow at a shorter reach, and 20 mm is the standard size supplied by default. The choice rests on the pump pressure and flow actually available on your network, and we recommend consulting the network engineer before fixing the size for bulk quantities.

Q4: What is the rated working pressure?

• The manufacturer's data sheet gives two pressure figures — 7 to 16 bar and 21 bar — without identifying which is the working pressure and which is the test pressure. Because that figure feeds directly into the project specification and into pump selection, we request written confirmation from the manufacturer with every project order before relying on it. Contact our sales team for the confirmation applying to your order.

Q5: Is delivery available to Riyadh, Dammam, and all KSA regions?

• Yes, supply is available across all KSA regions with bulk quantities available for equipping hose cabinets and firefighting networks, with the inlet size and nozzle size specified per site at order time.
