Universal choke for fire hoses

Universal fire-hose choke: optimum water control for firefighters in action

TheUniversal Fire Hose Choke is an indispensable tool for firefighters, designed to offer maximum flexibility and optimum control of water flow during emergency response operations. Made from high-quality aluminum, this universal choke is a mobile element compatible with all flexible hoses, including those with diameters ranging from 25 mm to 110 mm.

It operates in a similar way to a shut-off valve, but with the advantage of being able to be moved and used at any point on the pipe, without causing a permanent loss of head. This device can temporarily stop the flow of water at a specific point in time, and restore it in a matter of seconds, offering greater responsiveness and flexibility for fire-fighting crews. Ideal for situations where long hose runs are required, it enables fire hoses to be changed or relocated quickly, or a facility to be converted without interrupting the water supply. An essential tool for optimizing efficiency and safety during fire-fighting operations.

Advantages of the Universal Fire Hose Choke

• Versatility: compatible with all flexible hoses from 25 mm to 110 mm, it adapts to a wide range of hoses, offering great flexibility of use.
• Ease of use: the movable element enables thechoke to be positioned anywhere on the hose, making it easy to use in the field.
• Fast, precise flow control: the flow of water can be stopped at a chosen moment and re-established in a matter of seconds, providing fast response times for fire-fighters.
• No permanent loss of head: unlike a conventional shut-off valve, theuniversal choke creates no permanent loss of head, guaranteeing constant water flow when required.
• Robust construction: made from aluminum, thechoke is lightweight yet extremely strong and durable, capable of withstanding the harsh conditions encountered during field operations.
• Convenient for long hose runs: ideal for operations involving long hose runs, it enables fire hoses to be changed or moved quickly without disrupting the water supply.
• Improved response efficiency: by enabling water flow to be controlled quickly and efficiently, this choke helps firefighters to optimize their time and better manage complex situations.

How to use the Universal Fire Hose Choke

• Fire-fighting: this choke is mainly used in fire-fighting operations, from urban fires to forest fires, enabling fast, efficient control of water flow.
• Public works and hydraulic maintenance: thechoke is used in water supply systems or during maintenance work, where it is necessary to temporarily stop the flow to carry out repairs or reconfigure hydraulic installations.
• Industrial safety and risk management: in industrial installations where flexible hoses are used to transfer pressurized liquids, this choke helps ensure operator safety.
• Agriculture and irrigation: in irrigation systems, this hose restrictor helps to control the flow of water for irrigation, particularly on large farms where precise, flexible control is essential.
