PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The HEN® 1.5″ increases the back pressure by an additional 25-30 PSI in the handline stretch for 160-185 GPM nozzles.
Turbocharge the performance of 1.75-inch hose when using a 50 PSI nozzle pressure yielding impressive benefits across all essential metrics, from higher pressure hose to premium low-pressure hose design.
Streamline essential members and handline fire stream development tasks on the fire ground, enhancing suppression and safety.
FEATURES
- Increase hose pressure by 25-30 PSI with
- 160-185 GPM nozzles
- Increase hose stiffness and handling
- Reduce dangerous hose and nozzle whip
- Hard-coat anodized aluminum construction
- Available with 1.5” NH and 1.5” NPSH threads
- NFPA 1960/1964 compliant

Pump Operator
- Higher Initial PDP = Less Kinks On-Charge
- Simplifies all Transfers to Positive Pressure Source (Tank to Hydrant Transfer)
- No to Less Gating Discharges
- Governor Functions as Designed when Net Pump Pressure < Discharge Pressure
Back-up(s)
- Entire Stretch Possesses a Back Pressure Enhancement from Rig to Nozzle
- Appropriately Rigid Line is easier to Feed and Push on Advance
- Appropriately Rigid Line is easier to Pull on Advance
- 75psi BP = Less Kink Formation in the IDLH and Outside
Nozzles
- Achieve proper NP quicker upon call for Water, more Mechanical Force Knocking Dry Kinks Out
- Reduces to Eliminates Hose and Nozzle Whip Issues
- Ensures an Arm Length Nozzle Bite, Improving Water Mapping with Less Arm Movement
- Low reaction force 50psi Nozzle Pressure remains intact.
