What is the flow rate of a vari-nozzle according to standard specifications?

The standard flow rate of a vari-nozzle is commonly specified at 95 gallons per minute (gal/min). This flow rate is considered optimal for various firefighting scenarios, providing a balance between effective water delivery and manageable pressure.

Vari-nozzles are designed to allow firefighters to control the pattern of the water stream, adapting it to different situations, such as extinguishing fires or cooling hot surfaces. The specified flow rate ensures that the nozzle can deliver enough water to be effective while remaining within the operational capabilities and safety standards of the firefighting equipment.

Understanding the designated flow rate is crucial for ensuring that fire streams can be deployed effectively, helping fire teams optimize their response and tactics during emergencies.
