When it comes to firefighting, nozzles are among the most important and widely used tools of the fire service. Firefighters use them to stop the spread of a fire, save buildings and facilities and above all saves lives – of other people and their own.
Intuitive operation and high performance
That’s why Rosenbauer’s RTE FX range offers the ultimate high-end nozzles for this vital task. These first impress with their ergonomics – because intuitive and therefore automatically correct operation is the most important element in safe use. In addition, they feature top-quality materials and are designed to cope with high strain. RTE FX nozzles are suitable for municipal, industrial and airport fire departments, can be operated by all firefighters without long training times, and are cost-effective.
For indoor and outdoor fires: from 40 to 750 l/min
RTE FX nozzles are available in three sizes. With maximum flow rates of 235, 400, and 750 l/min (EN) or 230, 475, and 750 l/min (NFPA), they cover the entire spectrum of firefighting requirements for indoor to outdoor fires
Nozzles are an indispensable tool for firefighting and other emergency services. Here are some of their most important applications
Fighting interior fires
The challenge here are the constantly changing environmental conditions. With superb operability thanks to their cubic design and variability in jet distance and shape, the RTE FX nozzles really showcase their strengths when fighting interior fires
Fighting industrial fires
Industrial fires can develop enormous fire loads. That’s why RTE FX nozzles have an extremely wide spray jet to protect advancing firefighting crews from excessive heat. This shield function also makes them suitable for approaching pipelines that need to be closed, e.g. in the event of gas fires. At the same time, the high throw distances of the full jet setting allows firefighting from a safe distance.
Flue gas cooling
Advancing firefighting teams are constantly confronted with the potential danger of flue gases igniting when fighting interior fires. RTE FX nozzles provide the emergency services with excellent protection thanks to the fast attack setting and the slide valve that creates the perfect spray pattern
Fighting fires from a distance
Effective extinguishing over large distances requires precision and using an extinguishing agent jet with the correct range. That’s why all RTE FX nozzles are optimized for long jet distances
Fighting outdoor fires
Fighting fire sources from outside requires maximum precision over long distances. The full jet setting of the RTE FX is perfect for this, because it makes firefighting easier, while protecting neighboring objects from a safe distance. The special handle design of the RTE FX reduces strain on hands and arms during long deployments
Intuitively connected
RTE FX nozzle.
Rosenbauer’s RTE FX nozzles combine uncompromising state-of-the-art technology, an intuitive operating concept, and the highest-quality materials and manufacturing processes to create a remarkably functional and cost-effective product. The range has now been expanded to include models with flow rates of up to 750 l/min, leaving nothing to be desired when it comes to versatility
Ingenious, high-quality, and maintenance-free
The RTE FX nozzle is bursting with innovations, and the manufacturing and materials used are just as high-quality as the engineering. Every RTE FX nozzle is made of anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and robust plastic, and is designed to be a zero-maintenance tool
