The anti-recoil elbow is used when the capacity of the fire nozzle exceeds 100 GPM at 85 PSI. Its basic function is to reduce the effort supported by the operator. The effort is reduced by about 15%. Indeed, a fire nozzle of 125 GPM at 85 PSI exerts a reaction force of 66 lbs. Reducing this reaction to 56 lbs is felt immediately; it reduces fatigue and improves the safety of the nozzle operator. The anti-recoil elbow DIN standard has a handle to facilitate gripping. The handle may also be positioned on the shoulder of the operator. A hook on the bottom of the device allows for the positioning on a ladder rung or on a railing. The anti-recoil elbow DIN 14-368 is equipped with Storz couplings B/75 that can be easily replaced by British Instantaneous couplings 2,5", by American NST-NH couplings 2,5" or by French couplings DSP DN65. When the couplings are of the symmetric type, the inlet and outlet can be mounted on the device and elbow reversed positioned on the ground, thus eliminating the recoil force for the operator. 15% Division of forces with anti-recoil elbow Division of forces without anti-recoil elbow Anti-recoil elbows - 230 PSI Anti-recoil elbows - 230 PSI Maximum working pressure: 230 PSI Type of handle: one Material: aluminium alloy Surface treatment: polyester coating Body type: molded According to DIN 14 368 PVR 1/05 Description Weight (lbs) Ref.
