TKO Nozzle

A TKO nozzle attaches to a fire hose, converting water flow into a knockdown spray pattern designed to suppress flame and cool a fire scene quickly during initial attack. The nozzle body is usually brass or lightweight aluminum alloy, chosen for durability against heat exposure and repeated drops during active firefighting operations. Flow rate typically adjusts between 95 and 250 litres per minute, depending on nozzle setting and connected hose diameter, letting crews match water output to fire size and available water supply.

Pattern adjustment on most models shifts between a straight stream for reaching distant or elevated fire points and a wide fog pattern for cooling a room or knocking down heat ahead of an advancing crew. Some nozzles add a shutoff valve built into the handle, letting firefighters stop water flow instantly without needing to close a valve further back at the hose connection or truck. Thread connections match standard national or local hose coupling sizes, usually 38mm or 65mm, ensuring compatibility with existing hose stock at a fire station.

Weight stays manageable for one-person operation, typically under 2 kilograms for handline nozzles, reducing fatigue during extended firefighting operations where a crew member holds the nozzle for several minutes at a time. Grip surfaces use textured rubber or knurled metal, maintaining hold even when wet gloves reduce normal grip strength during active use.

Fire departments use TKO nozzles for structure fire response, relying on the pattern adjustment to handle both direct attack and defensive cooling operations from a single tool. Industrial fire brigades at factories and refineries also stock these nozzles for rapid response to equipment or chemical fires on site. Airport fire and rescue services keep TKO nozzles on hand for aircraft fire suppression during ground emergencies.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies TKO nozzles to fire departments, industrial fire brigades, and airport rescue services across Pakistan. Flow rate and coupling size are matched to existing hose and truck equipment during consultation.
