This is among other firefighting equipments. A fire pipe is a hose that carries water or other fire retardant to help put out flames. When used outdoors it is attached to an inferno engine or a blaze hydrant. The normal working pressure of a fire hose nozzle ranges between 8 to 20 bar, while its maximum pressure goes up to 83 bars.

After use this pipe should be kept hanging on a high structure to ensure that it dries completely. This ought to be done since if some water is left on it may cause rotting of the material making the pipe and render it not of use anymore. So for a classic inferno station it should be fitted with high structures which are specifically for hanging these devices to keep them last long enough.

Other use of this device is as a crowd control, this is a technique to help scatter away protesters who have proofed to be out of control. Modern inferno pipes use a wide range of natural and imitation fabrics and elastomers in their structure. This has an advantage in that they can be stored when wet and still do not rot and also these materials can stand the destructive effects of exposure to chemicals and sunlight.

The current pipes are also of a light weight than the older makes which helps lessen the physical strain by the fire fighters. An improvement of this device is one which sucks out air from the interior of the inferno pipes. This process makes the pipe rigid and smaller. This is of help since it allows more inferno pipes to be packed in the same section on a blaze fighting machinery.

This fore fitted device generates and directs the foam, water, or any other substance in use for putting off the blaze. It plays a great role in controlling the stream of flow of the water from the hose pipe. It can generate both sharp and narrow streams which can aim at a longer distance and much precisely. Another form is a dispersed stream which goes on a wide space. This device can control the flow of water freely without really having to switch off the supply.

Some of the characteristics an ordinary inferno fore head should have are; is supposed to have an aluminum material which is known to be light and durable. It should also have the ability to maintain a consistent flow which should be in consideration to the size of flames.

The device should also certify the set international standards of such products. Since the intensity of fire can be of different magnitudes then there arises the need to make inferno pipes of different sizes. Consequentially, the nozzles too should vary ion sizes normally from 1.5 inches to 4 inches but not limited to this size.

Even though these devices are made with the ability to be regulated into different pressures, it is better to keep the flow at an average rate for safety of the product but can be increased depending on the burn. When cleaning the design of the nozzle would help a lot determine how easy or difficult it can be.
