Description
Fire Hose Fog Nozzle, Adjustable Straight Stream to Fog, Twist Shutoff, UL Listed, Wildland Firefighting Compatible
Product Overview
Brass holds up where plastic cracks. After years of heat cycling and rough handling on a hose rack or wildland fireline, a plastic nozzle splits at the threads or jams. This brass fog nozzle threads onto any NPSH fire hose in 1" or 1-1/2" and adjusts from straight stream to fog with a twist. The brass nozzle with shutoff controls flows without a separate valve.

Key Features
Solid Brass Construction
This brass fog nozzle resists corrosion from standing water, chemical exposure, and salt air better than chrome-plated or painted alternatives. The precision-machined body holds its threads and twist action after years on a hose rack or reel.
Three Positions: Stream, Fog, Shutoff
Twist the nozzle body to move between a focused straight stream, a wide fog pattern, and full shutoff. This brass combination fog nozzle gives the operator control over both spray pattern and flow from one fitting.
NPSH Female Thread Connection
The NPSH fire hose nozzle threads directly onto any male NPSH hose coupling, swivel adapter, or standpipe outlet. Wildland crews often thread a quick-connect forestry adapter into either size to run them on forestry hose lines.
Compact and Lightweight
This industrial fog nozzle weighs 2.00 lb in the 1-1/2" size and 2.25 lb in the 1", keeping the nozzle end manageable for one-hand operation. A rubber bumper guard on the intake end protects threads and equipment from impact.
UL/ULC Listed and FM Approved (1-1/2")
The 1-1/2" is a UL listed fire hose nozzle with ULC listing and FM approval, meeting procurement standards for fire departments, municipalities, and commercial insurers across North America. The 1" nozzle does not carry these listings.
Brass vs Plastic Fog Nozzles
Cleanflow stocks fog nozzles in both brass and thermoplastic. When choosing an NPSH fire hose nozzle, the material determines how long it lasts and where it can serve.
| Feature | Brass Fog Nozzle | Plastic (Thermoplastic) Fog Nozzle |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Solid brass | Glass-filled thermoplastic |
| Corrosion Resistance | High (saltwater, chemicals, UV) | Moderate (UV resistant, can crack over time) |
| Heat Tolerance | Higher melting point | Can soften under sustained heat |
| Weight | 2.00 to 2.25 lb | Lighter |
| Thread Durability | Holds threads indefinitely | Threads can strip with repeated use |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Certifications (1-1/2") | UL/ULC Listed, FM Approved | Varies by model |
A brass vs plastic fog nozzle decision depends on duty level. For permanent hose rack installations, industrial washdown stations, and wildland firelines where the nozzle takes heat and rough handling, brass pays for itself in service life. Plastic nozzles work well as lightweight field replacements where weight matters more than longevity. Either way, having an adjustable fire hose nozzle at the end of each line gives the operator control over pattern and flow.
Applications
- Hose rack and reel assemblies in commercial and industrial buildings where a fog nozzle for hose rack and reel stays connected year-round
- Industrial washdown and equipment cleaning: industrial fog nozzle for daily rinse-down on NPSH-threaded water lines
- Wildland firefighting crews running this fire hose fog nozzle on forestry lines with a quick-connect adapter threaded into the NPSH inlet
- Manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and refineries with fixed fire suppression hose connections
- Construction and temporary water supply where a corrosion resistant fire hose nozzle outlasts plastic on site

Frequently Asked Questions
What spray patterns does this brass fog nozzle produce?
A brass combination fog nozzle like the G97B adjusts between a focused straight stream, a wide fog pattern, and full shutoff. Twist the body to change patterns without disconnecting from the hose.
What thread type does this nozzle use?
Both sizes use Female Pipe (NPSH) threads, the standard thread for industrial and occupant fire hose systems. The 1-1/2 inch fog nozzle fits any male NPSH coupling, standpipe outlet, or hose assembly with NPSH swivel fittings.
Is the 1" nozzle UL listed?
The 1" brass nozzle is not UL or ULC listed. Only the 1-1/2" carries UL/ULC listings and FM approval. Buyers requiring a certified fire hose fog nozzle for code compliance should specify the 1-1/2" G97B-150.
Does the brass nozzle with shutoff fully stop water flow?
The brass nozzle with shutoff has a full-close position that stops flow completely. It controls flow at the nozzle end during pattern changes or when the operator needs to pause. It is not a fire-rated shutoff valve.
Can I use this brass fog nozzle on wildland forestry hose?
Both sizes connect to wildland forestry hose through a quick-connect forestry adapter at the NPSH inlet. The brass body handles heat and rough handling on a fireline better than thermoplastic alternatives.
