Four settings to adapt hydraulic response to the situation
The TurboJet 1733 offers four flow settings: 475, 550, 750 and 950 L/min. This range makes it possible to quickly adjust the quantity of water used according to the context of intervention, the firefighter, the available supply or the nature of the fire. The operational advantage is that the same handheld nozzle can be used to cover several different needs, without having to change equipment.
In concrete terms, this modularity makes it possible to :
- rapidly reduce or increase flow, depending on the phase of intervention;
- adapt response to available hydraulic potential;
- greater flexibility on sites with different configurations;
- use the same handheld nozzle for control, protection or more sustained attack.
Straight jet, wide spread jet: a response adapted to several intervention phases
The quality of a handheld nozzle spray does not depend solely on its flow rate. The TurboJet 1733 allows you to switch from a straight jet to a wide diffused jet of up to 120°. In straight jet mode, it is ideal for long-distance applications, with an effective reach of 40 meters. In wide diffused spray, it meets other tactical needs, such as protection, cooling or progression.
Depending on the situation, this versatility is useful for :
- attacking a focus with a search for effective range ;
- cooling volumes, structures or hot spots;
- protecting responders from thermal radiation;
- creating a water screen;
- progress in degraded environments.
A design made to last in fire department
The handheld nozzle is easy to handle thanks to its pistol grip and handle control. Flow rate and spray pattern are adjusted by means of rotating elements, for direct, robust operation. The data sheet also gives a length of 292 mm and a weight of 3.1 kg, making the product's positioning even clearer.
Numbers aside, the TurboJet 1733 is in keeping with the AKRON BRASS philosophy:
- a design conceived for sustained professional use ;
- maneuverability adapted to the constraints of the field;
- repeatability of settings;
- credibility reinforced by conformity and certification.
The handheld nozzle is certified to EN 15182 type 3, is included in the scope of the FM Approvals certificate supplied, and benefits from AKRON's 10-year warranty program applicable to handheld nozzles TurboJet.

FAQ
What's the difference between a multi-flow handheld nozzle and a variable-flow handheld nozzle?
A multi-flow handheld nozzle offers several predefined flow positions, whereas a variable-flow handheld nozzle generally enables more continuous adjustment. The former favors simplicity, speed and repeatability in the field.
Is this handheld nozzle suitable for use in industrial environments?
Yes, its versatility, different flow settings, compliance and certification make it a relevant solution for many industrial contexts where needs can change rapidly.
Why are certification and conformity important for this type of equipment?
They provide objective benchmarks for evaluating equipment intended for demanding use. For a public or industrial purchaser, they contribute to the technical credibility of the product and the security of choice.
