The water curtain with a 1" female GFR coupling is designed to create a protective water curtain during a fire response, drill, or temporary safety measure. It creates a water barrier between an exposed area and a thermal hazard, while remaining easy to deploy on a compatible fire hose line.
This version comes pre-assembled with a BSP connector and a 1" female GFR aluminum coupling. It differs from the threaded-only version, which features only a 1" BSP female thread and must be paired with a suitable coupling depending on the installation.
Two models available depending on the desired flow rate
The product is available in two models to adapt the water curtain to operational needs:
- 60 L/min water curtain, for configurations requiring a moderate flow rate and limited water consumption;
- 115 L/min water curtain, for applications requiring more sustained protection or a wider water curtain.
The choice of model depends on the area to be protected, the available flow rate, the supply pressure, and the intended purpose: localized protection, limiting heat radiation, creating a water screen, or supporting firefighting operations.
Assembled connection with BSP connector and 1" female GFR fitting
The water curtain is equipped with a BSP connector that ensures a proper fit between the curtain’s threaded body and the 1" female GFR coupling. This aluminum end coupling allows connection to a GFR-compatible line.
This configuration is suitable when the user wants a product that is ready to connect at their facility, without having to add the GFR coupling separately. However, it is still necessary to verify compatibility with the hoses, couplings, and standards already in use on site.

FAQ – 60 or 115 L/min Water Curtain with 1" Female GFR Connection
What is the difference between the 60 L/min model and the 115 L/min model?
The 60 L/min model is suitable for spot protection needs with lower water consumption. The 115 L/min model offers a higher flow rate for situations requiring a more sustained water barrier.
Does this version come with the GFR fitting?
Yes. This version comes pre-assembled with a BSP connector and a 1" female GFR aluminum fitting. It is therefore different from the threaded-only version, which does not include the end fitting.
How do I choose the right model?
The choice depends on the available flow rate, the area to be protected, and the desired level of protection. For localized protection, the 60 L/min model may be sufficient. For a more extensive water barrier, the 115 L/min model is more suitable.
