Why are some Forede fire nozzles made of brass?
Some Forede fire nozzles, like the QLD6.0/6III series, are made of brass. Brass has excellent corrosion - resistance properties, especially in marine and chemical - rich environments. In marine applications, the nozzle is constantly exposed to seawater, and brass can withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater better than some other materials. In chemical - related fires, brass may be less reactive to certain chemicals, ensuring the nozzle's integrity and performance. Additionally, brass has good thermal conductivity, which can help in dissipating heat during firefighting operations, contributing to the overall durability of the nozzle.
