The Carrand metal fire hose nozzle is enclosed in rubber for durability and a lifetime of high performance. You may have seen similar nozzles, but none with the convenience of a quick shut-off valve. Now you can set the spray pattern for the job at hand, shut off the valve, get yourself a cold drink, come back to your project, turn on the valve and the nozzle is set just the way you left it. This nozzle can product a jet spray of up to 40 feet, and is perfect for home and auto use.
