What happens when the handle of an all-purpose nozzle is pushed into the forward position?

🔍 Key Concepts

• All-purpose fire nozzle positions (shutoff, straight stream, fog) • Difference between straight stream and fog patterns in firefighting • Typical motion of the control handle for on/off vs pattern selection

💭 Think About

• Think about what firefighters normally do with the handle when they want to completely stop the flow of water—do they push it forward or pull it back? • Consider which nozzle pattern (straight stream, high-velocity fog, low-velocity fog) is usually used for maximum reach and impact on a distant target. • Visualize the handle’s movement: is the forward position more likely to be the fully open, partially open, or shut position?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which handle position is associated with full shutoff on an all-purpose nozzle. • Confirm which pattern—straight stream, high-velocity fog, or low-velocity fog—is normally used for maximum range and penetration. • Check whether the forward-most position is typically the off position or the full-flow position on this style of nozzle.
