Schlauchrohre

Schlauchrohre are a type of fire hose nozzle that features a flexible, often rubberized or synthetic, outer casing. Unlike rigid metal nozzles, Schlauchrohre offer greater maneuverability and can bend or conform to various angles. This flexibility makes them particularly useful in confined spaces or when navigating complex environments where a standard rigid nozzle might be difficult to position. The inner workings typically consist of a valve mechanism to control water flow and a discharge opening, similar to conventional nozzles. The outer sleeve also provides some degree of insulation and impact protection. They are commonly employed in firefighting, industrial cleaning, and other applications where controlled fluid delivery is required in challenging situations. The design allows for easier handling and reduces the risk of damage to the nozzle itself or surrounding structures compared to rigid alternatives. Their development aims to enhance the versatility and safety of hose operations.
