A nozzle for use in dispensing a fluid, such as water or a foaming agent to extinguish a fire, comprises a longitudinal body that comprises a plurality of helical shaped cam paths. The cam paths allow the operator of the nozzle to adjust a flow setting for the nozzle by moving a flow adjustment mechanism that is operatively associated with the cam paths.

A full jet nozzle for use with a water cannon, the nozzle having a body that encloses a flow channel running along an axial direction, having an outlet opening provided at an axial end of the flow channel, which has an external circumference which encloses an outlet surface to form a flow cross-section. The flow cross-section has a substantially circular or annular base area. There is at least one radial cross-sectional extension of the outlet area is provided exclusively in an angular range of the outer circumference of a maximum of 180. The full jet nozzle also has at least one radial cross-sectional extension formed by a slot running with its longitudinal axis parallel to the axial direction, which opens perpendicular to the base area or has a recess running with its longitudinal axis parallel to the axial direction, which opens perpendicular to the base area.

A device for shaping a pressurized liquid stream, the device including: (a) a conduit, adapted for intake and transmission of a liquid stream; (b) a shaping piece configured to shape the liquid stream into a liquid shield, the liquid shield resulting from the liquid stream impacting on the shaping piece. In some embodiments, the device further includes: (c) a lateral displacement mechanism adapted to adjust a distance between the conduit and the shaping piece.

A helipad fire suppression system includes a helipad having an outer boundary that defines an impervious deck area for at least one of landing or storing one or more helicopters, with at least a portion of the impervious deck area being designated a fire suppression target area. The system includes a nozzle assembly having a spray-type nozzle for spraying a fire suppression fluid in a radial pattern. The nozzle assembly can include a nozzle enclosure for enclosing the spray-type nozzle and can be configured for installation in a surface made of an impervious material. The nozzle assembly is disposed in an interior portion of the impervious deck area so as to provide the fire suppression fluid to the fire suppression target area.
