Irrigation nozzles are provided that irrigate a full circle coverage area with different maximum throw radiuses. The nozzle may include two bodies, one nested within the other, that acting together form the full circle coverage area. The two bodies collectively define an annular exit orifice with one of the bodies defining the inner radius and the other body defining the outer radius. A flow restrictable inlet may be used to adjust flow through the nozzle and to adjust the maximum throw radius. The nozzle may also include a flow reduction valve to reduce the throw radius from a maximum distance and may be adjusted by actuation of an outer wall of the nozzle. A deflector for use with an irrigation nozzle is also provided.

A sanitary outlet insert which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, comprising a flow limiter that has an adjusting element which regulates or limits the flow area in cooperation with a counter element. The flow area of the flow limiter can be preselected or varied by an axial change of the relative position of the adjusting element and the counter element; in that additionally a handle is provided on the outlet end face of the outlet insert, said handle being designed as a pushbutton; and in that an adjusting movement on the handle can be converted into a relative axial movement of the adjusting element and the counter element by means of a pushbutton mechanism.

A nozzle tip adapter has a suction duct, a supply duct, and a base body with a device end and a substrate end. The base body has a nozzle tip recess at its substrate end for receiving a nozzle tip and a projecting portion extending into the nozzle tip recess, wherein the suction duct extends through the projecting portion and the supply duct opens into the nozzle tip recess, wherein the suction duct is being at least partially surrounded by the supply duct.

Further, a nozzle assembly and a nozzle are shown.

A nozzle structure with forward and reverse water sealing, comprising a nozzle head, a cover, and a plurality of sealing rings. The two ends of the nozzle head are the water-filling end and the spraying end respectively, a drainage aperture is pierced on the side of the spraying end, a guide cone is provided at the upper end, and a stopper is installed convexly on the outer periphery at the end portion of spraying end. The cover is sleeved on the nozzle head, which can rotate forwardly and reversely. The sealing rings are set on the nozzle head and the cover respectively. When the cover is rotated to the forward or reverse end, both ends of the cover can be sealed by the sealing rings to seal off the water.

Wildfire water-supply hose having a QD nozzle with an outer sleeve adapted to engage a firefighter's backpack water bladder's QD connector. The combination male QD nozzle/female QD system permits rapid and easier bottom-up filling of the bladders without dismounting the tank from the firefighter's back, by inserting the QD nozzle into the female QD fitting on the bottom of the backpack bladder. The QD nozzle tip is long enough to open the internal spring-biased shut-off valve in the female QD connector when inserted. Upon opening the supply line valve, water flows into the backpack bladder until full. The supply valve is closed and the QD nozzle is withdrawn from the bladder female QD connector. Rotation of the QD nozzle outer sleeve controls water flow from stream, to spray to mist. The QD nozzle is also used with other types of nozzles on dual fittings having 3-way valves, e.g., fog nozzles.

A modular spray assembly for a working machine includes a base assembly that is attached to the frame of the working machine. The base assembly includes a working fluid conduit having an open end and a closed end, and a plurality of nozzle assemblies that are attached to and are in fluid communication with the working fluid conduit. A modular component includes a nozzle assembly, a first end, and a second end. The second end of the modular component is adapted to be removably attached to the open end of the working fluid conduit so as to be in fluid communication with the working fluid conduit. The modular spray assembly also includes an open end component that is adapted to be removably and alternatively attached to the open end of the working fluid conduit or to the first end of the modular component. The open end component includes a working fluid supply pipe that is in fluid communication with the working fluid storage tank of the working machine.

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.
