Fire hose nozzles control water at the delivery end of a hose. Threaded plastic and rubber-protected brass nozzles offer jet and spray patterns, while chrome plated brass ball valve nozzles use a lever to control a fixed jet. Hose-tail models connect directly inside the hose; female-threaded models connect to a male-threaded hose fitting.
The red polycarbonate FQN hose-reel nozzle has a 3/4" BSP female connection. Small Powerjet has a 1" BSP female connection and large Powerjet has a 1 1/2" BSP female connection. These threaded plastic designs provide jet, cone spray and fog patterns. Their 90psi pressure rating is a component limit, rather than a measure of flow or throw.
The rubber-protected GW239 brass nozzle has a 3/4" BSP female connection and twists to change the water pattern from a stream to a broad spray. Its pressure rating is 100psi. The BJS brass jet/spray nozzles have a rubber bumper, twist adjustment and a hose tail for either 3/4" or 1" hose. Their pressure rating is 150psi.
The chrome plated brass BVN20 and BVN25 nozzles have a ball valve with a stainless steel lever handle. The lever opens or closes the water passage, while the outlet forms a fixed jet. Both are rated to a maximum water pressure of 1600kPa and have a PTFE seal and EPDM O-ring. BVN20 suits 3/4" hose and BVN25 suits 1" hose.
The nylon fog nozzles have integral hose tails for 3/4" or 1" hose. The hose fits over the tail and is secured with a hose clamp. These are separate from the female-threaded Powerjet nozzles.
Thread sizes and hose-bore sizes describe different connections. A female-threaded nozzle screws onto a male-threaded fitting; a hose tail fits inside the hose. Flow and spray reach depend on water pressure at the nozzle and the resistance of the hose supplying it.

These FI x FI flexi hoses have G 1/2" female swivel connections, a PEX inner core and 304 stainless steel braided outer construction. They are Watermarked approved, rated to 1000kPa working pressure and suitable for installations up to 80°C maximum working temperature.
Apex BigBoy float valves control tank and reservoir filling using suspended operating weights. Set a single shut-off level or allow the tank to draw down before the next refill. A larger gap between opening and closing levels can help reduce frequent pump starts. The range includes 32mm, 40mm and 50mm models.
The diaphragm valve operates from 15kPa to 1200kPa. Leave the suspended controls free to move through the selected water levels. Choose the connection size for the installation and check the performance information against the available supply.

Apex plastic long-tail float valves keep tanks and troughs topped up through an extended threaded inlet. The range has 20mm and 25mm inlet connections, with standard or shorter float levers. The short-arm versions provide an option where float-arm clearance is limited.
The long tail is the extended threaded inlet that passes through the tank wall. The arm is the lever connecting the valve to the float; the short-arm version needs less space inside the tank.
Allow room for the float and arm to move through their full opening and closing travel. Check the drawing for the selected tail and arm before fitting.
Float sold separately. The recommended float is a 150mm Apex ball float in black or orange.
Apex Reservoir float valves fill reservoirs and large header tanks to a set water level. They combine a serviceable acetal sleeve valve with an adjustable, corrosion-resistant DZR brass lever. Inlet sizes are 32mm, 40mm and 50mm.
Mount the inlet horizontally and support it firmly. Check the supply pressure against the rating for the recommended float arrangement.
Floats sold separately. The two-float setup requires two 150mm Apex ball floats in black or orange and a twin-float connector, also sold separately.
Apex Reservoir Dual Level valves let a tank draw down before refilling, with separate start and stop levels. The dual-arm mechanism provides an adjustable 65-270mm gap between those levels. Each valve includes two 150mm orange floats. The range includes 32mm, 40mm and 50mm inlet sizes.
The larger refill cycle allows more stored water to be used between refills. Leave clearance for both arms and floats to move freely. The working pressure is 0-700kPa.

Franklin FPS 1A TriSeal multistage bore pumps supply bore water with minimal sand or sediment for domestic water supply, irrigation and pressure boosting. At 18L/min, these models deliver approximately 55-205m head, depending on model. Two-wire, three-wire with starter and three-phase packages combine a TriSeal pump with a Franklin 4" motor.
Actual flow depends on pumping lift, required outlet pressure and pipe resistance. Use the 50Hz performance curve to assess expected flow for the installation. The recommended pump operating range is 4-26L/min, with best efficiency at 11-24L/min.
The outlet is 32mm (1 1/4") BSPP female thread. A removable spring-loaded non-return valve reduces return flow when the pump stops. The pump is intended for bore water with minimal sand or sediment; the TriSeal design helps resist sand wear.
230V single phase, two wire. The BIAC starting switch is built into the motor. Motor overload protection stops the motor if it overheats or overloads. Two supply conductors plus protective earth.
230V single phase, three wire. Matching capacitor starter/control box included. The motor has built-in overload protection. Three motor conductors plus protective earth.
400V three phase. Requires a motor starter and motor-overload protection matched to the supplied motor nameplate. This protection cuts power if the motor overloads.
For automatic operation, connect suitable tank-level or pressure controls. Where the bore water level could fall below the pump, use dry-running protection to stop it before it draws in air. Extend the motor lead with correctly sized submersible cable and a waterproof cable joint for the installation depth.
Install vertically with the motor below the pump and allow clearance around the 99.1mm maximum diameter. Maximum motor submergence is 150m below the water surface. Keep the assembly at least 1.5m above the bore bottom and position it so water passes the motor before entering the pump. Support it with suitable pipework and a safety cable; never lift or suspend it by the electrical cable.
Standard motor application allows water up to 30°C. Higher temperatures require manufacturer assessment of motor loading and cooling. Water must flow around the outside of the motor to remove heat. Fit a flow sleeve where the installation cannot provide the cooling flow required by the motor nameplate, including tank and open-water installations. Keep the complete pump and motor submerged; do not run dry.
TriSeal independently floating impellers and seals at each impeller hub and eye reduce internal recirculation and resist wear from sand. The discharge and outer casing are AISI 304 stainless steel; the impellers are thermoplastic acetal and the diffusers are modified PPO. A ceramic sleeve and rubber bearing protect the shaft in abrasive water.
Three-year manufacturer warranty when the TriSeal pump is coupled to a new Franklin 4-inch motor, subject to Franklin Australia warranty terms, installation-period conditions and applicable consumer rights.

Franklin FPS 12A High Capacity multistage bore pumps supply water for irrigation, tank filling and domestic or commercial water systems. At 200L/min, these models deliver 28-91m head, depending on model. These figures exclude check-valve losses. Packages combine a High Capacity pump with a Franklin 4-inch motor.
Flow decreases as head increases. The stated flow and head describe the same performance point. Maximum head is the zero-flow value. The performance curve describes the pump end without check-valve losses. Actual delivery depends on pumping lift, required outlet pressure, check-valve losses and pipe resistance. Use the 50Hz performance chart to assess expected flow for the installation. The pump operating range is approximately 60-240L/min, with best efficiency at approximately 110-210L/min.
The outlet is 50mm (2") BSP female thread. An integrated stainless-steel wafer-style non-return valve reduces return flow when the pump stops. These pumps are for bore water with minimal sand or sediment.
230V single phase, three wire. Matching capacitor starter/control box included. The motor has built-in overload protection. Three motor conductors plus protective earth.
400V three phase. Requires a motor starter and motor-overload protection matched to the supplied motor nameplate. This protection cuts power if the motor overloads.
For automatic operation, connect suitable tank-level or pressure controls. Where the bore water level could fall below the pump, use dry-running protection to stop it before it draws in air. Extend the motor lead with correctly sized submersible cable and a waterproof joint for the installation depth.
Install vertically with the motor below the pump, allowing clearance for the pump, cable and pipe connections. Maximum motor submergence is 150m below the water surface. Keep the assembly at least 1.5m above the bore bottom and position it so water passes the motor before entering the pump. Support it with suitable pipework and a safety cable; never lift or suspend it by the electrical cable.
Standard motor application allows water up to 30°C. Higher temperatures require manufacturer assessment of motor loading and cooling. Water must flow around the outside of the motor to remove heat. Fit a flow sleeve where the installation cannot provide the cooling flow required by the motor nameplate, including tank and open-water installations. Keep the complete pump and motor submerged; do not run dry. FPS-12A-16, FPS-12A-23 and FPS-12A-30 require water to pass the motor at least 0.0762m/s (7.62cm/s) for cooling.
The discharge head, outer casing, motor bracket and shaft are stainless steel. Thermoplastic impellers and diffuser assemblies provide the hydraulic stages. Impeller eye and hub seals reduce internal recirculation; a ceramic sleeve and rubber bearing help resist sand wear.

Franklin Bore Pump Installation & Operation
Franklin 4-inch Motor Installation & Operation
Franklin Motor Technical Guide (Australia & NZ)
Franklin FPS 16A High Capacity multistage bore pumps supply water for irrigation, tank filling and domestic or commercial water systems. At 240L/min, these models deliver 17-74m head, depending on model, before check-valve losses. Packages combine a High Capacity pump with a Franklin 4-inch motor.
The stated flow and head describe the same performance point. The nominal flow class is 270L/min; actual delivery depends on pumping lift, required outlet pressure, check-valve losses and pipe resistance. Use the 50Hz performance chart to assess expected flow for the installation. The pump operating range is approximately 95-350L/min, with best efficiency at approximately 160-325L/min.
The outlet is 50mm (2") BSP female thread. An integrated stainless-steel wafer-style non-return valve reduces return flow when the pump stops. These pumps are for bore water with minimal sand or sediment.
230V single phase, two wire. The starting switch is built into the motor. Motor overload protection stops the motor if it overheats or overloads. Two supply conductors plus protective earth.
230V single phase, three wire. Matching capacitor starter/control box included. The motor has built-in overload protection. Three motor conductors plus protective earth.
400V three phase. Requires a motor starter and motor-overload protection matched to the supplied motor nameplate. This protection cuts power if the motor overloads.
For automatic operation, connect suitable tank-level or pressure controls. Where the bore water level could fall below the pump inlet, use dry-running protection to stop it before it draws in air. Extend the motor lead with correctly sized submersible cable and a waterproof joint for the installation depth.
Install vertically with the motor below the pump, allowing clearance for the pump, cable and pipe connections. Maximum motor submergence is 150m below the water surface. Keep the assembly at least 1.5m above the bore bottom and position it so water passes the motor before entering the pump. Support it with suitable pipework and a safety cable; never lift or suspend it by the electrical cable.
Standard motor application allows water up to 30°C. Higher temperatures require manufacturer assessment of motor loading and cooling. Water must flow around the outside of the motor to remove heat. Fit a flow sleeve where cooling flow is inadequate and in tank or open-water installations. Keep the complete pump and motor submerged; do not run dry. FPS-16A-13, FPS-16A-21 and FPS-16A-25 require water to pass the motor at least 0.0762m/s (7.62cm/s) for cooling.
The discharge head, outer casing, motor bracket and shaft are stainless steel. Thermoplastic impellers and diffuser assemblies provide the hydraulic stages. Impeller eye and hub seals reduce internal recirculation; a ceramic sleeve and rubber bearing help resist sand wear.
