The Davey 5165H uses a Honda GX200 petrol engine and a single impeller for clean-water firefighting, irrigation and rural water transfer. It delivers up to 468L/min at 1.5m total suction lift, with head near shut-off of approximately 60m. These figures describe separate operating conditions. Actual flow depends on suction lift, delivery height and pipe resistance. Refer to the performance curve to assess expected flow.

The 40mm (1 1/2") BSP male inlet connects to a reinforced suction hose. Four male BSP outlets, two 40mm (1 1/2") and two 25mm (1"), allow different discharge-hose connections. Use clean, non-abrasive water and fit a strainer at the suction inlet.

The single-stage design suits water transfer where a useful flow rate and delivery pressure are both needed. The 196cc Honda GX200 overhead-valve engine has recoil starting and low-oil protection. A roll frame supports the pump and engine during transport and operation.

Fill the pump casing with water before starting, even when using its self-priming function. Position the pump level and close to the water source, with airtight suction connections. Maintain water flow while running and do not operate against closed outlets.

For extended irrigation or tank-filling operation, reduce engine speed to around 3000rpm, approximately three-quarter throttle. Prolonged full-throttle operation can shorten engine life.

Marine-grade aluminium pump components have a polyester coating for corrosion resistance. A carbon/ceramic mechanical seal and floating impeller neckrings support efficient operation. The clamped impeller construction allows access for clearing a blockage.

The pump wet end has a three-year warranty for eligible purchases from 1 July 2025, extendable to five years when serviced between the start of Year 2 and end of Year 3 by a registered Davey Service Agent, with proof of service. The Honda GX engine has a separate three-year manufacturer warranty, subject to its conditions.

Steel fire hose reels store the delivery hose on a hand-wound drum, keeping it supported between uses. Fully fitted models include black fire reel hose and a nozzle. Reels with fittings are supplied assembled for fitting a hose and nozzle separately. Reinforced black PVC fire reel hose is supplied separately, per metre or in complete rolls.

The HRFF19 fitted reel carries 25m of 19mm (3/4") black PVC fire reel hose with a nozzle. The HRFF25 fitted reel carries 20m of 25mm (1") black PVC fire reel hose with a nozzle and a 25mm (1") side swivel tailpiece.

The HRSR40-18F reel suits 19mm (3/4") hose and the HRSR40-25F suits 25mm (1") hose. These with-fittings versions are supplied assembled, with no hose, hose clamps or nozzle. They allow the hose and nozzle to be fitted separately.

A hand crank turns the drum to rewind the hose. The powder coated steel construction and supporting stand keep the hose on a drum between uses. The stand has fixing feet for securing the reel.

Separate black PVC fire reel hose is supplied in 19mm and 25mm bore. The 19mm hose comes per metre or in 20m, 36m, 50m and 100m rolls. The 25mm hose comes per metre or in 20m, 30m and 100m rolls.

Black PVC fire reel hose provides flexible water delivery for fire hose reels and general water-transfer work. The reinforced hose is supplied in 19mm and 25mm bore, cut by the metre or as complete rolls. Select the bore and supplied length to suit the hose run. Steel reels store and rewind the hose, with fully fitted assemblies or reels with fittings for a separately fitted hose and nozzle.

The 19mm (3/4") hose is available per metre and in 20m, 36m, 50m and 100m rolls. The 25mm (1") hose is available per metre and in 20m, 30m and 100m rolls. Per-metre hose and full rolls are supplied as hose, without a reel or nozzle.

The reinforcement supports the hose wall under internal water pressure while retaining flexibility for winding onto a reel. The hose working pressure is 1000kPa (145psi). Flow at the nozzle depends on the hose bore, length and available inlet pressure.

The hose is intended for fire reel use and general water delivery. Its standard reference is AS/NZS1221. Hose bore is the internal diameter used when selecting hose tails and other hose-end connections.

Steel reel assemblies include HRFF19 with 25m of 19mm hose and a nozzle, and HRFF25 with 20m of 25mm hose and a nozzle. The HRSR40-18F and HRSR40-25F reels suit 19mm and 25mm hose respectively and are supplied assembled with fittings, without hose, hose clamps or nozzle. Hand cranks rewind the hose onto the powder coated steel drums.

Fire Hose Nozzle Plastic Hose Reel Nozzle 3/4 FI

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.

✓ Threaded plastic nozzles
FQN: 3/4" BSP female; red polycarbonate; jet, cone spray and fog; 90psi pressure rating
PJNSMALL: 1" BSP female; red polycarbonate; jet, cone spray and fog; 90psi pressure rating

The Davey 5155H uses a Honda GX160 petrol engine and a single impeller for clean-water firefighting, irrigation and rural water transfer. It delivers up to 431L/min at 1.5m total suction lift, with head near shut-off of approximately 60m. These figures describe separate operating conditions. Actual flow depends on suction lift, delivery height and pipe resistance. Refer to the performance curve to assess expected flow.

The 40mm (1 1/2") BSP male inlet connects to a reinforced suction hose. Four male BSP outlets, two 40mm (1 1/2") and two 25mm (1"), allow different discharge-hose connections. Use clean, non-abrasive water and fit a strainer at the suction inlet.

The single-stage design suits water transfer where a useful flow rate and delivery pressure are both needed. The 163cc Honda GX160 overhead-valve engine has recoil starting and low-oil protection. A roll frame supports the pump and engine during transport and operation.

Fill the pump casing with water before starting, even when using its self-priming function. Position the pump level and close to the water source, with airtight suction connections. Maintain water flow while running and do not operate against closed outlets.

For extended irrigation or tank-filling operation, reduce engine speed to around 3000rpm, approximately three-quarter throttle. Prolonged full-throttle operation can shorten engine life.

Marine-grade aluminium pump components have a polyester coating for corrosion resistance. A carbon/ceramic mechanical seal and floating impeller neckrings support efficient operation. The clamped impeller construction allows access for clearing a blockage.

The pump wet end has a three-year warranty for eligible purchases from 1 July 2025, extendable to five years when serviced between the start of Year 2 and end of Year 3 by a registered Davey Service Agent, with proof of service. The Honda GX engine has a separate three-year manufacturer warranty, subject to its conditions.
