MagneGrip, the only 100% sealed magnetic system meeting the NFPA 1500 standard for diesel exhaust removal, is introducing its latest product innovation at the FDIC International Conference Expo Indianapolis. It’s called the PRO Nozzle, and its new features make it both ergonomic and economical.

The key to the new nozzle design is MagneGrip’s patent-pending flex-magnet technology. With this advanced technology, the PRO Nozzle easily connects to a fire engine’s tailpipe from any angle, allowing firefighters to attach it seamlessly from a standing position.

Other new features include:

• Pull-Down Design – The PRO pull-down design provides a quick and easy connection regardless of tailpipe height and will never meet the floor.

• Space Saving – The PRO 90° transition elbow keeps the hose close to the fire engine, leaving more room for personnel to maneuver around and between vehicles.

• Max Ground Clearance – The PRO offers the smallest standard tailpipe adapter in the industry for greater ground clearance. The PRO is compatible with 4”, 5”, and 6” diameter hoses.

• Durable – The PRO’s cast aluminum transition elbow dissipates heat faster and does not rust. A stainless steel heat shield and air flow through the magnet assembly separate and protect the magnets from heat and particulate, extending magnet life.

MagneGrip first demonstrated its new PRO Nozzle at FDIC International on April 25-30, 2022 in Indianapolis.

Exposure to home fires puts responders at risk from fire, collapse and health hazards. Each new home built without home fire sprinklers makes the community less safe for all.

With HFSC’s new virtual reality video you can help decision makers, stakeholders, and others in your community understand what you know all too well: today’s home fires are fast and deadly. 

With user-controlled 360-degree full-room views, they’ll experience actual house fires in virtual reality, feeling as if they are in the rooms. They’ll see flashover in the unsprinklered room in real time and watch a sprinkler automatically control the blaze in another. 

This new resource lets you share your knowledge with convincing evidence of the need to protect new housing stock with sprinklers. It can be watched with 3D glasses/headset for an immersive experience or in 2D on HFSC’s website.
