What are the best fire nozzles for professional firefighting in the UK?

The best fire nozzles for professional firefighting in the UK are those designed for reliability, tactical flexibility, long-term durability and compliance with strict UK and European standards, including EN15182 and ISO 9001. 

Delta Fire’s Professional Series is recognised as the leading choice and is used by over 90% of UK Fire & Rescue Services, as well as high-risk sectors like marine, defence, petrochemicals, nuclear and industrial facilities. These nozzles deliver superior flow control, ergonomic handling, and robust durability, making them optimal for demanding urban, industrial, and emergency scenarios.

Why Nozzle Selection Is Critical

Choosing the correct fire nozzle has a profound impact on operational effectiveness, firefighter safety, water usage efficiency, and incident control. Nozzles dictate spray pattern, flow rate, and handling characteristics, controlling how quickly crews can cool compartments, suppress vapours, or achieve fast fire knockdown in high-risk environments. 

Delta Fire’s UK-engineered nozzles are designed to fill tactical gaps, giving incident commanders confidence in the tools on scene for both routine and exceptional incidents.

  • Effective nozzle selection improves gas cooling and compartment safety.
  • Modern ergonomic design reduces user fatigue, especially in sustained response.
  • Compliance with EN15182 and ISO 9001 standards ensures quality, traceability, and readiness for UK professional deployment.
  • Nozzles built under ISO 9001 procedures guarantee consistent performance and long-term reliability across all operational sectors.

Delta Fire Professional Series: Trusted Models

Attack 100 Pro – High-Pressure Hose-Reel 

Ideal for high-pressure hose reels and emergency rescue lines, the Attack 100 Pro is widely adopted across the UK and Europe. Its lightweight construction (approx. 1.5 kg) and ergonomic pistol grip allow easy use across a diverse workforce in demanding situations, including confined spaces and urban firefighting. 

Stainless steel spinning turbine teeth create a dense fog, essential for gas-cooling and flashover prevention. The unique valve profile reduces jet reaction forces for safer operation. Options for selectable and constant flow (from 20 to 230 LPM) allow flexibility for variable tactics. This nozzle is manufactured to ISO 9001, compliant with EN15182-4 and NFPA 1964, and offers a wide range of British and international inlet fittings. It’s the first choice among urban fire services, defence sectors, and high-risk sites.​

Attack 500 Pro – Versatile Mainline Performance

For mainline hoses in structural, marine, and industrial firefighting, the Attack 500 Pro stands out for performance up to 500 LPM while maintaining smooth handling at lower operating pressures (typically 3-8 bar). Its constant and selectable flow options (70-500 LPM) support a wide range of incident types, from compartment cooling to external attack and foam operations. 

Stainless steel components guarantee durability and corrosion resistance. EN15182-2 Type 2 & 3 and MED certifications mean it’s approved for fire and rescue, maritime, petrochemical and offshore sectors. Quick-attach foam accessories add value at flammable liquid incidents. The nozzle’s 10-year manufacturer’s warranty underlines its robustness. It’s a standard in industrial, marine, nuclear, and aviation settings, as well as for professional fire services and emergency planners.​

Attack 750 Pro & HR Pro – High-Flow and High-Rise Specialists

Where high-volume delivery (up to 750 LPM) is required, for tall buildings, major industrial fires, or large area coverage, the Attack 750 Pro and its High-Rise (HR) variant provide reliable water application. Both feature PTFE bearings for smooth, low-friction operation and robust hard anodised aluminium/stainless build for longevity. 

The HR Pro is specially engineered for high-rise emergencies, compensating for expected pressure drops across elevated floors and long hose runs. These models are compatible with Delta’s foam tube accessories and a variety of international couplings, providing tactical flexibility. Their computer-designed waterways and turbine mechanisms maintain effective spray patterns even at full flow.​

Key Features of Leading Fire Nozzles

  • Stainless steel components for corrosion resistance and longevity.
  • Ergonomic pistol grip and on/off control designed for use with gloved hands and sustained operations.
  • Flow pattern versatility: jet, spray, fog, and foam, supporting all front-line firefighting and industrial tactics.
  • Broad compatibility: compatible with all UK & International inlet fittings allowing for ease of connection with existing hose lines.
  • Permanent laser-etched markings for safety and easy identification (asset tracking).​

Sector Usage

Delta Fire professional nozzles are trusted across:

  • Fire & rescue services (urban, rural, industrial)
  • Oil & gas, petrochemical plants, aviation and marine
  • Waste/recycling, mining, nuclear, defence and transport infrastructure

Their reliability and sector-tested safety features make them the preferred choice for critical infrastructure, frontline teams, and hazardous industrial sites.​

Foam Firefighting Integration

Delta Fire’s LX & MX Foam Tube system adds low-expansion foam capability to Attack 100, 500, and 750 Pro nozzles, increasing effectiveness against flammable liquid spills and for bund protection. The foam tubes are built from hard-anodised aluminium and use dual-clamp quick-release fittings, meaning rapid on-scene deployment and enhanced tactical value for multi-risk teams. These accessories further increase the operational flexibility of the Attack Series, supporting changing incident needs and UK regulations.​

Selecting the Right Nozzle

A single nozzle can’t meet all tactical needs, which is why UK professionals standardise around a “family” of models:

  • Hose-reel nozzles for fast initial response and high pressure hose lines.
  • Mainline attack nozzles with selectable/constant flows for interior and exterior tactics.
  • High-flow and high-rise attack models for challenging structures and major incidents.
  • Specialist/marine models for offshore platforms, harsh environments, and water-curtain protection.​

Delta Fire’s technical support team is available for application-specific advice, helping buyers match products to their operating conditions, which often ensures site compliance, reduces downtime, and expedites training for crews. Each nozzle comes with a robust manufacturer-backed warranty and ongoing UK-based service support throughout the life of the nozzle.
