Flow testing is a critical part of fire protection system maintenance—and in the field, reliability and efficiency matter just as much as accuracy. The Pitotless Nozzle® was developed to address the real-world frustrations technicians face when using traditional pitot-based measurement methods. It isn’t just an alternative—it’s a purpose-built solution for professionals who want to test smarter.
Built for Real-World Testing Conditions
Flow testing environments are rarely perfect—debris like sand, rust, and other particulates are common and can compromise sensitive components in traditional pitot-based systems. The Pitotless Nozzle® is purpose-built to handle these challenges. By eliminating the pitot tube and using internal pressure to measure flow, it allows water and debris to pass through without interference. Its rugged aluminum construction and patented internal design ensure accurate, consistent performance even in harsh conditions—helping teams test efficiently without unnecessary maintenance or interruptions.
Consistent Results, Minimal Interference
Accurate readings are essential during flow testing—especially when conditions in the field are less than ideal. The Pitotless Nozzle® delivers stable, repeatable gauge performance by generating a laminar flow profile, even when mounted directly to a hydrant or test header. Its pressure-based measurement approach minimizes turbulence and eliminates needle bounce, allowing technicians to focus on collecting data with confidence rather than adjusting for unstable readings.
Versatile, Durable, and Field-Tested
Whether you’re performing pump testing, hydrant flow verification, or unidirectional flushing, the Pitotless Nozzle® adapts to the task. It pairs seamlessly with the Little Hose Monster™ or can be mounted directly to a 2.5″ outlet. With four available sizes—1″, 1⅛”, 1¾”, and 2″—you can match the nozzle to your flow rate needs with confidence. Color-coded and built from corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum, it’s ready for repeated use in the most demanding testing environments.
The true value of the Pitotless Nozzle® isn’t just in how it measures flow—it’s in how it improves your workflow. By eliminating the need for pitot maintenance and reducing the risk of test disruption, it helps you complete jobs faster and more efficiently. It’s a tool designed with the field in mind—because in fire protection testing, every detail counts.
