What's wrong

Akron Brass Company (Akron Brass) is recalling certain Ultrajet Style 1820 fire hose nozzles. These nozzles may fracture at the connection point between the nozzle body and the shutoff body, potentially causing the water flow pattern to change or the firefighter to lose control of the hose.

Consequence

If the water pattern changes or the firefighter loses control of the hose, the fire fighting efforts may be hindered, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Akron Brass will notify owners, instructing them to return the affected nozzles to be retrofitted with a new component and O-rings or replace the old nozzle a new nozzle, free of charge. The recall began on December 29, 2017. Owners may contact Akron Brass Company customer service at 1-800-228-1161 or by email at [email protected].
