IDEX Fire & Safety - SAM Smart Nozzle With NP2 Technology

Simpler, Faster, Safer Waterflow

Powered by Nozzle-to-Pump technology, the SAM Smart Nozzle integrates with SAM and SAM BOOST, and enables nozzle operators to manage their own waterflow:

SIMPLER SAM and BOOST manage pressure at the pump and communicate tank data to the nozzle, reducing the need for constant communication over the radio.
FASTER As soon as the truck is put into pump gear, SAM goes to work. Nozzle operators can charge their own line right away and get water on the fire quickly.
SAFER With constant pressure maintained at the pump and less kickback at the nozzle, SAM reduces common injuries on the fireground.

Get one step ahead of the flame

On traditional pumps, the pump operator manages the pump and line pressures, balancing for friction loss, head loss and hose kinks. Meanwhile, the nozzle operator waits for waterflow as the fire grows every few seconds.

When seconds matter, precious time is wasted making adjustments.

With the SAM Smart Nozzle paired with SAM or BOOST, there’s less pressure on the pump operator to manage the pump and more data and control in-hand for the nozzle operator.

The only thing faster than the fire will be you.

Unleash your crew with waterflow control in hand

Empower your crew to act faster and respond to evolving fireground conditions with far more agility and confidence.

The SAM Smart Nozzle, when integrated with the SAM system, revolutionizes how fire crews approach their operations. Here’s how it works on the fireground:

Constant communication loop: information loops from the pump to the nozzle and back, keeping everyone informed without tying up precious radio lines.

SAM monitors and manages the flow: for each discharge, the pump operator can monitor valve pressure, rated and actual nozzle pressure, hose/friction loss, and more. Pressures can be adjusted automatically or manually at the valve.

Vital tank data in hand: the nozzle operator can monitor tank level and status from the smart control console on the nozzle.

Charge on-demand: the nozzle operator can charge their own line right from the nozzle.

Lead the charge in transforming waterflow

The work of keeping our communities safe is changing rapidly: from population and economic shifts to new construction and automotive technologies, to hiring and retention challenges that pose new threats to manpower. Fire departments must evolve to meet these new demands.

Take the first step with safe, intelligent, efficient waterflow.

Build future-forward trucks for the next generation

The fire trucks we build today will serve fire crews well into the future. Consider that the fire truck ordered in 2025 will potentially retire in 2040, meaning the firefighters that train on this generation of trucks will range from Gen Z to Gen Alpha, both highly tech-savvy generations.

Improve your crew’s safety on the fireground

One in five injuries on the fireground are related to handling charged hose lines and nearly one quarter of fireground injuries result in lost work time. Protect your crew on the hose line with a system that seamlessly manages the pressure and reduces impact at the end of the line.

Unleash the power of your attack crew

SAM is easy to learn and operate, which enhances your attack crew’s efficiency in two major ways:

Equalize the skill of your crew: for rural and volunteer departments, SAM gives you a bonus crew member on every call. Train new recruits quickly and trust the pump operations to SAM while your crew manages other tasks, to get water on the fire faster.

Reduce stress on the fireground: for busy departments, SAM takes the pressure off your pump operator. On back-to-back calls, the pump operator spends less time navigating gauges and friction loss math, and more time supporting the crew, reducing the overall stress of the team.
