Brian Brush discusses bringing efficiency and accuracy to your engine mounted master stream by the simple addition of a gate valve.
Great nozzle handling technique comes down to managing nozzle reaction through contact points, friction, and grounding of energy.
A MUST WATCH especially if you are running nozzles with screens on the inlets
While stream shapers are the norm for master stream nozzles to ensure adequate reach and penetration, in this video Brian Brush shows us the effects they have on your handline stream.
