1. A device that allows fire hose couplings to be safely in- Adaptor
terconnected with coupling of different sizes, threads,
or mating surfacing.
2. A nozzle that allows the operator to select a desired Adjustable-gallonage fog
flow from several settings. nozzle
3. Hose designed to be used by trained FF's and fire Attack hose
brigade members to combat fires beyond the incipient
stage.
4. A nozzle that can deliver a wide range of water stream Automatic-adjusting fog
flows. nozzle
5. Valves used on nozzles, gated wyes, and engine dis- Ball valves
charge gates. They consist of a ball with a hole in the
middle of the ball
6. A Non-collapsible hose used under positive pressure Booster hose
having an elastomeric or thermoplastic tube, a braid-
ed or spiraled reinforcement, and an outer protective
cover
7. A nozzle with a tip that can be separated from the Breakaway type nozzle
shut-off valve
8. A nozzle that can be placed in confined spaces such Bresnan distributor nozzle
as cellars or basements. The nozzle spins, spreading
water over a large area
9. Valves that are found on the large pump intake con- Butterfly valves
nections where the suction hose connects to the suc-
tion side of the fire pump

10. A nozzle used to fight fires in cellars or basement Cellar nozzle
and other inaccessible places. Device works by spread-
ing water in a wide pattern as the nozzle is lowered
through a hole into the ____.
11. A mechanical device installed within a piping system Clapper mechanism
that allows water to flow in only one direction
12. A device that is permanently mounted on and operat- Deck gun
ed from a vehicle and equipped with a piping system
that delivers water to the device
13. A hose adaptor that is used to join two male hose Double-female adaptor
couplings
14. A hose constructed with two layers of woven fibers Double-jacket hose
15. A hose adaptor that is used to join two female hose Double-male adaptor
couplings
16. A nozzle mounted on the end of an aerial device that Elevated master stream
is capable of delivering large amounts of water into a appliance
fire or exposed building from an elevated position
17. Streams of water or extinguishing agents Fire streams
18. A nozzle that delivers a set number of gallons per min Fixed-gallonage fog nozzle
as per the nozzle's design, no matter what pressure is
applied to the nozzle
19. A nozzle that is placed at the end of a fire hose and Fog-stream nozzle
can be adjusted to produce a straight stream or to
separate the water into droplets to produce a variety
of fog streams
