HEN TURBO™ 1.5 Back Pressure Increaser – 1.5" NH
![]()
The HEN TURBO™ 1.5 is a hoseline back-pressure increaser designed to improve the handling and performance of 1.75" firefighting handlines. Installed in the hose stretch, TURBO™ increases back pressure by approximately 25–30 PSI while allowing the nozzle to maintain its intended low operating pressure.
For 160–185 GPM handlines using a 50 PSI nozzle, the additional back pressure helps increase hose rigidity, reduce kinking and minimize hose and nozzle whip without increasing nozzle reaction.
FEATURES
- Adds approximately 25–30 PSI of hoseline back pressure
- Designed for 1.75" firefighting handlines
- Optimized for 160–185 GPM nozzle applications
- Maintains low 50 PSI nozzle-pressure performance
- Helps reduce hose kinking
- Helps reduce hose and nozzle whip
- Improves hose rigidity for feeding, pushing and advancing the line
- Can simplify pump operations by allowing a higher initial pump discharge pressure
