Overview
Straight Plastic Blade for pitot gauge kits is constructed from durable plastic for flow tests of water-based systems and fire protection equipment. These straight blades are ideal for testing fire hydrants and fire pumps. This lightweight blade attaches to one end of a standard pitot tube with a 1/4 in. NPT (6.35 mm) thread connection.
The hooked end on each straight plastic blade helps users maintain a secure grip on a hydrant nozzle, hose valve, or other outlet during testing. When used as part of a complete pitot gauge kit, the stainless steel tube inside each blade directs water toward a pressure gauge, providing pressure readings that convert to gallons per minute (GPM) using a pitot gauge theoretical discharge conversion table.
This Straight Plastic Blade is compatible with a range of pitot tubes and pitot gauge kits, making it an excellent upgrade or replacement for pitot tubes used by fire professionals.
