High Pressure 40 Bar: A Technological Breakthrough in Wildfire Fighting
Wildfires present major challenges for firefighters due to their rapid spread, difficult access points, and limited water availability.
Over the years, new technologies have been developed to enable intervention with minimal water usage and with lighter, more compact equipment.
This technology relies on a set of specialized equipment, including lighter and more durable hoses, high-performance nozzles, precise control valves, adapted wyes/divisions, and GFR couplings designed for high pressure.
By atomizing water into fine droplets, these innovations make it possible to fight fires from a distance, reducing firefighters’ exposure to flames and toxic smoke.
Securhit offers a full range of reliable and high-performance High-Pressure equipment designed to meet the needs of fire-fighting professionals.
High-Pressure Hoses: Lightweight, Durable, and Efficient
The 40-bar high-pressure hoses are designed to withstand high pressures while offering excellent flexibility and easy storage.
Thanks to their reduced 25 mm diameter and lightweight construction, 40-bar High-Pressure hoses are easy to transport and operate.
Made from high-resistance materials, they provide outstanding durability and ensure optimal flow. They are also compatible with GFR couplings, ensuring fast and leak-proof connections.

GFR Couplings (Gros Filet Rond): Reliability and Safety Under High Pressure
GFR couplings are essential for high-pressure systems, offering strong and leak-tight connections. Their design allows quick connection without the need for specific tools.
Resistant to vibrations and impacts, they minimize the risk of accidental loosening. Made from brass, they are both lightweight and durable.
The threading on the PN40 high-pressure GFR coupling is larger than on the PN25 version, preventing accidental cross-connection.
High-Pressure Nozzles: Power and Versatility
High-pressure nozzles provide precise water control with adjustable flow rates ranging from 25 to 150 L/min. They allow users to switch between a concentrated jet for flame penetration or a fog pattern for cooling exposed areas.
Their ergonomic design reduces kickback, minimizing operator fatigue.
High-Pressure Valves: Control and Safety
High-pressure valves are used to stop water flow. Designed to withstand 40-bar pressure, they are built with reinforced materials.
Their ergonomic handle ensures easy operation, even when wearing gloves.

High-Pressure Divisions: Optimal Distribution and Organization
Divisions allow water to be distributed between multiple nozzles, optimizing hydraulic resource management. They are lightweight and compact, ideal for operations in forest environments.
Equipped with GFR HP PN40 couplings, they ensure fast and secure connections.
The integration of 40-bar high-pressure technology into wildfire fighting represents a major technological advancement, improving operational efficiency, safety, and response time. Thanks to these innovative tools, firefighters are better equipped to face the challenges posed by forest fires. This technology is becoming an essential asset for safer, more effective, and more environmentally conscious interventions.
