To choose a compatible fire fighting lance, confirm the required spray pattern, operating pressure, flow rate, inlet connection, and the materials that will contact water or foam. Then compare those requirements with the hose, pump, and operating conditions of the intended system. A lance that connects physically may still deliver an unsuitable flow or pattern, so check both mechanical fit and performance information before placing an order.

This guide is for agricultural equipment distributors, fire-protection buyers, OEMs, and businesses sourcing lances for farm, forestry, or other water-delivery applications. At Kobold, we help buyers define these requirements before product selection, quotation, and order confirmation. The specifications below are a purchasing framework, not a universal operating recommendation; final selection should follow the system design and applicable local requirements.
This guide supports buyers who need to specify or replace a fire fighting lance for an existing hose-and-pump setup. It is particularly relevant when agricultural equipment dealers or system integrators are sourcing components for farms, machinery, or outdoor operations. Buyers evaluating OEM supply can also use the checklist to communicate product, packaging, and documentation requirements.
A lance is only one part of a water-delivery system. Its performance depends on the connected pump, hose, fittings, water supply, and operating pressure, so evaluating it as a standalone item can lead to a poor match.
A fire fighting lance, often called a fire nozzle or branch pipe depending on the product and market, is the end component used to direct water or another approved extinguishing medium. Depending on its design, it may provide a straight stream, a spray, or an adjustable pattern. Some designs allow the operator to change the output at the nozzle, while others provide a fixed pattern.
For agricultural and outdoor applications, the intended task may include directing water toward a specific area or covering a broader surface. Conditions vary considerably by site and system, so buyers should avoid assuming that one lance design will suit every application. Confirm the required reach, coverage, handling method, and fluid before choosing a model.
A fixed-pattern lance is designed for a particular output shape and may suit buyers who want a simple, defined configuration. An adjustable-pattern model allows the operator to change the discharge pattern, subject to the product’s design and operating instructions. Buyers should confirm how adjustment works and whether changing the pattern affects flow or other operating characteristics.
Some lances are designed for use with water, while others may be intended for specific foam or additive systems. Do not assume that a water-compatible product is also suitable for every concentrate or chemical. Ask the supplier to confirm fluid compatibility, seals, and any required proportioning equipment for the proposed setup.
Material selection affects weight, corrosion considerations, durability, and compatibility with the working environment. Buyers may encounter metal or polymer components, but the exact material and construction vary by model. Request the product specification and clarify which parts are in contact with the fluid, especially when the lance will be stored outdoors or exposed to demanding conditions.
Start with the operating pressure and expected flow rate at the lance, not just the pump’s maximum figures. A pump rating alone does not establish what reaches the nozzle under the actual hose length, elevation, fittings, and operating conditions. Ask for the manufacturer’s stated operating range and any available pressure-flow information for the specific model.
With competitive price and timely delivery, Kobold sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
For example, a buyer might use a sample comparison brief listing a 25 mm hose, 6 bar inlet pressure, and a target flow of 100 L/min. These figures are illustrative inputs only, not a recommended fire-fighting setup or a Kobold product specification. Replace them with verified site or system requirements, and have a qualified system designer confirm suitability where needed.
| Specification | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Operating pressure | Required working range and any stated maximum | Must align with the pump, hose, and product limits |
| Flow rate | Expected flow at the intended operating condition | Influences water use and the output available at the lance |
| Inlet connection | Thread, coupling type, size, and gender | Determines whether the lance can connect to the existing hose |
| Pattern and control | Fixed or adjustable output and adjustment method | Helps match the lance to the intended task and operator workflow |
| Materials and fluid | Body, seals, and approved media | Supports compatibility with storage conditions and the intended fluid |
Describe where and how the lance will be used, who will operate it, and whether the main need is focused delivery, wider coverage, or an adjustable option. Record the water source, expected hose routing, and any relevant environmental exposure. For agricultural equipment applications, also consider how the lance will be transported, stored, and maintained alongside other equipment.
Collect the pump’s relevant operating information and identify the hose and fittings already in use. Record the connection dimensions and type rather than relying on a visual match, since similar-looking fittings may use different threads or coupling standards. If you are replacing an existing lance, provide clear photos and any available markings, but confirm dimensions before ordering.
Ask the supplier to verify that the selected model is appropriate for the required pressure and flow conditions. Request product-specific information on the available pattern, adjustment, materials, and compatible media. If the system uses foam or another additive, provide the exact fluid information and confirm that the full assembly—not only the lance body—is suitable.
Confirm inlet size, thread or coupling standard, and whether an adapter is required. An adapter may solve a connection mismatch, but it can introduce additional sealing, restriction, or maintenance considerations; have the complete configuration reviewed. Before purchase, align the model, quantity, packaging, labeling, and inspection expectations with the supplier.
Pricing depends on the selected configuration, materials, connection, order quantity, packaging, and any customization or documentation requirements. Minimum order quantities and lead times are supplier- and product-specific, so request these details for the exact model and destination rather than relying on a general estimate. For an accurate quotation, share the target specification, annual or initial quantity, delivery destination, and any OEM requirements.
For repeat purchasing, it is useful to agree on a controlled specification that identifies the approved model and connection details. This can reduce confusion between similar versions when replenishing inventory. Ask the supplier how product revisions or substitutions will be communicated before they affect a purchase order.
Before selecting a supplier, check whether they can respond clearly to technical questions and provide a product specification for the proposed lance. Confirm how they verify connection details, explain operating limits, and handle customization requests. Where the application requires formal approvals or specific compliance documentation, request the relevant documents for the exact product and destination and have them reviewed by the responsible party.
The right fire fighting lance is the one that fits the system and the task, not simply the one with the most features. Begin with your operating requirements, verify pressure and flow, and confirm the connection standard and fluid compatibility before comparing suppliers. Treat any sample figures as a way to structure a specification—not as a substitute for engineering review or the product’s stated limits.
At Kobold, we support B2B buyers with product selection and sourcing for fire fighting lance requirements, including agricultural equipment applications. Send us your target pressure and flow, hose connection details, intended medium, quantity, and destination market to discuss a suitable configuration and quotation. Where information is incomplete, photos, drawings, and existing product markings can help us clarify the requirement before an order is confirmed.
