To select a fire fighting lance, match its spray function and operating requirements to the water source, pump, hose, fittings, and intended task. Start by confirming the required flow and pressure, then check the lance inlet size and connection type against the hose assembly. A lance that fits physically may still perform poorly if the water supply cannot provide its required operating conditions. This guide explains the main lance options and gives buyers a practical framework for evaluating compatibility before requesting a quotation.
This guide is for agricultural equipment manufacturers, distributors, fire-safety buyers, and organizations sourcing lances for compatible water-spraying equipment. It can also help buyers comparing replacement parts or planning a new hose-and-lance assembly. Product requirements vary by application, so use the guidance as a selection checklist rather than as a substitute for the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Confirm final specifications with the supplier and the equipment maker before ordering.
A fire fighting lance is the handheld outlet component used to direct water from a hose or other compatible supply. Depending on its design, it may provide a straight stream, a wider spray pattern, or a choice between patterns. These options affect how the water is directed, but do not by themselves establish the reach, flow, or effectiveness of the complete system. Those outcomes also depend on the pump, pressure, hose, water supply, and operating conditions.
Buyers may specify a lance for firefighting equipment, water-based fire response, or other suitable water-spraying applications. In agricultural settings, the relevant equipment may be stored or transported with tractors, trailers, or other machinery, but the lance must still be matched to the intended water system. A fire fighting lance is not automatically suitable for pesticide, fertilizer, or chemical application. For those uses, confirm material compatibility and choose equipment designed for the liquid and task.
Construction materials and internal components can differ between models. When evaluating a material, consider the water quality, storage conditions, expected handling, and any exposure to chemicals or outdoor environments. Ask the manufacturer to confirm the materials used in the body, seals, and other wetted components. Do not infer corrosion resistance or chemical suitability from appearance alone.
Request the operating pressure and flow rate for the exact lance model, along with the conditions under which those figures apply. For a concrete purchasing exercise, a buyer might use an illustrative target of 5 bar and 20 L/min to compare a proposed lance with the pump and hose documentation. These figures are examples for planning, not universal fire fighting lance requirements or Kobold product specifications.

Also confirm the inlet connection, nominal size, thread or coupling type, overall dimensions, and whether any adapter is required. For example, record an inlet measurement such as 25 mm only as a buyer’s system requirement to verify; it does not identify a universal lance size. Ask the supplier to clarify how dimensions are measured and to provide a drawing or connection details when fit is critical.
| Selection item | What to verify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Operating pressure | Required and permitted pressure for the lance and system | Helps assess compatibility with the pump and hose |
| Flow rate | Required flow and the conditions used to specify it | Connects lance demand to available water supply |
| Inlet connection | Size, thread or coupling type, and adapter needs | Reduces fitment uncertainty during installation |
| Spray function | Fixed or adjustable pattern and intended use | Helps ensure the discharge suits the task |
| Materials | Body and seal materials, plus any liquid restrictions | Supports a more informed durability and compatibility review |
Matching thread or coupling dimensions is necessary, but it does not prove that the assembly is suitable for the required pressure or flow. An adapter can help connect different fittings, yet it may add another interface that must be checked for fit and operating limits. Confirm the complete assembly, including valves and hose, rather than treating the lance as an isolated component. Where the equipment supplier provides system limits, use those limits as the basis for review.
Pricing may depend on the selected lance type, materials, connection configuration, order quantity, and any customization or packaging requirements. Minimum order quantities and lead times are supplier- and order-specific, so buyers should request current terms rather than rely on general estimates. If the lance is part of a larger agricultural equipment assembly, ask whether the quotation covers the lance alone or includes adapters and related components. Confirm shipping terms, sample availability, and any documentation needed for internal approval.
A reliable supplier response should address the requested specifications clearly and identify any information still needed to confirm fit. For Kobold, buyers can share their application, target pressure and flow, inlet details, and order quantity when requesting a fire fighting lance quotation. This gives the sales and technical teams a defined basis for discussing suitable options, customization needs, and supply terms without assuming that one configuration fits every system.
Select a fire fighting lance by starting with the task, then verifying spray function, pressure, flow, materials, and the full connection path to the water supply. Treat example values as planning references only and confirm specifications for the exact model and assembly before purchase. For agricultural equipment sourcing, also check that the proposed lance is intended for the liquid and operating environment involved. Prepare your equipment details and contact Kobold to discuss model options, compatibility questions, MOQ, and lead time.
