At FDIC 2026, the conversations kept coming back to one thing: steady, dependable waterflow when conditions start changing.

Throughout the week, Akron Brass spent time with firefighters, officers, and industry partners talking through real on‑scene challenges and backing those conversations up with hands‑on demonstrations.

Crews explored trusted nozzles, valves, and monitors alongside connected solutions like Captium, SAM BOOST, SAM Smart Nozzle 2.0, Flat‑Out Assault, and V‑MUX, seeing how control, visibility, and system awareness work together without changing how lines are stretched or operated.

From flowing water in the outdoor demo area to booth discussions around automation and apparatus‑side control, the focus stayed on keeping waterflow consistent and operations smooth as scenarios evolve.

Read the full post‑FDIC recap to see what Akron Brass brought to FDIC 2026 and how those conversations are shaping connected waterflow today.

Exterior operations demand fast, purposeful water placement.

That's why we took the flat disperse pattern firefighters have trusted with our Firefox Monitor and made the decision to bring it to the handline with the Flat Out Assault Ring Kit, a simple retrofit for the Assault Nozzle.

This article in Fire Engineering breaks down how that proven stream control translates to exterior lines, exposure protection, and WUI operations and why it matters on today's fireground.

Straight stream. Power cone. Flat disperse.
One nozzle. Three purposeful patterns.

Introducing the Flat Out Assault Ring Kit from Akron Brass, a field‑installable upgrade that adds a flat disperse stream to select Assault nozzles for controlled, linear surface coverage on today’s fireground.

Born from proven Firefox™ monitor technology, Flat Out Assault delivers intentional water placement without added complexity, while retaining the straight stream reach and power cone protection operators already trust.

Larger droplets are engineered to maintain momentum, resist wind, and put water exactly where it’s needed.

Expanded control. Purpose‑built flow.
Available now through authorized Akron Brass distributors.

Control your flow!

The SAM Smart Nozzle puts waterflow control and critical information directly in your hands.

From the Nozzle, you can:
📍Charge the line on demand
📍Flow correct pressure at the nozzle
📍Know your tank level and water supply

No radio traffic. No delay. Just confidence.

🚒 Thinking About SAM BOOST for Your Current Truck?

If you’ve ever wished your pump operations were simpler, faster, and safer during the first critical minutes, this is your sign.

🔹 Control waterflow automatically
🔹 Charge your line and know your water level, right at the nozzle
🔹 Manage pressure, friction loss, and hose kinks for you

When the first 5–10 minutes set the tone for the entire incident, BOOST frees up your pump operator to support the crew, effectively doubling first-crew productivity and improving fireground safety.
