FAQ

 

Q: What is the typical flow rate?

Manual water cannons usually offer flow rates ranging from 500 to 3000 liters per minute (LPM) or more, depending on the model and application.

 

Q: What materials are they made of?

Common materials include:

Stainless steel (for corrosion resistance)

Brass or bronze (marine applications)

Carbon steel with anti-corrosion coating

Aluminum alloy (lightweight applications)

 

Q: How are they operated?
