What is Stack Tips Fire Monitor
Stack Tips Fire Monitor, also commonly called a Stacked Tips Fire Monitor, refers to a fire monitor that uses a "stacked tips nozzle."
What is Stack Tips
Stack Tips are a set of straight-stream water nozzles of different diameters that can be stacked together section by section.
Single tip → Low flow rate
Multiple tips stacked together → Higher flow rate
Can be added or removed on-site without tools
Common diameters include:
1.5" / 2" / 2.5" / 3" (specific sizes vary depending on the manufacturer)
Stack Tips Fire Monitor is designed to deliver very high flow rates through a simple, rugged nozzle configuration made up of interchangeable straight stream tips. It is widely used in industrial fire protection, especially in high-risk environments where large volumes of water or foam solution are required to control fires quickly and from a safe distance.
Key Features
Extremely high flow capacity
Capable of delivering thousands of liters per minute, making it ideal for large-scale fires.
Simple and durable design
Fewer moving parts mean higher reliability and lower maintenance.
Adjustable flow output
Flow rate can be increased or decreased by adding or removing individual tips.
Long straight-stream reach
Produces a solid, concentrated water stream with excellent throw distance.
Compatible with water and foam solution
Often used with foam proportioning systems for flammable liquid fires.
How It Works
Each straight tip contributes a specific flow rate. When stacked together, the total discharge flow increases while maintaining stream coherence. Because there is no fog pattern or moving deflector, the monitor delivers maximum kinetic energy to the target, helping to cool surfaces, suppress flames, and prevent fire spread.
Typical Applications
Stack tips fire monitors are especially suited for:
Oil & gas facilities
Petrochemical plants
Tank farms
Chemical storage areas
Power plants
Large warehouses and docks
