Akron Brass Offers Special Rebates for Firefighters

Akron Brass (www.akronbrass.com) is showing its appreciation to the men and women who risk their lives for their communities by offering special rebates on Akron Brass nozzles with the Firefighter Appreciation Rebate.

From now until December 31, 2009, a $50 cash rebate will be given to firefighters who trade in any used Akron Brass nozzle and purchase one of three new Akron nozzles. For those firefighters who turn in another brand’s nozzle and purchase a new Akron nozzle, a $75 cash rebate will be provided.

The Firefighter Appreciation Rebate offers three, diverse Akron nozzles, so that every firefighter will find what they are looking for. The Turbojet®, Saberjet™ and Assault™ nozzles each offer unique qualities while delivering the exceptional durability and superior performance you have come to expect from Akron®.

The adjustable gallonage Turbojet® nozzle is known for its flexibility and flow control, making it one of the best nozzles in the world. The Assault™, with its superior stream performance and quick change pattern adjustment, is one of the most reliable and easy-to-use nozzles in today’s fire service.

For a multipurpose nozzle, the Saberjet™ is the way to go. The Saberjet™ nozzle offers a Single Shutoff complete with a unique three position handle, and a Dual Shutoff, which allows both solid bore and fog stream to flow at the same time.
