The TFT VORTEX enhances the use of a smooth-bore nozzle. Six short vanes in the bore of the Vortex reduce turbulence in straight stream. Twisting the Stream Shaper from “STREAM” to “VORTEX” causes the vanes to pivot proportionally. This induces a gentle spin in the water to create a uniformly dispersed Vortex stream pattern. The vanes are less obtrusive than a typical stream straightener, resulting in virtually no friction loss regardless of which stream pattern is selected. The vanes also allow large debris to easily pass through the Vortex. tft.com. (800) 348-2686.
