VAJRA 536

ELECTRIC DC REMOTE CONTROLLED MONITOR

VAJRA – 536 is Electric 24V / 12V DC Remote

Controlled Monitor for fire trucks.

Monitor has high flow capability up to 4750 LPM (1250

GPM) . Monitor has rugged construction with corrosion
resistant bronze material, possess several design
features that enables easy operation and minimum
maintenance.

Horizontal and vertical rotation through bronze

swiveling joints with double row of stainless steel ball
bearing. The monitor rotation & elevation is controlled
remotely as well as from the monitor hand wheel.
Model VAJRA – 536 maintain 340° stop to stop
horizontal rotation ability. The monitor have elevation
movement of 90° above horizontal and 45° below
horizontal.

The monitor has provision to mount various nozzles

such as straight stream nozzle, aspirating and non-
aspirating jet & spray/fog nozzle and a foam barrel.

Internally cast in water vanes reduces turbulence and

friction loss, thus increasing nozzle performance. The
design ensures to prevent jet reaction forces from
affecting the horizontal and vertical position of the After few initial successful tests, an authorized person
