XD Smooth Bores
This is the stripped-down buying view for departments that want the feel and stream quality of a smooth bore without losing track of tip length, discharge size, or ordering details. The XD line gives you a common 1.5" platform with multiple body lengths, stacked-tip formats, and bumper customization.

Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the body style first: short barrel, long barrel, or stacked-tip package.
- Lock in the discharge size based on your hose package, target reach, and nozzle pressure plan.
- Specify inlet threads up front so the tip lands ready for the line it will actually live on.
- If you want department differentiation, add bumper color during ordering. Black is the standard color.
- Use the flow and reaction-force PDFs below to match the tip to your pump chart and operator training package.
