Sorry I missed your posting about going to smoothbores. Take a look at my artivcle in Fire Engineering this month "Improving your pre-connects" I have found that once someone has actually used a smoothbore on an interior attack they are very impressed. Like you we have gone to SS on our 2 1/2" lines. As for our 1 3/4" we are using the break apart design. In other words if you spin the combination tip off you have a 15/16" slug tip. It takes time but we have had several die hard fog guys see the light. You will never switch everyone and I think we need to respect that. Nor do I think we should get rid of combination nozzles all together. On my engine it is understood - SS for interior work, and combos for most outside work (car fires, wildland, trash fires etc.) Feel free to contact me by my work e-mail if you like.
