Monitor only — nozzle, joystick controller, CAN harnesses, and optional water valve sold separately.
The Elkhart BrushHawk™ 8495 electric water cannon combines compact construction with remote directional control for installations where mounting space and operator visibility matter. Its low profile and small swing radius make it suited to confined mounting areas, including bumper installations on brush and wildland apparatus.
Elkhart part number 08495002 features a 2" FNPT inlet and 1-1/2" MNHT outlet. Pair it with a compatible BrushHawk joystick, nozzle, and harness to configure the system around your application. Whether replacing an existing monitor or specifying a new installation, verify the connections, control components, and available clearance before ordering.
Controlled movement with a simpler installation
The BrushHawk’s proportional joystick system lets the operator make slower, finer adjustments or move the monitor more quickly by changing joystick input. With a compatible electric nozzle installed, the joystick also controls the spray pattern. Adding the optional water valve enables joystick-based water on/off and trigger control.
Control electronics are integrated into the monitor, eliminating a separate monitor control module. Its vaned waterway helps reduce turbulence, while field-adjustable travel limits allow movement to be configured around the installation.
