You cant do that in most European countries as the trigger will need to remain engaged for the valve to stay open. So you just stand there holding the pump handle bored the entire time. I get its more safe but I wish we had the same system as they do in the US
- toxik 6y agoI have never seen a nozzle without a latch in Europe, however, 90% don’t work and just unlatch immediately.
- Xylakant 6y agoThere’s usually a little latch on the handle that you can engage so that the valve stays open and you can let go then. No need to keep glued to the pump, even in Europe. You should still watch the pump though - you’re handling flammable substances.
- vvillena 6y agoIIRC some European countries forbid those latches, to ensure the pump is always actively watched.
