A covering is provided to protect nozzles from outdoor elements while allowing the nozzle to discharge fluid when needed. The covering includes a water way portion with a cap, a lock ring, a clamp, and a flexible collar, and may also include a body cover attached to the water way portion and extending over the body of the nozzle. The cap is configured to cover the water way of the nozzle and is attached such that when pressure is applied from the water way, the cap is released allowing water to flow from the nozzle. The cap may then be reattached to the collar when the nozzle is not is use. In this way, the cover protects and covers fire nozzles up to the moment that the equipment is activated.
