1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identifi ed by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.6-2011, the defi nitions of the four signal words are as follows:
DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.
2.0 SAFETY
DANGER An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or fl ow will cause an ineff ective stream and can
result in injury, death, or loss of property. See fl ow graphs or call 800-348-2686 for assistance.
WARNING The nozzle may be damaged if frozen while containing signifi cant amounts of water. Such
damage may be diffi cult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. Any time the
nozzle is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be tested by qualifi ed personnel
before being considered safe for use.
WARNING This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for fi refi ghting. Their use for other
purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and
training to reduce risk of injury.
WARNING Failure to restrain nozzle reaction can cause fi refi ghter injury from loss of footing and/or stream
protection. Nozzle reaction will vary as supply conditions change: such as opening or closing
other nozzles, hose line kinks, changes in pump settings, etc. Changes in spray pattern or
fl ushing will also aff ect nozzle reaction. The nozzle operator must always be prepared in the
event of these changes.
WARNING If nozzle gets out of control or away from operator, retreat from nozzle immediately. Do not
attempt to regain control of nozzle while fl owing water. Injury from whipping can occur.
WARNING Water is a conductor of electricity. Application of water on high voltage equipment can cause
injury or death by electrocution. The amount of current that may be carried back to the nozzle
will depend on the following factors:
• Voltage of the line or equipment
• Distance from the nozzle to the line or equipment
• Size of the stream
• Whether the stream is solid or broken
• Purity of the water1
1 The Fire Fighter and Electrical Equipment, The University of Michigan Extension Service, Fourth Printing 1983. Page 47
CAUTION Fire streams are capable of injury and damage. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or
damage to persons or property.
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

stainless steel 300 series, nylon 6-6, nitrile rubber
3.3 NOZZLE COUPLINGS
Many inlet couplings such as NH (National Hose) or NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) can be specifi ed at time of order.
CAUTION Nozzle must be mated to a hose line with matched threads. Mismatched or damaged threads may
cause nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and could cause injury.
CAUTION Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability
to unscrew the threads or complete loss of thread engagement over time. Per NFPA 1962, if
dissimilar metals are left coupled together an anti-corrosive lubricant should be applied to the
threads. Also the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least quarterly.
3.4 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with saltwater is permissible provided nozzle is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the nozzle
may be shortened due to the eff ects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.
4.0 FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
The following graphs show the typical performance of MID-FORCE, CAFS-FORCE and DUAL-FORCE nozzles.
SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS - If nozzles are made according to the special marking or performance requirements of the fi re
department then the operating characteristics may diff er from the published data in this manual. Repair parts specifi c to each serial
number may diff er from those shown in the service procedure. The required parts for each serial number are available on-line by

The charts in section 4.2 of this document give specifi c examples of maximum fl ow rates for particular situations. Friction losses
may vary due to diff erences in hose construction resulting in fl ows diff erent than those shown. For situations or lengths of hose not
listed on the chart, approximate fl ows can be calculated using conventional hydraulics. NOTE: Within the fl ow range, the nozzle inlet
pressure may be approximated to be 100 or 75 PSI, when used in the standard pressure mode, and 55 or 45 PSI in low pressure
mode.

4.3 REACH AND TRAJECTORY
Care must be taken to avoid dents or nicks in the nozzle tip because they can seriously aff ect the stream reach.
The following are specifi c examples of maximum fl ow rates for particular situations. Friction losses may vary due to diff erences in
hose construction resulting in fl ows diff erent than those shown. For situations or lengths of hose not listed on the chart, approximate
fl ows can be calculated using conventional hydraulics.
All reach testing was taken in still air conditions at an elevation of 30 degrees.

5.0 NOZZLE CONTROLS
Nozzle control valves must be opened slowly to eliminate unnecessary strain on the hose and couplings and reduce pressure surges.
5.1 FLOW CONTROL
5.1.1 LEVER TYPE FLOW CONTROL
On models that use a lever type valve handle, the nozzle is shut off
when the handle is fully forward. The valve handle has detented
fl ow positions. These detent positions allow the nozzle operator to
regulate the fl ow of the nozzle depending on the need or what can
be safely and eff ectively handled. TFT recommends the use of a
pistol grip for easier handling. For additional stress reduction, a
hose rope or strap may also be used. This permits more eff ective
use and ease of advancement, while minimizing strain and fatigue.
Nozzles attached to an in-service hose shall be stored in the off
position.
5.1.2 TIP ONLY
Tip only nozzles have NO shut-off valve within the nozzle and
MUST be used with a separate ball valve attached to the nozzle.
Using a nozzle without a shutoff is an unsafe practice and should
never be done.
5.1.3 BALL SHUT-OFF
A separate ball valve for use with Tip Only nozzles is shut off when
the valve handle is fully forward. Pulling back on the handle opens
the valve. Open valve slowly to avoid sudden changes in nozzle
reaction. Close valve slowly to prevent water hammer. Note: In
partially open positions a ball valve will cause turbulence and
adversely aff ect stream quality. Nozzles attached to an in-service
hose shall be stored in the off position.
5.1.4 TWIST SHUT-OFF
On models that use a twist fl ow control, the valve is opened or
closed by rotating the valve ring. Rotating the ring clockwise
(as seen from the operating position behind the nozzle) closes
the valve, while counterclockwise rotation opens it. Detents are
provided at four intermediate positions and the position of the valve
is shown by the exposed valve position label. Nozzles attached to
an in-service hose shall be stored in the off position.
5.1.5 IMPULSE TRIGGER FLOW CONTROL
NOTE: THE TRIGGER RETURNS TO OFF
IF NOT HELD OR LOCKED
OFFON
TRIGGER
LOCK
WARNING Do not intentionally release the nozzle while fl owing and trust the valve to shut off automatically.
The trigger nozzle’s ability to shut off by itself represents an extra level of safety when following
normal nozzle handling procedures. To rely on it as the sole means of safety increases the risk
of injury from an out of control nozzle. Release nozzle when fl ow has stopped.

5.1.5.2 TRIGGER FLOW CONTROL SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The IMPULSE valve contains a slow close mechanism to prevent
the nozzle from slamming off if the trigger is suddenly released.
The closing speed is set at the factory to be slow enough to
reduce water hammer, (“water hammer” is always present in
any valve when it is shut off . The slow close mechanism will
reduce this but cannot eliminate it completely) but fast enough
to reduce the potential danger of hose whipping from a dropped
nozzle. The closing speed may be adjusted as shown in the
fi gure.5.1.5.2.
Slower
Close
Faster
Close
Do not unscrew the adjuster past the end of the hand grip (to unscrew it too far could result in the loss of dampening fl uid.)
WARNING As the closing time is increased so does the risk of injury from an out of control nozzle. A fl owing
nozzle can cause injury within the fi rst second of lost control. Use caution when adjusting the
closing speed and always verify performance after adjustment.
5.1.5.1 IMPULSE TRIGGER LOCK
Use an 1/8” (3mm) punch to push out pin
and remove lock if the lock is not desired.
LOCK
TRIGGER
LOCK PIVOT PIN
To Lock: Push on the lock while pulling back the trigger to
engage one of the four locked positions.
To Release: Pull back slightly on trigger without any pressure
on the lock. The spring loaded lock will automatically move to the
unlocked position.
WARNING When the trigger lock is engaged, the nozzle will not shut off if dropped. Always shut off nozzle
before releasing the pistol grip to avoid injury from an out of control nozzle.

5.2 PATTERN AND FLUSH CONTROL
5.2.1 PATTERN CONTROL
TFT’s nozzles have full pattern control from straight stream to wide fog. Turning the stream shaper clockwise (as seen from the
operating position behind the nozzle) moves the shaper to the straight stream position. Turning the shaper counterclockwise will
result in an increasingly wider pattern.
Since the stream trim point varies with fl ow, the stream should be “trimmed” after changing the fl ow to obtain the straightest and
farthest reaching stream. To properly trim the stream, fi rst open the pattern to narrow fog. Then close the stream to parallel to give
maximum reach. Note: Turning the shaper further forward will cause stream crossover and reduce the eff ective reach of the
nozzle.
The nozzle reaction is greatest when the shaper is in the straight stream position. The nozzle operator must be prepared for a change
in reaction as the pattern is changed.

WARNING The Slow Close Feature relies on a fl uid and air combination in the pistol grip. For proper function,
the pistol grip should be within its normal operating position. The normal operating position
is with the nozzle horizontal or pointing up with the pistol grip within 45 degrees of vertical.
Releasing the trigger suddenly outside of the normal orientation will likely result in faster shut-off
causing a higher pressure spike and increasing the risk of a burst hose. Do not suddenly release
the trigger when operating outside of the nozzle’s normal orientation.

5.2.2 FLUSH CONTROL
Small debris passes through the debris screen (if equipped) and may get caught inside the nozzle. This trapped material will cause
poor stream quality, shortened reach, and reduced fl ow. To remove small debris, the nozzle may be fl ushed as follows:
• While still fl owing water, rotate the SHAPER counterclockwise (as viewed from
behind the nozzle) to the fl ush position. (increased resistance will be felt on
the SHAPER or RING as the nozzle goes into fl ush) This will open the nozzle
allowing debris to pass through.
• During fl ush the nozzle reaction will decrease as the pattern becomes wider and
the pressure drops. The nozzle operator must be prepared for an increase of
nozzle reaction when returning the nozzle from the fl ush position to retain control
of the nozzle.
• Rotate the SHAPER out of fl ush to continue normal operations.
WARNING Large amounts or pieces of debris may be unfl ushable and can reduce the fl ow of the nozzle resulting
in an ineff ective fl ow. In the event of a blockage, it may be necessary to retreat to a safe area, uncouple
the nozzle and remove debris.
5.3 STANDARD/LOW PRESSURE KNOB MID-FORCE & DUAL-FORCE
For situations where the standard pressure setting at the nozzle is impractical, the MID-FORCE or DUAL-FORCE may be switched
to a low pressure mode. In the low pressure mode the nozzle pressure is reduced by about 50% while maintaining a usable stream
and increasing the fl ow. The nozzle operator must be prepared for a change in reaction when changing modes. See the fl ow chart
in section 4.2 for actual performance.
To switch to the low pressure mode, shut off water fl ow with valve and turn knob at front of nozzle (see fi gure 4) counterclockwise
(when viewed from front). Reopen valve to fl ow water at reduced pressure. Repeat the process, except turn knob clockwise, to return
to standard pressure operation
