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, may result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.

NOTICE

WARNING

WARNING

An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or fl ow will cause an ineffective stream and can result in injury, death or loss of property. See fl ow chart on pages 8 - 11 or call 800-348-2686 for assistance.

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.

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 affect nozzle reaction. The nozzle operator must always be prepared in the event of those changes. Failure to restrain nozzle reaction can cause fi refi ghter injury from loss of footing and/or stream protection.

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.

Water is a conductor of electricity. Application of water solutions 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.

Improper use of foam can result in injury or damage to the environment. Follow foam manufacturer’s instructions and fi re service training to avoid:

• Using wrong type of foam on a fi re, i.e. Class A foam on a Class B fi re.

• Plunging foam into pools of burning liquid fuels.

• Causing environmental damage.

• Directing stream at personnel.

WARNING

WARNING

CAUTION

There is a wide variety of foam concentrates. Each user is responsible for verifying that any foam concentrate chosen to be used with this unit has been tested to assure that the foam obtained is suitable for the purpose intended.

For Class B fi res, lack of foam or interruption in the foam stream can cause a break in the foam blanket and greatly increase the risk of injury or death. Assure that:

• Application rate is suffi cient (see NFPA 11 or foam manufacturer’s recommendations).

• Enough concentrate is on hand to complete task (see NFPA for minimum duration time requirements).

• Foam logistics have been carefully planned. Allow for such things as:

• Storage of foam in a location not exposed to the hazard it protects.

• Personnel, equipment and technique to deliver foam at a rapid enough rate.

• Removal of empty foam containers.

• Keeping clear path to deliver foam as hoses, other equipment and vehicles are deployed.

Fire streams are capable of injury and damage. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.

FIGURE 2 NOZZLE FLOW CHARACTERISTICS

The charts in this document give specifi c examples of pump pressure and fl ow for various hoses and lengths. Losses may vary due to differences in hose construction resulting in fl ows different than shown. For situations or lengths of hose not listed on the chart, approximate fl ows can be calculated using conventional hydraulics.

©Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2002 - 2014 LKF-100 June 16, 2014 Rev16

4.0 NOZZLE CONTROLS

4.1 BALL VALVE SHUTOFF

Models with a ball valve are 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 affect stream quality.

4.2 SELECTOR RING

4.2.1 FLOW SETTING

The selector ring is marked with various fl ow settings. Turn the selector ring so the desired setting lines up with the silver indicator pin. A spring-loaded detent is provided at each fl ow setting. The nozzle will fl ow the indicated amount when the pressure at the nozzle is 100 PSI (7 bar) or 75 PSI (5 bar) on low pressure versions.

4.2.2 FLUSH SETTING

Debris may become trapped in the nozzle causing poor stream quality, shortened reach and reduced fl ow. To remove trapped debris, the nozzle can be fl ushed as follows: While still fl owing water, rotate the selector ring into the fl ush position. This will open up the nozzle, allowing debris to pass through. Rotate the selector ring out of fl ush to continue normal operations. The nozzle operator must be prepared for a change in nozzle reaction when returning the nozzle from the fl ush position to retain control of the nozzle.

WARNING

Large amounts or pieces of debris may be unfl ushable and can reduce the fl ow of the nozzle resulting in an ineffective fl ow. In the event of a blockage, it may be necessary to retreat to a safe area, uncouple nozzle and remove debris.

4.2.3 SHUTOFF SETTING (TIP-ONLY MODELS)

On tip-only models the selector ring has a shutoff setting to stop the nozzle fl ow. To shut off the nozzle, rotate the selector ring clockwise (as seen from the operating position behind the nozzle) into the “OFF” position. Rotate counterclockwise into a fl ow setting to open nozzle.

4.3 PATTERN CONTROL

The Thunderfog, Quadrafog and QuadraCup nozzles have full pattern control from straight stream to wide fog. Turning the 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 the fl ow, the stream should be ‘trimmed’ after changing the fl ow to obtain the straightest and furthest reaching stream. 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.

4.4 QUADRACUP NOZZLES

The QuadraCup nozzle is capable of producing aspirated foam as well as a conventional straight stream and wide protective fog pattern. The QuadraCup functions just like the QuadraFog nozzle when the gray sleeve is in the retracted position as in fi gure 1E.

To use the aspirating feature of the QuadraCup, the nozzle operator need only slide the gray sleeve portion of the nozzle forward as in fi gure 1F. Rotation of the shaper when the sleeve is extended will provide the nozzle operator control of reach and aspiration. If an immediate wide protective fog pattern is needed, the sleeve can be retracted instantly to its regular position.

5.0 FIREGROUND USE

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL FIRE DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY TO DETERMINE PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES

AND SUITABILITY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL’S USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.

Many factors contribute to the extinguishment of a fi re. Among the most important is delivering water at a fl ow rate suffi cient to absorb heat faster than is being generated. The fl ow rate depends largely on the pump discharge pressure and hose friction loss.

The pump discharge pressure may be calculated using a hydraulic equation such as:

PDP = NP+FL+DL+EL

PDP = Pump discharge pressure in PSI

NP = Nozzle pressure in PSI

FL = Hose friction loss in PSI

DL = Device loss in PSI

EL = Elevation loss in PSI

For additional information on calculating specifi c hose layouts, consult an appropriate fi re-service training manual, such as A

Firefi ghters Guide To Nozzles published by Task force Tips, or call TFT’s “Hydraulics Hotline” at 800-348-2686.

6.0 FIELD INSPECTION

Thunderfog, Quadrafog and QuadraCup nozzles are designed and manufactured to be damage resistant and require minimal maintenance. However, as the primary fi refi ghting tool upon which your life depends, it should be treated accordingly.

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 effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.

WARNING

Nozzle must be inspected before each use for proper operation and function according to inspection checklist on last page of this document. Any nozzle that fails inspection is dangerous to use and must be repaired before using.

Performance tests shall be conducted on the nozzle after a repair, or anytime a problem is reported to verify operation in accordance with Task Force Tips test procedures. Consult factory for the test procedure that corresponds to the model and serial number of the nozzle. Any equipment which fails the related test criteria should be removed from service immediately. Troubleshooting guides are available with each test procedure or equipment can be returned to the factory for service and testing.

CAUTION

Any alteration to the nozzle and its markings constitutes a misuse of this product and could diminish safety.

All nozzles are factory lubricated with high-quality silicone grease. This lubricant has excellent washout resistance and long-term performance. If your department has unusually hard or sandy water, the moving parts may be affected. Foam agents and water additives contain soaps and chemicals that may break down the factory lubrication.

The moving parts of the nozzle should be checked on a regular basis for smooth and free operation and signs of damage. IF THE

NOZZLE IS OPERATING CORRECTLY, THEN NO ADDITIONAL LUBRICATION IS NEEDED. Any nozzle that is not operating correctly should be immediately removed from service and the problem corrected.

7.0 REPAIR

Factory service is available with repair time seldom exceeding one day in our facility. Factory-serviced nozzles are repaired by experienced technicians to original specifi cations, fully wet tested, and promptly returned. Repair charges for non-warranty items are minimal. Any returns should include a note as to the nature of the problem and whom to reach in case of questions.

Task Force Tips assumes no liability for damage to equipment or injury to personnel that is a result of user service.

Repair kits and repair parts are stocked for immediate shipment. Contact the factory or visit the website at www.tft.com for parts lists, exploded views, test procedures and trouble shooting guides.

11.0 WARRANTY

Task Force Tips, Inc., 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA (“TFT”) warrants to the original purchaser of its

ThunderFog, QuadraFog and QuadraCup series nozzles (“equipment”), and to anyone to whom it is transferred, that the equipment shall be free from defects in material and workmanship during the fi ve (5) year period from the date of purchase.

TFT’s obligation under this warranty is specifi cally limited to replacing or repairing the equipment (or its parts) which are shown by

TFT’s examination to be in a defective condition attributable to TFT. To qualify for this limited warranty, the claimant must return the equipment to TFT, at 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA, within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect. TFT will examine the equipment. If TFT determines that there is a defect attributable to it, TFT will correct the problem within a reasonable time. If the equipment is covered by this limited warranty, TFT will assume the expenses of repair.

If any defect attributable to TFT under this limited warranty cannot be reasonably cured by repair or replacement, TFT may elect to refund the purchase price of the equipment, less reasonable depreciation, in complete discharge of its obligations under this limited warranty. If TFT makes this election, claimant shall return the equipment to TFT free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.

This is a limited warranty. The original purchaser of the equipment, any person to whom it is transferred, and any person who is an intended or unintended benefi ciary of the equipment, shall not be entitled to recover from TFT any consequential or incidental damages for injury to person and/or property resulting from any defective equipment manufactured or assembled by TFT. It is agreed and understood that the price stated for the equipment is in part consideration for limiting TFT’s liability. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.

THIS IS A LIMITED EXPRESS WARRANTY ONLY. TFT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE. THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE MADE BY TFT BEYOND THAT STATED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

This limited warranty gives you specifi c legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What are the flow settings and recommended hose sizes for the QuadraFog nozzle?
The QuadraFog nozzle is available in 1" and 1.5" sizes. The 1" QuadraFog nozzle has flow settings of 5, 10, 24, and 40 GPM and is recommended for use with 3/4" or 1" hose. The 1.5" QuadraFog nozzle has flow settings of 30, 60, 95, and 125 GPM and is recommended for use with 1.5" hose.
How do I flush the nozzle to clear trapped debris?
To flush the nozzle, rotate the selector ring into the flush position while still flowing water. This will open up the nozzle, allowing debris to pass through. Once the debris has been cleared, rotate the selector ring out of flush to continue normal operations.
What are the different pattern control options available for the ThunderFog, QuadraFog and QuadraCup nozzles?
The ThunderFog, QuadraFog and QuadraCup nozzles have a shaper that can be adjusted to produce a variety of patterns, from a straight stream to a wide fog. Turning the shaper clockwise moves it to the straight stream position. Turning the shaper counterclockwise will result in an increasingly wider pattern.
How do I use the aspirating feature of the QuadraCup nozzle?
To use the aspirating feature, slide the gray sleeve portion of the nozzle forward. Rotating the shaper when the sleeve is extended will provide you with control over reach and aspiration. If you need an immediate wide protective fog pattern, simply retract the sleeve to its regular position.
What is the warranty on the ThunderFog, QuadraFog and QuadraCup nozzles?
Task Force Tips, Inc. warrants the ThunderFog, QuadraFog and QuadraCup series nozzles to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase.
