2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Task Force Tips Masterstream Series Nozzles are automatic pressure control deluge nozzles. These automatic nozzles operate by sensing the pressure at the nozzle’s inlet and adjusting the discharge opening to maintain a constant pressure throughout the fl ow range of the nozzle. While fl owing, the stream pattern can be varied from wide fog to straight stream. Trapped debris can be removed without the use of tools.
These nozzles are constructed of hardcoat anodized aluminum and UV resistant rubber. Their rugged construction is compatible with the use of fresh water as well as fi refi ghting foam solutions. A summary of each nozzle’s characteristics is shown in the table below.

•
Masterstream 1000 nozzle is also available in selectable gallonage or fi xed orifi ce models. See catalog for details.
Masterstream1250, 1500, 2000 and 4000 nozzles are fi eld adjustable within the range of pressures shown.
For long term installations, it is recommended that the threads be greased before installing the nozzle.
OPERATING NOTE ABOUT AUTOMATIC NOZZLES: The automatic nozzle is considerably different than "conventional" nozzles because of basic changes in the operating principle. These differences not only assure the most effective operation under a variety of conditions, but will also utilize the available water supply most effi ciently. It is important that nozzle operators, pump operators, and offi cers be fully aware of these differences. Therefore, proper instruction is required for safe and effective operations.
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
Injury can occur from an inadequately supported nozzle. The mounting must be capable of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be in excess of 2300 lbs (4000 GPM at 120 PSI).
WARNING
Some volatile liquids can be ignited by static discharge.
Static build-up can occur from:
• Electrochemical separation of charge as water drains through low conductivity, refi ned products.
•
•
Applying foam over a low conductivity liquid of suffi cient depth to retain the charge created as the foam blanket drains.
Streaming currents as water or foam is introduced into the storage tank.
1
WARNING
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 water
2
CAUTION
Nozzle must be properly connected. Mismatched or damaged threads may cause nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and could cause injury.
CAUTION
Do not couple aluminum to brass. Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in inability to unscrew threads or complete loss of thread engagement.

2.1 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water 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.
2.2 VARIOUS MODELS AND TERMS
The spray pattern is changed from wide fog to straight stream by means of the “stream shaper”. Models are available with fi ve different methods to move the stream shaper as shown in fi gures 1A - 1E. See catalog for model numbers and details.

LIM-030 February 16, 2010 Rev12
2.3 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
On nozzles with hydraulic stream shaper actuation, the hydraulic system is connected to the nozzle with two 1/8”-27 NPT (1/4”-18
NPT on Masterstream 4000) female ports on the fi lter block located on the nozzle’s stream shaper. When the port on the left of the fi lter block (as seen from behind the nozzle) is pressurized, the shaper moves back into the wide fog position. Pressurizing the right port moves the shaper forward into straight stream. Hydraulic lines must be fl exible to allow for movement of the stream shaper.
Use only clean fl uid compatible with Buna N Compound (Nitrile). System must be free from all dirt, chips and contaminants.
Replacement fi lter elements are available from TFT (item #M160). Maximum hydraulic pressure is 1000 psi (70 bar, 7000 Kpa) for
Masterstream 1000 or 1250s. (1500 psi, 105 bar, 10500 Kpa for Masterstream 4000 Nozzle).
2.4 ELECTRIC INSTALLATION
Nozzles with electric stream shaper actuation are shipped with a wiring diagram (TFT item #LIM-040). Other documentation is available on request. The actuator is not rated as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe. NOTE: Masterstream 1000,
1250s, 1250, 1500 and 2000 nozzles are equipped with manual override in case of electrical power failure. Refer to fi gure 1D for manual override instructions.
WARNING
The electric motor and other components are ignition sources. The electric stream shaper should be operated only in areas where there is adequate ventilation and no hazard of fl ammable vapor buildup.
2.5 PATTERN CONTROL
TFT’s Masterstream Series nozzles have full pattern control from straight stream to wide fog. On models with manual shapers, turning the stream shaper clockwise (as seen from the operating position behind the nozzle) moves the shaper to the straight stream position. Turning the stream shaper counterclockwise will result in an increasingly wider pattern.
Since the stream trim point varies with fl ow, the nozzle should be “trimmed” after changing the fl ow to obtain the straightest and farthest reaching stream. To properly trim a 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 effective reach of the nozzle.
2.6 USE WITH FOAM
The Masterstream Series nozzles may be used with foam solutions. Refer to fi re service training for the proper use of foam.
WARNING
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; Clear path to deliver foam, as hoses and other equipment and vehicles are deployed.
WARNING
Improper use of foam can result in injury or damage to the environment. Follow foam manufacturer’s instructions and fi re service training.
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
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.
2.6.1 FOAMJET LX WITH MASTERSTREAM 1000 NOZZLE
To increase the expansion ratio, Task Force Tips “Foamjet LX” (model FJ-LX-M) may be used with the Masterstream 1000 and 1250s nozzle. This low expansion foam tube attaches and detaches quickly from the nozzle. Adjust nozzle spray pattern to give best foam quality. Note: As expansion ratio is increased, the reach of the nozzle will be decreased due to the greater amount of bubbles in the stream and their inability to penetrate the air. Generally the reach with foam is approximately 10% less than with water only. Actual results will vary based on brand of foam, hardness of water, temperature, etc.
3.0 AUTOMATIC NOZZLE OPERATION
Automatic nozzles operate by sensing the pressure at the nozzle’s inlet and adjusting the discharge opening to maintain a constant pressure throughout the fl ow range of the nozzle. For example, when the pressure at the inlet increases, the exit area is automatically increased until the inlet pressure returns to the nominal pressure of the nozzle.
Note: Inlet pressure of a Masterstream Series nozzle will stabilize at the nominal pressure (within 5%). This stabilization may take as long as half a minute after a change in inlet pressure.

3.1 FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF MASTERSTREAM 1000 and 1250s
Within its fl ow range, the Masterstream 1000 and 1250s automatic nozzles operate at the nominal pressure of 100 PSI (7 BAR, 700
KPA). Figures 2 shows typical performance of this nozzle.
WARNING
Large amounts of debris 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.

3.3 DETERMINING FLOW WITH PRE-PIPED MONITORS
The simplest procedure to determine fl ow with automatic nozzles is with a fl ow meter. If a fl ow meter is unavailable, then the fl ow may be estimated using pressure loss data between the nozzle and an in-line pressure gauge at the pump or considerably upstream from the nozzle. Data is taken with a smooth bore nozzle and handheld pitot gauge. Note: Equations assume no substantial change in elevation between in-line pressure gauge and nozzle.
Step1: Determine fl ow of smooth bore nozzle.
Flow water with a smooth bore nozzle and record the nozzle’s size, pitot pressure and in-line pressure gauge reading. The smooth bore nozzle’s fl ow is calculated from the Freeman formula:
Where: F = 29.71 for English units (GPM, INCHES, PSI)
F = .667 for metric units (LPM, MM, BAR) Note: 1 BAR=100 KPA
Q smooth fl ow in GPM (or LPM)
D exit diameter in INCHES (or MM)
P pitot pitot pressure in PSI (or BAR)
Step 2: Find pressure loss constant.
Q smooth
= F x D P pitot
Using the results from step 1, use the following equation to calculate the pressure loss constant between the in-line pressure gauge and the nozzle:
Where: C piping pressure loss constant in GPM2/PSI (or LPM2/BAR)
P inline
in-line pressure gauge reading in PSI (or BAR)
C =
Q
2 smooth
P in-line
- P pitot
Step 3: Calculate fl ow with automatic nozzle.
Using the pressure loss constant from step 2 and the following equation, the fl ow with an automatic nozzle can be calculated for your particular installation.
Where: Q auto
automatic nozzle fl ow in GPM (or LPM)
P auto
nominal nozzle operating pressure in PSI (or BAR)
Q = (P in-line
- P )C
Mount a graph or table of the results adjacent to the in-line pressure gauge. Deliver any desired fl ow by adjustment of pump pressure.
3.4 STREAM TRAJECTORY DATA
Figures 4A - 4E give the stream trajectory for the Masterstream Series nozzles at various fl ows.
Notes on trajectory graphs:
• Graphs show approximate effective stream trajectory at 30 degrees elevation in no wind conditions. Distance to last water drops approximately 10% farther.
• To estimate trajectories at elevations other than 30 degrees, refer to document LTT-135, available at www.tft.com.
•
•
•
Trajectories shown are for water. The addition of foam is expected to decrease the reach by 10%.
Tail or head winds of 20 MPH (30 KPH) may increase or decrease the range approximately 30%.

4.0 FLUSHING DEBRIS
Debris in the water may get caught inside the nozzle. This trapped material will cause poor stream quality, shortened reach and reduced fl ow. To remove debris trapped in the nozzle:
1. Shut off fl ow to the nozzle.
2. Move the stream shaper to the wide fog position.
3. Carefully unscrew and remove the nozzle’s piston/cylinder.
Notes on Masterstream 1000 and 1250s Nozzle:
• The cylinder is under about 25 lbs (11Kgf) of spring force. The spring must be compressed to reinstall.
• A long white push rod is part of the cylinder assembly. Pull cylinder straight out until push rod clears shaft.
Notes for Masterstream 1250, 1500, 2000 and 4000 Nozzles:
•
•
Remove the piston, return spring and cylinder
Remove the small spring and stainless steel poppet from the center of the shaft as a unit.
4. Remove debris.
5. Reassemble the nozzle.
Figures 5A, 5B, 5C & 5D show the pieces that are removed during the fl ush procedure.
WARNING
Large amounts 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.

5.0 MAINTENANCE
When reassembling the nozzle after repairs or for preventive maintenance, coat the seal on the piston, the inner bore of the cylinder and the shaft slide surface with a waterproof lubricant such as Dow Corning #112 Silicone Grease. Lubrication is required to assure continued smooth operation. The frequency of lubrication will depend on frequency of usage and storage conditions. Nozzles must be checked regularly to assure proper operation. See fi gures 5A, 5B and 5C for the nozzle lubrication points.
STORAGE: Store the Masterstream 4000 Hydraulic Nozzle in the Full Fog (retracted) position.
Contact factory for parts lists and exploded views for particular models. Each nozzle is identifi ed by a serial number located on the nozzle’s stream shaper (see fi gure 1).
6.0 WARRANTY
Task Force Tips, Inc., 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, IN 46383-9327 USA (“TFT”) warrants to the original purchaser of its
