1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the definitions 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 pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and can result
in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate fire suppression. See flow
graphs.
WARNING This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Use of this equipment for
other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance
and training to reduce risk of injury.
WARNING Equipment may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of water. Such
damage may be difficult to detect visually. Subsequent pressurization can lead to injury or
death. Any time the equipment is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be tested
and approved for use by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use.
WARNING Failure to restrain nozzle reaction can cause firefighter injury from loss of footing and/or stream
protection. Opening and closing other nozzles, hose line kinks, changes in pump settings, nozzle
pattern, or flushing will cause changes in nozzle reaction. Nozzle operator must always be
prepared in the event of these changes.
WARNING If nozzle gets out of control while flowing, violent whipping motion will occur. Serious injury or
death could result. Retreat from the nozzle immediately. Do not attempt to regain control of
nozzle while flowing.
WARNING Application of water or foam solutions on energized electrical equipment could cause
electrocution. Serious injury or death could result. Assume circuits are energized until confirmed
to be de-energized. Do not apply water or foam to energized electrical equipment.
WARNING The stream exiting a nozzle is powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the nozzle is securely attached and pointing in a safe direction before water is turned
on. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.

3.3 NOZZLE COUPLINGS
NH (National Hose Threads) threads are standard on all nozzles. Other threads such as NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) can
be specified at time of order.
CAUTION Mismatched or damaged threads may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under pressure.
Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched threads
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. Failure could cause injury.
Per NFPA 1962, if dissimilar metals are left coupled together, an anti-corrosive lubricant should be
applied to the threads and the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least quarterly.
3.4 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided the equipment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of
the equipment may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion, and is not covered under warranty
4.0 FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
At each flow setting, the nozzle is set to a predetermined fixed orifice. Relationship of flow and nozzle pressure at each setting is
shown below. Contact the factory or visit the website (tft.com) for range and trajectory data.
SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS If nozzles are made according to the special marking or performance requirements of the fire
department, the characteristics may differ from the published data in this manual. Repair parts specific to each serial number may
differ from those shown in the service procedure. The required parts for each serial number are available online by entering tft.com/
F123456 with the numbers corresponding to the serial number engraved on the product.
The charts in this document give specific examples of pump pressure and flow for various hoses and lengths. Losses may vary due to
differences in hose construction resulting in flows different than shown. For situations or lengths of hose not listed on the chart,

5.2.2 FLUSH CONTROL
Small debris passes may get caught inside the nozzle. This trapped material will cause poor stream quality, shortened reach, and
reduced flow. To remove small debris, the nozzle may be flushed as follows:
• While still flowing water, rotate the index ring counterclockwise (as viewed from behind the nozzle) to the Flush setting. This
will open the nozzle allowing debris to pass through.
• During flush 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 flush position to retain control of the nozzle.
• Rotate the index ring out of flush to continue normal operations.
WARNING Large amounts or pieces of debris may be unflushable and can reduce the flow of the nozzle
resulting in an ineffective flow. In the event of a blockage, it may be necessary to retreat to a safe
area, uncouple the nozzle and remove debris.
5.2.3 SHUTOFF SETTING (TIP-ONLY MODELS)
On Tip Only models, the index ring has a shutoffsetting to stop the nozzle flow. To shut offthe nozzle, rotate the index ring clockwise
(as seen from the operating position behind the nozzle) into the “OFF” position. Rotate counterclockwise into a flow setting to open
the nozzle.
5.3 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 flow, the stream should be “trimmed” after changing the flow to obtain the straightest and
farthest reaching stream. To properly trim the stream, first 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.
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.
Care must be taken to avoid dents or nicks in the nozzle tip because they can seriously affect the stream reach.
5.4 QUADRACUP NOZZLES
The QuadraCup nozzle is capable of producing aspirated foam as well as conventional straight stream and wide protective fog
patterns. The QuadraCup functions just like the QuadraFog nozzle when the aspirating sleeve is in the retracted position.
To use the aspirating feature of the QuadraCup, slide the aspirating sleeve portion of the nozzle forward. Rotation of the shaper while
the sleeve is extended provides 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 NOZZLE CONTROLS
5.1 FLOW CONTROL
Nozzle control valves must be opened slowly to eliminate unnecessary strain on the hose and couplings, and reduce pressure
surges.
Nozzles attached to an in-service hose shall be stored in the offposition
5.1.1 LEVER TYPE FLOW CONTROL (BALL VALVE)
Models with a ball valve are shut offwhen the valve handle is fully forward. Pulling back on the handle opens the valve. 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 effective use and ease of advancement, while minimizing strain and fatigue. Note: In partially open positions, a ball
valve will cause turbulence and adversely affect stream quality.
5.2 INDEX RING
5.2.1 FLOW SETTING
The index ring is marked with various flow settings. Turn the index ring so the desired setting lines up with the silver indicator pin. A
spring-loaded detent is provided at each flow setting. The nozzle will flow the indicated amount when the pressure at the nozzle is
100 psi (7 bar) on standard versions, or 75 psi (5 bar) on low pressure versions.

7.0 USE OF NOZZLES
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 fire. Among the most important is delivering water at a flow rate sufficient to absorb
heat faster than it is being generated. The flow rate depends largely on the pump discharge pressure and hose friction loss. It can 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
This Safety Manual is not intended as a substitute for proper training in
the use of rescue systems as taught from credible sources such as the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the International Fire Service
Training Association (IFSTA), or sources approved by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ).
8.0 APPROVALS
Many nozzle configurations carry the FM Approval rating, NFPA certification, and/or EN certification.
6.0 USE WITH FOAM
The nozzle may be used with foam solutions. Refer to fire service training for the proper use of foam.
WARNING For Class B fires, 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. Follow procedures established by the AHJ
for the specific fuel and conditions.
WARNING Improper use of foam or using the wrong type of foam can result in illness, injury, or damage to
the environment. Follow foam manufacturer’s instructions and fire service training as directed by
the AHJ.
WARNING Use of compressed air foam (CAF) with hand held nozzles can cause sudden surges in nozzle
reaction force resulting in risk of injury or death from loss of footing or hose whipping. Be prepared
for sudden changes in nozzle reaction caused by:
• Slug loading (Loss of foam concentrate sends slugs of air and water into the nozzle)
• Sudden release of built-up pressure in the hose when opening a nozzle
6.1 FOAM ASPIRATING ATTACHMENTS
Multi-expansion or low expansion aspirating attachments may be used with nozzles to increase the expansion ratio. These foam
tubes attach and detach quickly from the nozzle. As expansion ratio is increased, the reach of the nozzle will decrease due to the
greater amount of bubbles in the stream and their ability to penetrate the air. Generally, the straight stream 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.
For specific information, see LIA-025 (MANUAL: Foam Attachments for TFT Nozzles).

9.0 COLOR CODED HANDLE COVER AND PISTOL GRIPS
Nozzles with lever type valve handles are supplied with black valve handle covers and pistol grips. The handle covers and pistol grips
are available from TFT in various colors for those departments wishing to color code the nozzle to the discharge controls. A colored
handle cover set will be sent upon receipt of the warranty card by TFT. Your department’s name can also be engraved on the covers
(see warranty card for more information).
Handle covers are replaceable by removing the four screws that hold the handle covers in place. Use a 3/32” hex key when replacing
screws. Pistol grip is replaceable by following TFT instruction sheet LTT-108.
For standardization NFPA 1901 recommends the following color code scheme:

11.0 WARRANTY
Task Force Tips LLC, 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA (“TFT”) warrants to the original purchaser of
its products (“equipment”), and to anyone to whom it is transferred, that the equipment shall be free from defects in material and
workmanship during the five (5) year period from the date of purchase. TFT’s obligation under this warranty is specifically 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
6383-9327 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 beneficiary 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.
TFT shall have no obligation under this limited warranty if the equipment is, or has been, misused or neglected (including failure to
provide reasonable maintenance) or if there have been accidents to the equipment or if it has been repaired or altered by someone
else.
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 specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

12.0 MAINTENANCE
TFT products are designed and manufactured to be damage resistant and require minimal maintenance. However, as the primary
firefighting tool upon which your life depends, it should be treated accordingly. To help prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or
throw equipment.
12.1 FIELD LUBRICATION
All Task Force Tips nozzles are factory lubricated with high quality silicone grease. This lubricant has excellent wash out resistance,
providing long term performance in firefighting nozzles. If your department has unusually hard or sandy water, the moving parts of the
nozzle 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 for signs of damage. IF
THE NOZZLE IS OPERATING CORRECTLY, THEN NO ADDITIONAL LUBRICANT IS NEEDED. Any nozzle that is not operating
correctly should be immediately removed from service. The nozzle can be returned to the factory at any time for a complete checkup
and relubrication with silicone grease.
The field use of Break Free CLP (spray or liquid) lubricant will help to temporarily restore the smooth and free operation of the nozzle.
These lubricants do not have the washout resistance and long-term performance of the silicone grease. Once Break Free CLP is
applied, re-application will be needed on a regular basis until the nozzle can be returned to the factory for a complete checkup and
relubrication with silicone grease.
CAUTION Aerosol lubricants contain solvents that can swell O-Rings if applied in excess. The swelling can
inhibit smooth operation of the moving parts. When used in moderation, as directed, the solvents
quickly evaporate without adversely swelling the O-Rings.
12.2 SERVICE TESTING
In accordance with NFPA 1962, nozzles must be tested a minimum of annually. Nozzles failing any part of this test must be removed
from service, repaired and retested upon completion of the repair.
12.3 REPAIR
Factory service is available with repair time seldom exceeding one day in our facility. Factory serviced equipment is repaired by
experienced technicians, wet tested to original specifications, 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.
Repair parts and service procedures are available for those wishing to perform their own repairs. Task Force Tips assumes no
liability for damage to equipment or injury to personnel that is a result of user service. Contact the factory or visit the web site at tft.
com for parts lists, exploded views, test procedures and troubleshooting guides. All replacement parts must be obtained from the
manufacturer to assure proper operation of the product, and to maintain approval of the device.
Performance tests shall be conducted on the equipment after a repair, or anytime a problem is reported to verify operation in
accordance with TFT test procedures. Consult factory for the procedure that corresponds to the model and serial number of the
equipment. 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 alterations to the product or its markings could diminish safety and constitutes a misuse of
this product.
