1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identi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 de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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (or equivalent) signs indicate specic safety-related instructions of procedures.
2.0 SAFETY
DANGER
An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or ow will cause an ine󰀨ective stream and can
result in injury, death, or loss of property. See ow graphs or call 800-348-2686 for assistance.
WARNING The nozzle may be damaged if frozen while containing signicant amounts of water. Such
damage may be di󰀩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 qualied personnel
before being considered safe for use.
WARNING This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for re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 re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
ushing will also a󰀨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 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

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

3.3 NOZZLE COUPLINGS
Many inlet couplings such as NH (National Hose) is standard or NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) and other threads can be
speci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 SALTWATER
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 e󰀨ects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.

5.0 NOZZLE CONTROLS
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 o󰀨 position.
5.1 FLOW CONTROL
5.1.1 LEVER TYPE FLOW CONTROL
ON
OFF
On models that use a lever type valve handle, the nozzle is shut
o󰀨 when the handle is fully forward. The valve handle has 5
detented ow positions. These detent positions allow the nozzle
operator to regulate the ow of the nozzle depending on the need
or what can be safely and e󰀨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 e󰀨ective use and ease of advancement, while minimizing
strain and fatigue.
5.1.2 TIP ONLY
ON OFF
ON OFF
Tip only nozzles have NO shut-o󰀨 valve within the nozzle and
MUST be used with a separate ball valve attached to the nozzle.
5.1.3 BALL SHUT OFF
A separate ball valve for use with Tip Only nozzles is shut o󰀨
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 a󰀨ect stream quality. Nozzles attached to an in-
service hose shall be stored in the o󰀨 position.
5.1.4 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 owing and trust the valve to shut o󰀨 automatically.
The trigger nozzle’s ability to shut o󰀨 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 ow has stopped.

©Copyright Task Force Tips LLC 2011-2018 LIG-010 May 29, 2018 Rev05

5.1.4.2 TRIGGER FLOW CONTROL SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The IMPULSE valve contains a slow close mechanism to prevent
the nozzle from slamming o󰀨 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 o󰀨. 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 gure.5.1.4.2.
Do not unscrew the adjuster past the end of the hand grip (to
unscrew it too far could result in the loss of dampening uid.)
Slower
Close

Figure 5.1.4.2
WARNING
As the closing time is increased so does the risk of injury from an out of control nozzle. A owing
nozzle can cause injury within the rst second of lost control. Use caution when adjusting the
closing speed and always verify performance after adjustment.
5.1.4.1 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 Un-Lock: Pull back slightly on trigger without any pressure
on the lock. The spring loaded lock should automatically move to
the unlocked position.
WARNING When the trigger lock is engaged, the nozzle will not shut o󰀨 if dropped. Always shut o󰀨 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 ow, the stream should be “trimmed” after changing the ow to obtain the straightest and
farthest reaching stream. To properly trim the stream, 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 e󰀨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.
Care must be taken to avoid dents or nicks in the nozzle tip because they can seriously a󰀨ect the stream reach.

WARNING The Slow Close Feature relies on a 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-o󰀨
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.

5.2.4 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
ow. To remove small debris, the nozzle may be ushed as follows:
• While still owing water, rotate the shaper counterclockwise (as viewed from behind
the nozzle) to the ush position. (increased resistance will be felt on the SHAPER or
RING as the nozzle goes into ush) This will open the nozzle allowing debris to pass
through.
• During 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 ush position to retain control of the nozzle.
• Rotate the selector ring out of ush to continue normal operations.
WARNING
Large amounts or pieces of debris may be unushable and can reduce the ow of the nozzle
resulting in an ine󰀨ective ow. 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 FOG ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Typically the G-Force is factory set with the tactile indicator in the top position for straight stream. The fog angle can be adjusted
while keeping the tactile indicator on top by following the steps in gure 5.2.3. You will need a new shaper label if you change the
fog angle adjustment.
1) Remove or cut the shaper label.
2)
Loosen the clamp ring
with a pin spanner.
3)
While keeping the tactile indicator
or lock out lever on top,
rotate the shaper guide
to obtain the desired fog angle.
4) Tighten the clamp ring
with a pin spanner.
5) Apply a new shaper label.
Figure 5.2.3
Fog Angle Adjustment
5.2.2 SHAPER TACTILE INDICATOR
The G-Force has a tactile indicator on the stream shaper. The tactile indicator allows the stream shaper position (and fog angle) to
be determined by feel rather than by sight. The fog angle can be adjusted (see section 5.2.3) so that a desired fog angle is achieved
when the tactile indicator in on top of the nozzle. The G-Force has an optional detent to aid in returning to a known fog angle. Note:
The fog angle will change as ow and pressure change (becoming wider with increased ow).

7.0 USE OF G-FORCE 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 re. Among the most important is delivering water at a ow rate su󰀩cient to absorb
heat faster than it is being generated. The ow 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 manual is not intended to act as a training guide for safe
reground tactics and operations. For additional information visit
tft.com or contact customer service at 800-348-2686.
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
To increase the expansion ratio, G-Force Series MX Foamjet multi-expansion attachment or LX Foamjet low expansion attachment
may be used with G-Force nozzles. (See table below for FoamJet model numbers). These foam tubes attach and detach quickly
from the nozzle. 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 ability 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. See Foamjet instruction manual for
specic information. See LIA-025 (MANUAL: Foam Attachments for TFT Nozzles).
FOAMJET MODEL NUMBER
1.5” G-Force MX FJ-MX-G
1.5” G-Force LX FJ-LX-G
1.0” G-Force MX FJ-UMX
1.0” G-Force LX Long FJ-LX-U
1.0”G-Force LX Short FJ-GD
6.0 USE WITH FOAM
The G-Force nozzle may be used with foam solutions. Refer to re service training for the proper use of foam.
WARNING
For Class B 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 su󰀩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 re service training to avoid:
• Using wrong type of foam on a re. i.e. Class A foam on a Class B re.
• Plunging foam into pools of burning liquid res.
• Causing environmental damage.
• Directing stream at personnel.
WARNING
There are 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.

9.1 IMPULSE TRIGGER VALVE SYSTEM NOZZLE COLORED PISTOL GRIPS
Pistol Grip Cover
Cap
(1/2 in square drive)
Adjusting Screw
(3/16 in Allen Wrench)
The TFT Impulse Trigger Valve System nozzles are supplied with black pistol grip
covers. The pistol grip covers are available from TFT in various colors for those
departments wishing to color code the nozzle to the discharge controls. Follow the
steps below to change the pistol grip cover.
1) Orient nozzle vertically. This keeps the dampening uid in the pistol grip from
spilling out.
2) Remove the Cap. (1/2 in square drive) The Adjusting Screw (3/16 in Allen
Wrench) may need to be turned in or removed to be able to engage the square
pocket in the cap. Note the position of the Adjusting Screw before moving it.
3) Slide o󰀨 the Pistol Grip Cover and install a new one. Be sure the Pistol Grip
Cover’s internal rib is toward the back of the nozzle.
4) Reinstall the Cap until it bottoms out on its shoulder.
5) Reinstall or reposition the Adjusting Screw if it has been moved from its original
location.
6) Flow nozzle to check performance of slow closer. Adjust as needed (see
section 5.1.4.2).
8.0 APPROVALS
Many nozzle congurations carry the FM Approval rating, NFPA certication, or EN certication.
9.0 COLOR CODED VALVE HANDLE AND PISTOL GRIP
The TFT G-FORCE 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” allen wrench when
replacing screws. Pistol grip is replaceable by following TFT instruction sheet LTT-108.
For standardization NFPA 1901 (A-4-9.3) recommends the following color code scheme:
Preconnect #1 or Bumper Jump Line
Preconnect or discharge #2
Preconnect or discharge #3
Preconnect or discharge #4
Preconnect or discharge #5
Preconnect or discharge #6
