1. 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 Z535.6-211, 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 CAUTION NOTICE WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury. 2. SAFETY The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times. An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and can result in injury, death, or loss of property. See flow graphs or call 8-348-2686 for assistance. DANGER WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING CAUTION CAUTION NOTICE Injury or death may occur by attempting to use a damaged monitor. Before using the monitor inspect it for damage resulting from: Failure to drain monitor followed by exposure to freezing conditions Exposure of monitor to temperatures in excess of 16 degrees F Structural damage caused by over-pressurization Missing parts, physical abuse, exposure to severe chemicals Deformed or cracked flanges damaged as a result of improper installation - Excessive bolt torque - Wrong tightening sequence Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of supporting 15 lbs (475 kg) of nozzle reaction force. The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage. Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction before water to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream. The monitor may be damaged if frozen while containing sufficient amounts of water. Such damage may be difficult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. Any time the monitor is subject to possible damage from freezing, it must be hydrostatically tested by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use. This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Their use for other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and training to reduce risk of injury. Maximum flow and pressure is 125 gpm (48 l/min) and 25 psi (17 bar). Damage or injury may result if the monitor is operated beyond these limits. On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Be sure there is sufficient clearance to safely pass under any doors or overhead obstructions. Always check parked position of the monitor before moving. To prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment. 4

3. GENERAL INFORMATION The Task Force Tips Protector is a simple and rugged fi xed station monitor with many unique features. Its patented waterway gives low friction loss and delivers water to the nozzle with fewer twists and turns than a conventional monitor. The optional built-in on/ off valve with position indicator eliminates the need to add a costly valve to the monitor installation. The Protector is capable of fl owing up to 125 gpm (48 l/min) while maintaining a FULL 36 rotational ability. The lever-action rotational lock is activated in one motion, visually confi rmed, and securely holds the monitor s horizontal position. The Protector can be directly bolted to many common pipe fl anges. The outlet is available with various 2.5 (65mm) male threads. The simple and basic design requires no grease application or other maintenance. Swiveling elements and seals (including valve seat) can be replaced within a few minutes with common hand tools. All models are equipped with an automatic drain valve to fully evacuate the monitor and optional on/off valve after each use. A threaded pipe port (1/4 NPT) (6mm) is provided for pressure gauge installation. Maximum pressure is 25 psi (17 bar). The Protector is hard anodized ANSI 356-T6 aluminum and is fully powder coat fi nished inside and out. Swivel clamps, 3 (75mm) valve ball, trunnions, and hardware are 18-8 stainless steel. 3.1 VARIOUS MODELS AND TERMS The Protector monitor is available in several different models and inlet connections. The two body styles are shown in fi gures 3.1A and 3.1B below.

4. INSTALLATION The Protector station monitor is installed to a riser pipe by a bolted fl ange joint. Verify that no interference exists between the Protector and surrounding hardware that would limit its usefulness. If a valve is to be mounted under the Protector, verify that no interference exists with the valve handle. If a butterfl y valve is to be mounted under the Protector, verify that no interference exists between the butterfl y and the fl anged base of the Protector when the valve is in its open position. 4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS The structure that the Protector station monitor is mounted to must withstand the internal pressure of the monitor as well as shear and bending forces due to nozzle reaction. Nozzle reaction can be as high as 15 lbs (48 kg) (125 gpm at 25 psi). For fl anged connections the use of fl at fl anges without raised faces is recommended. Use a ring gasket as defi ned in ASME 16.21 or ISO 7483. Tighten fl ange bolts in an alternating sequence as shown in fi gure 4.1A. Tighten sequentially each bolt or stud three times with 3%, then 6%, and fi nally 1% of the specifi ed torque in fi gure 4.1B. 1 5 1 8 3 4 3 4 2 7 2 6 Tighten Sequentially Each Bolt Three Times.

The monitor mount must be capable WARNING of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 15 lbs (48 kg). Flanges and pipe made from plastic are inadequate for monitor mounting and must not be used. This monitor is not recommended for portable use. 4.2 NOZZLE INSTALLATION The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor s exit threads until it bottoms out and compresses the rubber gasket. The nozzle threads must match the threads of the Protector monitor in both size and type. CAUTION Mismatched or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and could cause injury. CAUTION Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of thread engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the effects of corrosion can be greatly delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing, or silicone grease. 8

4.3 PRESSURE GAGE There is a ¼ NPT female threaded hole adjacent to the elevation swivel, as shown in Figure 4.3. The hole is plugged from the factory. If a pressure gage is desired, unscrew the plug and install the gage using pipe sealant. Make sure the gage does not interfere with operation. Pressure Gage Port 1/4" NPT Handle Mounting Screw Fig 4.3 Pressure Gage Port and Handle Mounting Screw 4.4 HANDLE INSTALLATION The tiller handle is shipped loose from the monitor and must be installed to complete the installation process. When installing the tiller handle, be sure to coat the threads of the mounting screw with the Loctite supplied in the hardware packet. Handle mounting screw location is shown in Figure 4.3. 4.5 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER All monitors, valves and standpipes exposed to freezing conditions must be drained immediately NOTICE following use to prevent damage. To drain a standpipe, a drainage port must be opened underground below the frost depth to keep water out of the standpipe until the next use. All Protector station monitors are equipped with an automatic drain valve attached to a port located just above the valve seat and/ or lower seal. The automatic drain valve ensures the monitor is completely drained following use, which minimizes susceptibility to damage from corrosion and freezing water. The drain valve seal membrane is designed to close automatically when pressure exceeds 5 psi. When pressure drops below 5 psi, the seal membrane will open to allow drainage. If the automatic drain valve is omitted or disabled, then the monitor must be manually drained after use to prevent damage. 5. OPERATION 5.1 VALVE OPERATION For models equipped with a built-in valve, the fl ow is OFF when the valve handle is horizontal and ON when the handle is vertical. Parts are manufactured so that the valve cannot be assembled out of phase. A position indicator shows the valves position as OFF or ON. The position that the valve is normally left in will depend upon your particular location s standard operating procedure. Operate the valve slowly to reduce water hammer. 9

5.2 HORIZONTAL ROTATION CONTROL The Protector can rotate from side to side on its swivel base. Lift the rotation lock lever and rotate the monitor right or left using the directional control handle (see fi gure 5.2). To lock the monitor in position, depress the rotation lock lever. A small spring holds the rotation lock lever in the unlocked position when it is disengaged. When the monitor is not in use, the rotation lock lever should be kept in the locked position. Elevation Lock Apply Force Here to Change Elevation Apply Force Here to Change Horizontal Orientation Rotation Lock Fig 5.2 Rotation & Elevation Control 5.3 ELEVATION CONTROL The up and down direction (elevation) of the stream is changed by pushing or pulling vertically on the direction control handle (see fi gure 5.2). Twisting the elevation locking knob clockwise will increase the drag on the upper swivel joint to lock the monitor at a particular elevation. Select discharge devices that do not exceed the 7 ft-lb locking capability of the elevation lock. For a typical fog nozzle, the maximum allowable weight works out to be about 4 lbs (18.1 kg). Injury can result from the monitor changing direction due to an off center nozzle reaction. An off CAUTION center nozzle reaction may be caused by debris in the nozzle causing an asymmetrical stream. Always keep the rotation lock tight when not rotating the monitor. Always keep one hand on the tiller handle when loosening the locking knob. 6. FLOW CHARACTERISTICS 6.1 AUTOMATIC NOZZLES Automatic nozzles maintain a constant pressure by adjusting their orifi ce to match the available fl ow. Consult the nozzle manufacturer for maximum fl ow and pressure range. In all cases do not exceed 125 gpm (48 LPM) and 25 psi (17 bar). 1

6.3 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS 6.3.1 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIPS Turbulence though the Protector station monitor is very low but stream quality and reach can be improved with the use of the integral stream straightener on the TFT stacked tip nozzle. OK 6.3.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES When using a fog nozzle it is recommended that no stream straightener be used since the fog nozzle s fl ow path generally serves as a stream straightener. Use of a stream straightener with a fog nozzle will increase the stresses on the elevation locking clamp due to the greater cantilevered weight. Select discharge devices that do not exceed the 7 ft-lb locking capability of the elevation lock. NO 14
