4.0 INSTALLATION

See Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions For Use With Hurricane RC Models
Make sure that the area around the monitor is free from obstructions which would limit its range of motion and usefulness. If a valve
is mounted under the Hurricane, make sure the monitor will not interfere with the valve handle. If a butterfl y valve is mounted under
the monitor make sure that the butterfl y valve assembly does not interfere with the fl anged base of the Hurricane.

4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITOR MOUNTING

The structure that the Hurricane 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 760 lbs (340 kg) (1250 gpm at 130 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 4.1. Tighten to 76-80 ft-lb (100-110 Newton-
Meters).
WARNING

4.1.1 WATER SUPPLY

The HURRICANE Monitor is mounted on a riser pipe by a bolted fl ange joint. Make sure that the area around the monitor is free
from obstructions which would limit its range of motion and usefulness. If a valve is mounted under the HURRICANE, make sure
the monitor will not interfere with the valve handle. If a butterfl y valve is mounted under the monitor make sure that the butterfl y
valve assembly does not interfere with the fl anged base of the HURRICANE.

Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable
of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 760 lbs (340 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.
