  • Page 4: Meaning Of Safety Signal Words

    1.0 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 Z535.6, the defi nitions of the four signal words are as follows: DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious DANGER injury.

  • Page 5: General Information

    3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION The Task Force Tips Masterstream 4000 ER Series deluge nozzles have a clean, far reaching straight stream capability and are available with automatic pressure control or selectable gallonage. While fl owing, the stream pattern can be varied from wide fog to straight stream.

  • Page 6: Specifications

    3.4 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.

  • Page 7: Nozzle Operation

    5.0 NOZZLE OPERATION 5.1 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.

  • Page 8: Flow Characteristics

    6.0 FLOW CHARACTERISTICS 6.1 MASTERSTREAM 4000 ER AUTOMATIC Within its fl ow range, the Masterstream 4000 ER automatic nozzle operates at the nominal pressure of 80-120 psi (5.5-8.3 bar, 550- 830 kPa). The following chart shows the typical performance of this nozzle.

  • Page 9: Determining Flow With Pre-Piped Monitors

    6.3 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, 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.

  • Page 10: Stream Trajectory Data

    • Graphs show approximate eff ective 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 tft.com. • Trajectories shown are for water. The addition of foam is expected to decrease the reach by 10%.

  • Page 11: Flushing Debris

    7.0 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: Shut off fl ow to the nozzle Move the stream shaper to the wide fog position.
