FLOW CHARACTERISTICS

The following graphs show the typical performance of MID-FORCE, CAFS-FORCE and DUAL-FORCE nozzles.
SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS - If nozzles are made according to the special marking or performance requirements of the fi re
department then the operating characteristics may differ from the published data in this manual. Repair parts specifi c to each serial
number may differ from those shown in the service procedure. The required parts for each serial number are available on-line by
entering www.tft.123456 with the numbers corresponding to the serial number engraved on the product.

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.
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.
