1.2 THREADED JOINTS
Threaded joints have been secured at the factory using Loctite brand red or blue thread locking adhesive.
• Disassembly of joints where red Loctite is used requires a minimal application of heat with an oxyacetylene torch to break the bond.
• The threads should be heated to approximately 450°F. Excessive heat application will cause damage to adjacent seals and labels.
• Replacement parts must be reinstalled using either red or blue Loctite where specified, or equivalent. Small vials of Loctite for field
service are available. Order part V5010 (Loctite #271 Red Mini Dispenser) or VSA-125 (Loctite #242 Blue Mini Dispenser).
• Threads must be clean, dry, and free of grease or oil when applying Loctite.
• Allow Loctite to set up for at least one hour before using or subjecting to water.
1.3 LUBRICANTS
If parts are disassembled in an area where O-rings are present, apply Molykote #112 High Performance Silicone Grease on all O-rings
and surfaces that the O-rings contact before reassembling. If nozzle is not disassembled, refer to the field lubrication procedure in the
nozzle manual.
1.4 LABEL REPLACEMENT
If labels become damaged, remove old labels with razor knife. Remove adhesive with acetone or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Surface
must be clean, dry, and free from grease. Remove protective backing and carefully apply new label.
1.5 ORDERING PARTS
Always specify the serial number of the nozzle when ordering parts. The serial number is found on the INDEX RING. Be sure to use
complete DESCRIPTION and PART #, as printed on parts list. All requests for couplings must specify thread size. Pricing information will
be given at time of order.

Maintenance and Service Procedure
It is the responsibility of service technicians to ensure the use of appropriate protective clothing
and equipment. The chosen protective clothing and equipment must provide protection from
potential hazards users may encounter while servicing equipment. Requirements for protective
clothing and equipment are determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
After any maintenance or service, equipment must be inspected and tested for proper operation
and function per NFPA 1962 test procedures and the FLOW CHARACTERISTICS and OPERATION
and INSPECTION CHECKLIST in the operator manual.
This publication is intended for those who prefer to perform service on their own equipment.
Factory service is available and repair time seldom exceeds one day in our facility. Factory serviced
nozzles are repaired by experienced technicians, fully tested, and promptly returned functioning to
original specifications. Task Force Tips assumes no liability for damage to equipment or injury to
personnel that is a result of user service.
