HYDROSTATIC PROOF TEST: 1200 psi (83 bar)**
**Do not exceed the rated operating pressure of 300 psi (21 bar).
The hydrostatic proof test is performed on a sample valve to ensure
it does not visibly rupture, crack or permanently distort at 4 times the
rated operating pressure. The purpose of the proof test is to be
confident the valve design may be safely operated at the rated
operating pressure.

Page 4: Meaning Of Safety Signal Words
MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS A safety related message is identified 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 definitions of the four signal words are as follows: DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. -
Page 5: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION The 4” Industrial Valve Under Monitor (IVUM) is a robust, low friction loss valve intended for installation directly beneath monitors on standpipes with 4” ANSI 150 or DN 100 PN16 flange connections. Dual reflective valve position indicators allow 360 degree visual confirmation from a distance in all light conditions. -

Page 10: Installation
INSTALLATION Mismatched or damaged waterway connections may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under CAUTION pressure. Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched connections. Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability to CAUTION uncouple the connection, or complete loss of engagement over time. -

Page 18: Use On Telescoping Waterways (Aerial Apparatus)
After pressure has been relieved, the internal drain valve allows water and atmospheric air to back flow through the monitor and IVUM to drain the waterway, even if the IVUM remains closed. Then, the internal drain valve allows air to vent out to the atmosphere as the waterway is retracted. -
Page 19: Warranty
WARRANTY Task Force Tips LLC, 3701 Innovation Way, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383-9327 USA (“TFT”) warrants to the original purchaser of its products (“equipment”), and to anyone to whom it is transferred, that the equipment shall be free from defects in material and workmanship during the five (5) year period from the date of purchase for mechanical components, and the two (2) year period from the date of purchase for electrical components. -
