NOTICE
5.1.1 TIP ONLY
Tip Only nozzles have NO shut-off valve within the nozzle and MUST be used with a separate ball valve attached to the nozzle.
5.1.2 LEVER TYPE FLOW CONTROL (BALL VALVE)
Models with a ball valve are shut off when the valve handle is fully forward. Pulling back on the handle opens the valve. TFT
recommends the use of a pistol grip for easier handling. For additional stress reduction, a hose rope or strap may also be used. This
permits more effective use and ease of advancement, while minimizing strain and fatigue.

Control valves must be opened slowly to eliminate unnecessary strain on the hose and couplings,
and reduce pressure surges.
Nozzles attached to an in-service hose shall be stored in the off position.
In partially open positions, a ball valve will cause turbulence and adversely affect stream quality.
