4.3 NOZZLE INSTALLATION

The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads. 

CAUTION

The nozzle threads must match the threads of the monitor elbow in both size and type. Mismatched 

or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and could cause 

injury.

CAUTION

Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together 

can cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of thread 

engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the effects of corrosion can be greatly 

delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing, or silicone grease.

This  raised  boss  is  not  machined  from  the  factory 

but may be drilled and tapped for ¼ NPT threads if a 

pressure gage is desired on the monitor.
