CAUTION
Mismatched or damaged waterway connections may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under
pressure. Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched connections.
CAUTION
Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability to
uncouple the connection, or complete loss of engagement over time. Failure could cause injury. Per
NFPA 1962, if dissimilar metals are left coupled together, an anti-corrosive lubricant should be
applied to the connection and the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least
quarterly.
