2.3 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Maximum inlet pressure with valve shut off

560 psi

40 bar

Operating temperature range of fl uid

33 to 120º F

1 to 50º C

Storage temperature range

-40 to 150º F

-40 to 65º C

Materials used

Aluminum 6000 series hard anodized MIL8625 class 
3 type 2, stainless steel 300 series, nylon 6-6, nitrile 
rubber, Torlon 4301 PAI

3.0  USE WITH SALTWATER

Use with saltwater is permissible provided nozzle is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the 
nozzle may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.

4.0  FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
4.1  FIXED FLOW

A fi xed fl ow G-Force nozzle has one fi xed discharge orifi ce and a fl ush setting. A fi xed fl ow G-Force is fl ush able with the selector 
ring.

4.2  SELECTABLE FLOW

A selectable G-Force nozzle has several fi xed discharge orifi ces and a fl ush setting. A particular orifi ce is selected by rotating the 
selector ring. Figure 4.2A shows fl ow and pressure graphs for the G-Force Selectable nozzles.
