5.0 NOZZLE CONTROLS

Nozzle 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.

5.1 FLOW CONTROL
5.1.1 LEVER TYPE FLOW CONTROL

ON

OFF

On models that use a lever type valve handle, the nozzle is
shut oﬀ  when the handle is fully forward. The valve handle
has  5  detented  ﬂ ow  positions.  These  detent  positions
allow  the  nozzle  operator  to  regulate  the  ﬂ ow  of  the
nozzle depending on the need or what can be safely and
eﬀ ectively  handled.  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
eﬀ ective use and ease of advancement, while minimizing
strain and fatigue.

5.1.2 TIP ONLY

ON

OFF

ON

OFF

Tip only nozzles have NO shut-oﬀ valve within the nozzle
and MUST be used with a separate ball valve attached to
the nozzle.

5.1.3 BALL SHUT OFF

Some  models  include  either  an  integrated  ball  valve  or
a separate ball valve for use with Tip Only nozzles. Ball
valves are shut oﬀ  when the valve handle is fully forward.
Pulling back on the handle opens the valve. Open valve
slowly to avoid sudden changes in nozzle reaction. Close
valve  slowly  to  prevent  water  hammer.  Note:  In  partially
open  positions  a  ball  valve  will  cause  turbulence  and
adversely aﬀ ect stream quality. Nozzles attached to an in-
service hose shall be stored in the oﬀ  position.

5.1.4 IMPULSE TRIGGER FLOW CONTROL

NOTE: THE TRIGGER RETURNS TO OFF
IF NOT HELD OR LOCKED

OFF

ON

TRIGGER

LOCK

WARNING

Do not intentionally release the nozzle while ﬂ owing and trust the valve to shut oﬀ automatically.
The trigger nozzle’s ability to shut oﬀ by itself represents an extra level of safety when following
normal nozzle handling procedures. To rely on it as the sole means of safety increases the risk of
injury from an out of control nozzle. Release nozzle when ﬂ ow has stopped.
