3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Task  Force Tips  Master  Force  series  automatic  nozzles  operate  by  sensing  the  pressure  at  the  nozzle  inlet  and  adjusting  the

discharge opening to  maintain a constant  pressure throughout the  flow range of the nozzle. The Master Force operates at  either a

standard or low pressure as selected by the nozzle operator. 
The Master Force are deluge nozzles with clean, far reaching straight stream capability. Stream pattern can be varied from straight

stream to a dense, wide fog pattern. Turning the shaper past the wide fog setting allows flushing the nozzle of debris without shutting

down flow. The Master Force nozzles are intended for use on fixed or portable monitors.

3.1 VARIOUS MODELS AND TERMS

Master-Force nozzles are available in several different models and inlet connections. Basic body styles are shown below.
