6.4 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS

6.4.1 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIPS

Turbulence though the Tornado monitor is very low, but stream quality and reach can be improved with the use of the integral stream

straightener on the TFT stacked tip nozzle. Stream straighteners will add some friction loss as indicated above.

6.4.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES

When using a fog nozzle for flows below 300 gpm (1,100 L/min), it is recommended that no stream straightener be used since the fog

nozzle’s  flow  path  serves  as  a  stream  straightener. Above  300  gpm  (1,100  L/min), TFT’s  5  inch  Stream  Straightener  will  generally

improve a fog nozzle’s stream.

7.0 WARRANTY

Task  Force  Tips  LLC,  3701  Innovation  Way,  Valparaiso,  Indiana  46383-9327  USA  (“TFT”)  warrants  to  the  original  purchaser  of  its

products  (“equipment”),  and  to  anyone  to  whom  it  is  transferred,  that  the  equipment  shall  be  free  from  defects  in  material  and

workmanship during the five (5) year period from the date of purchase. TFT’s obligation under this warranty is specifically limited to

replacing or repairing the equipment (or its parts) which are shown by TFT’s examination to be in a defective condition attributable to

46383-9327 USA, within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect. TFT will examine the equipment. If TFT determines that there is

a defect attributable to it, TFT will correct the problem within a reasonable time. If the equipment is covered by this limited warranty, TFT

will assume the expenses of repair.
If any defect attributable to TFT under this limited warranty cannot be reasonably cured by repair or replacement, TFT may elect to

refund the purchase price of the equipment, less reasonable depreciation, in complete discharge of its obligations under this limited

warranty. If TFT makes this election, claimant shall return the equipment to TFT free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.
This is a limited warranty. The original purchaser of the equipment, any person to whom it is transferred, and any person who is an

intended or unintended beneficiary of the equipment, shall not be entitled to recover from TFT any consequential or incidental damages

for injury to person and/or property resulting from any defective equipment manufactured or assembled by TFT. 
It is agreed and understood that the price stated for the equipment is in part consideration for limiting TFT’s liability. Some states do not

allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.
TFT shall have no obligation under this limited warranty if the equipment is, or has been, misused or neglected (including failure to

provide reasonable maintenance) or if there have been accidents to the equipment or if it has been repaired or altered by someone else.
THIS  IS A  LIMITED  EXPRESS  WARRANTY  ONLY.  TFT  EXPRESSLY  DISCLAIMS  WITH  RESPECT  TO  THE  EQUIPMENT  ALL

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
