Model ZCF1T3

integrated with

TFT Hydrant Under Monitor

and TFT Monsoon Monitor

Model ZCH1T1-OSC

for attachment to Hydrants,

Valves and Monitors with
4" ANSI 150 connections

Model ZCH1TQ

integrated with

TFT Industrial Valve Under Monitor and
4.5" NH Quick Connect for TFT monitor

HYDROSTATIC PROOF TEST:

 800 psi (55 bar)*

*Do not exceed the rated operating pressure of 200 psi (14 bar).

Per FM 1421 the hydrostatic proof test is performed on a sample

valve  to  ensure  it  does  not  visibly  rupture,  crack  or  permanently

distort at 4 times the rated operating pressure. The purpose of the

proof  test  is  to  be  confident  the  valve  design  may  be  safely

operated at the rated operating pressure.

RATED OPERATING PRESSURE:

 200 PSI (14 BAR)

SAFE OPERATING RANGE FOR MONITOR OUTLET: 

Booster and Booster OSC: 2000 gpm @ 200 psi         

(8000 l/min @ 14 bar). 
Booster only (not OSC): 2500 gpm @ 130 psi              

(9500 l/min @ 9 bar).
