Section 2: Product Description
The FXG2 Tornado Gun
TM
is an air-actuated, dual-trigger waterblast con-
trol gun that is designed for maximum operator safety and field durability.
When used in conjunction with the 40K Remote Control Valve, the opera-
tor is able to build pressure in the system only when both gun triggers are
squeezed simultaneously. When both of the gun triggers are squeezed,
air from the control valve flows to the gun to rotate the barrel and front
nozzle head; an air signal from the gun is then sent back to the 40K Re-
mote Control Valve to close the control valve, which allows high pressure
water to flow to the gun. When either of the gun triggers are released,
the 40K Remote Control Valve “dumps”, or relieves, the high-pressure
water to atmospheric pressure. (See PI-121, 40K Multi-Mode Valve, for
complete instructions.)
The Tornado Gun utilizes a mandrel/seal configuration that can be easily
overhauled in the field. Refer to the chart on page 21 for the replacement
seal for the Tornado Gun.
The Tornado Gun is rated for 40,000 psi maximum operating pressure
and utilizes a 9/16” Type M male inlet connection. The Tornado Gun also
utilizes 1/4” pushlock-type air-hose connections for ease of hose removal
and/or replacement.
