9.1 IMPULSE TRIGGER VALVE SYSTEM NOZZLE COLORED PISTOL GRIPS
Pistol Grip Cover
Cap
(1/2 in square drive)
Adjusting Screw
(3/16 in Allen Wrench)
The TFT Impulse Trigger Valve System nozzles are supplied with
black pistol grip covers. The pistol grip covers are available from
TFT in various colors for those departments wishing to color code
the nozzle to the discharge controls. Follow the steps below to
change the pistol grip cover.
1) Orient nozzle vertically. This keeps the dampening fl uid in
the pistol grip from spilling out.
2) Remove the Cap. (1/2 in square drive) The Adjusting Screw
(3/16 in Allen Wrench) may need to be turned in or removed
to be able to engage the square pocket in the cap. Note the
position of the Adjusting Screw before moving it.
3) Slide off the Pistol Grip Cover and install a new one. Be sure
the Pistol Grip Cover’s internal rib is toward the back of the
nozzle.
4) Reinstall the Cap until it bottoms out on its shoulder.
5) Reinstall or reposition the Adjusting Screw if it has been
moved from its original location.
6) Flow nozzle to check performance of slow closer. Adjust as
needed (see section 5.1.4).
