1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular
hazard. Per ANSI Z535.6, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:
2.0 SAFETY
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The 4.5” Quick Connect allows a monitor or elbow to be quickly and easily installed, removed and replaced. Applications include front
bumper mounts for tilt-cab chassis maintenance, and sharing monitors between multiple standpipes. A ratcheting pull pin prevents
loosening of 4.5”NH threads due to vibration. The elbow may be used to supply a fire pump in lieu of a hydrant.
Maximum operating pressure for elbow is 300 psi (20 bar), with a hydrostatic proof test pressure of 900 psi (62 bar). See monitor
instruction manuals for maximum operating pressure of Monsoon, Typhoon, and Hurricane series monitors.

3.2 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided the equipment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the
equipment may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion, and is not covered under warranty.
DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.
DANGER
An inadequate supply of pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and can result
in injury or death. Choose operating conditions to deliver adequate fire suppression. See flow
graphs.
WARNING
This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Use of this equipment for
other purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and
training to reduce risk of injury.
WARNING
The stream exiting a nozzle is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.
Make sure the nozzle is securely attached and pointing in a safe direction before water is turned on.
Do not direct water stream to cause injury or damage to persons or property.
WARNING
Equipment may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of water. Such damage
may be difficult to detect visually. Subsequent pressurization can lead to injury or death. Any time
the equipment is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be tested and approved for
use by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use.
