3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Task Force Tips Protector is a simple and rugged fi xed station monitor with many unique features. Its patented waterway gives
low friction loss and delivers water to the nozzle with fewer twists and turns than a conventional monitor. The optional built-in on/
off valve with position indicator eliminates the need to add a costly valve to the monitor installation. The Protector is capable of
fl owing up to 1250 gpm (4800 l/min) while maintaining a FULL 360° rotational ability. The lever-action rotational lock is activated in
one motion, visually confi rmed, and securely holds the monitor’s horizontal position. The Protector can be directly bolted to many
common pipe fl anges. The outlet is available with various 2.5” (65mm) male threads. The simple and basic design requires no grease
application or other maintenance. Swiveling elements and seals (including valve seat) can be replaced within a few minutes with
common hand tools. All models are equipped with an automatic drain valve to fully evacuate the monitor and optional on/off valve
after each use. A threaded pipe port (1/4” NPT) (6mm) is provided for pressure gauge installation. Maximum pressure is 250 psi
(17 bar). The Protector is hard anodized ANSI 356-T6 aluminum and is fully powder coat fi nished inside and out. Swivel clamps, 3”
(75mm) valve ball, trunnions, and hardware are 18-8 stainless steel.
