2.2 COLOR CODED VALVE HANDLE AND PISTOL GRIP
The TFT ULTIMATIC, MID-MATIC & HANDLINE with lever type valve handles are supplied with black valve handle covers and pistol
grips. The handle covers and pistol grips are available from TFT in various colors for those departments wishing to color code the
nozzle to the discharge controls. A colored handle cover set will be sent upon receipt of the warranty card by TFT. Your department’s
name can also be engraved on the covers (see warranty card for more information).
Handle covers are replaceable by removing the four screws that hold the handle covers in place. Use a 3/32” allen wrench when
replacing screws. Pistol grip is replaceable by following TFT instruction sheet LTT-108.
