5.0 NOZZLE CONTROLS
5.1 REMOVABLE STREAM STRAIGHTENER
Stream quality is generally improved with use of an integral stream straightener at the Flip Tip Inlet. The Flip Tip may be used without
the straightener if so desired.
The removable stream straightener is a standard option for 1.5” connections.
Our 2.5” connections utilize an optimized waterway in place of the stream straightener. If so desired, the straightener can still be used
with a special 2.5” coupling (P198). Contact TFT for details.

water fl ow before changing the front nozzle position to avoid spraying in unintended directions.
