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 Task Force Tips SHO-GAUGE is designed for use on standpipes, truck outlets, on the ground, or where having a pressure reading

is advantageous. The In-line SHO-GAUGE incorporates an electronic pressure gauge into a solid aluminum body, with a polymer cap

protecting the gauge from damage. A pitot pickup is built into the casting for an accurate reading of the total pressure in the waterway. 
The 2.5” straight through configuration is available with a pivoting outlet joint that moves ±20° from center for controlling hose kinks on

standpipes with horizontal or vertical discharge. Pivoting outlets reduce the weight of hi-rise packs by eliminating a separate elbow. Fully

pivoting the discharge changes the gauge reading by less than 5 psi (0.3 bar) at 500 gpm (2000 l/min). Models with a rigid outlet (non-

pivoting) are useful for straight in-line applications.
A 1/4” NPT stand-alone gauge is also available for use in tapped existing plumbing, monitor outlets, or any 1/4” NPT tapped pressure

port.
For 2.5” models, an optional drain valve can be purchased to also use the unit as a pressure or air bleed (A1621-KIT) when needed. A

cap and tether can be purchased and added to protect the outlet threads when required.
The  SHO-GAUGE  is  a  fire  ground  electric  pressure  gauge  that  measures  the  pressure  in  a  hose  line  and  transmits  data  using  a

Bluetooth wireless connection. Data is received by a paired device and displayed using a smart phone app. The SHO-GAUGE does not

have a display. Data is automatically transmitted whenever a connection is present, and stops when the user disconnects.
The SHO-GAUGE is intended for intermittent use with clean fire water or solutions of water and foam concentrate. It is not intended for

use with pure foam concentrate, compressed air foam, hydrocarbons, or other types of liquid. The SHO-GAUGE is not intended for

continuous  outdoor  storage,  use  with  heated  fluids,  in  permanently  piped  installations,  24/7  wet  conditions,  or  in  extended  service

conditions (non-fire ground).

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.

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

This device is not rated as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe. Use only in locations 

with adequate ventilation and no hazard of flammable vapor buildup. 

WARNING

Damage or injury could result from operating this equipment beyond the specified operating 

pressure. Do not operate the device at pressures higher than the maximum operating pressure 

stated in the specification section. 

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. 

NOTICE

To prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment.
