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
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
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.
WARNING
Failure to restrain nozzle reaction can cause injury from loss of footing and/or stream protection.
Opening and closing other nozzles, hose line kinks, changes in pump settings, nozzle pattern, or
flushing will cause changes in nozzle reaction. Nozzle operator must always be prepared in the
event of these changes.
WARNING
If nozzle gets out of control while flowing, violent whipping motion will occur. Serious injury or
death could result. Retreat from the nozzle immediately. Do not attempt to regain control of nozzle
while flowing.
WARNING
Application of water or foam solutions on energized electrical equipment could cause
electrocution. Serious injury or death could result. Assume circuits are energized until confirmed to
be de-energized. Do not apply water or foam to energized electrical equipment.
WARNING
The stream exiting a nozzle is 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.
NOTICE
To prevent mechanical damage, do not drop or throw equipment.

3.3 NOZZLE COUPLINGS
NH (National Hose) threads are standard on all nozzles. Other threads such as NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) may be specified at
time of order.
3.4 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.
4.0 FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
The following graphs show the typical performance of Ultimatic, Mid-Matic, and Handline nozzles.
SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS If nozzles are made according to the special marking or performance requirements of the fire
department, the characteristics may differ from the published data in this manual. Repair parts specific to each serial number may differ
from those shown in the service procedure. The required parts for each serial number are available online by entering tft.com/H123456
with the numbers corresponding to the serial number engraved on the product.
Figure 4.0A
Maximum operating pressure
(with valve shut off)
Ultimatic 800 psi 55 bar
Mid-Matic 300 psi 21 bar
Handline 300 psi 21 bar
Operating temperature range of fluid 33 to 120° F 1 to 50° C
Storage temperature range 40 to 150° F -40 to 65° C
Materials used Aluminum 6000 series hard anodized MIL8625 class 3 type
2, stainless steel 300 series, nylon 6-6, nitrile rubber
CAUTION Mismatched or damaged waterway connections may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under
pressure. Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched connections.
CAUTION Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability to
uncouple the connection, or complete loss of engagement over time. Failure could cause injury. Per
NFPA 1962, if dissimilar metals are left coupled together, an anti-corrosive lubricant should be
applied to the connection and the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least
quarterly.
