1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

A safety related message is identiﬁ ed by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular

hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.6-2011, the deﬁ nitions of the four signal words are as follows:

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.

2.0 SAFETY

The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must be observed at all times.

DANGER An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or ﬂ ow will cause an ineﬀ ective stream and can

result in injury, death, or loss of property. See ﬂ ow graphs or call 800-348-2686 for assistance.

WARNING Injury or death may occur by attempting to use a damaged monitor. Before using the monitor

inspect it for damage resulting from:

• Failure to drain monitor followed by exposure to freezing conditions

• Exposure of monitor to temperatures in excess of 160 degrees F

• Structural damage caused by over-pressurization

• Missing parts, physical abuse, exposure to severe chemicals

• Deformed or cracked ﬂ anges damaged as a result of improper installation

- Excessive bolt torque

- Wrong tightening sequence

WARNING Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of

supporting 1050 lbs (475 kg) of nozzle reaction force.

WARNING The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.

Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction before

water to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream.

WARNING The monitor may be damaged if frozen while containing suﬃ cient amounts of water. Such damage

may be diﬃ cult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. Any time the monitor is

subject to possible damage from freezing, it must be hydrostatically tested by qualiﬁ ed personnel

before being considered safe for use.

WARNING This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for ﬁ reﬁ ghting. Their use for other

purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and

training to reduce risk of injury.

CAUTION Maximum ﬂ ow and pressure is 1250 gpm (4800 l/min) and 250 psi (17 bar). Damage or injury may

result if the monitor is operated beyond these limits.

CAUTION On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Be sure there

is suﬃ cient clearance to safely pass under any doors or overhead obstructions. Always check

parked position of the monitor before moving.

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

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.

3.1 VARIOUS MODELS AND TERMS

4.0 INSTALLATION

The Protector station monitor is installed to a riser pipe by a bolted ﬂ ange joint. Verify that no interference exists between the

Protector and surrounding hardware that would limit its usefulness. If a valve is to be mounted under the Protector, verify that no

interference exists with the valve handle. If a butterﬂ y valve is to be mounted under the Protector, verify that no interference exists

between the butterﬂ y and the ﬂ anged base of the Protector when the valve is in its open position.

4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS

The structure that the Protector station monitor is mounted to must withstand the internal pressure of the monitor as well as shear

and bending forces due to nozzle reaction. Nozzle reaction can be as high as 1050 lbs (480 kg) (1250 gpm at 250 psi).

For ﬂ anged connections the use of ﬂ at ﬂ anges without raised faces is recommended. Use a ring gasket as deﬁ ned in ASME 16.21 or

ISO 7483. Tighten ﬂ ange bolts in an alternating sequence as shown in ﬁ gure 4.1A. Tighten sequentially each bolt or stud three times

with 30%, then 60%, and ﬁ nally 100% of the speciﬁ ed torque in ﬁ gure 4.1B.

ighten Sequentially Each Bolt Three Times.

Flange Speciﬁ cations

WARNING Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable

of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 1050 lbs (480 kg). Flanges and

pipe made from plastic are inadequate for monitor mounting and must not be used. This monitor

is not recommended for portable use.

4.2 NOZZLE INSTALLATION

The nozzle is simply screwed onto the monitor’s exit threads until it bottoms out and compresses the rubber gasket.

CAUTION The nozzle threads must match the threads of the Protector monitor in both size and type.

Mismatched or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and

could cause injury.

CAUTION Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together

can cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of

thread engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the eﬀ ects of corrosion can

be greatly delayed by various coatings on the metal such as powder paint, hard anodizing, or

silicone grease.

4.3 PRESSURE GAGE

There is a ¼” NPT female threaded hole adjacent to the elevation swivel, as shown in Figure 4.3. The hole is plugged from the

factory. If a pressure gage is desired, unscrew the plug and install the gage using pipe sealant. Make sure the gage does not interfere

with operation.

Pressure Gage Port 1/4" NP

Handle Mounting Screw

Fig 4.3

Pressure Gage Port and Handle Mounting Screw

4.4 HANDLE INSTALLATION

The tiller handle is shipped loose from the monitor and must be installed to complete the installation process. When installing the

tiller handle, be sure to coat the threads of the mounting screw with the Loctite supplied in the hardware packet. Handle mounting

screw location is shown in Figure 4.3.

4.5 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER

NOTICE All monitors, valves and standpipes exposed to freezing conditions must be drained immediately

following use to prevent damage. To drain a standpipe, a drainage port must be opened

underground below the frost depth to keep water out of the standpipe until the next use.

All Protector station monitors are equipped with an automatic drain valve attached to a port located just above the valve seat and/

or lower seal. The automatic drain valve ensures the monitor is completely drained following use, which minimizes susceptibility

to damage from corrosion and freezing water. The drain valve seal membrane is designed to close automatically when pressure

exceeds 5 psi. When pressure drops below 5 psi, the seal membrane will open to allow drainage. If the automatic drain valve is

omitted or disabled, then the monitor must be manually drained after use to prevent damage.

5.0 OPERATION

5.1 VALVE OPERATION

For models equipped with a built-in valve, the ﬂ ow is OFF when the valve handle is horizontal and ON when the handle is vertical.

Parts are manufactured so that the valve cannot be assembled out of phase. A position indicator shows the valves position as “OFF”

or “ON”. The position that the valve is normally left in will depend upon your particular location’s standard operating procedure.

Operate the valve slowly to reduce water hammer.

5.2 HORIZONTAL ROTATION CONTROL

The Protector can rotate from side to side on its swivel base. Lift the rotation lock lever and rotate the monitor right or left using the

directional control handle (see ﬁ gure 5.2). To lock the monitor in position, depress the rotation lock lever. A small spring holds the

rotation lock lever in the unlocked position when it is disengaged. When the monitor is not in use, the rotation lock lever should be

kept in the locked position.

Rotation & Elevation Control

5.3 ELEVATION CONTROL

The up and down direction (elevation) of the stream is changed by pushing or pulling vertically on the direction control handle (see

ﬁ gure 5.2). Twisting the elevation locking knob clockwise will increase the drag on the upper swivel joint to “lock” the monitor at a

particular elevation. Select discharge devices that do not exceed the 70 ft-lb locking capability of the elevation lock.

For a typical fog nozzle, the maximum allowable weight works out to be about 40 lbs (18.1 kg).

CAUTION Injury can result from the monitor changing direction due to an oﬀ center nozzle reaction. An oﬀ

center nozzle reaction may be caused by debris in the nozzle causing an asymmetrical stream.

Always keep the rotation lock tight when not rotating the monitor. Always keep one hand on the

tiller handle when loosening the locking knob.

6.0 FLOW CHARACTERISTICS

6.1 AUTOMATIC NOZZLES

Automatic nozzles maintain a constant pressure by adjusting their oriﬁ ce to match the available ﬂ ow. Consult the nozzle manufacturer

for maximum ﬂ ow and pressure range. In all cases do not exceed 1250 gpm (4800 LPM) and 250 psi (17 bar).
