2.2 NOZZLE COUPLING
NH (National Hose Threads per NFPA #1963) threads are standard on all nozzles. Other threads such as NPSH (National Pipe
Straight Hose threads per ANSI/ASME #B1.20.7) can be specified at time of order.
CAUTION
Nozzle must be mated to a hose line with matched threads. Mismatched or damaged threads may
cause nozzle to leak or uncouple from hose under pressure and could cause injury.
CAUTION
Do not couple aluminum to brass. Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion
that can result in inability to unscrew threads or complete loss of thread engagement.
2.3 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.
For standardization NFPA 1901 (A-4-9.3) recommends the following color code scheme:
Preconnect #1 or Bumper Jump Line
Preconnect or discharge #2
Preconnect or discharge #3
Preconnect or discharge #4
Preconnect or discharge #5
