3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Task Force Tips Max-Force and Max-Matic nozzles are automatic pressure control nozzles. Automatic nozzles operate by
sensing the pressure at the nozzle’s inlet and adjusting the discharge opening to maintain a constant pressure throughout the ow
range of the nozzle. While owing, the stream pattern can be varied from wide fog to straight stream. Trapped debris can be removed
while owing.
All Max Series nozzles are constructed of hardcoat anodized aluminum and UV resistant rubber. This rugged construction is
compatible with the use of fresh water as well as reghting foam solutions. The Max-Force and Mid-Matic are intended for use on
xed or portable monitors. The coupling on the nozzle does not rotate, but can be removed for service.
The Max-Force operates at either a standard or low pressure as selected by the nozzle operator. The Max-Matic operates at a single
pressure for a given ow range. The Max-Flow is rated at a xed gallonage nozzle. Available pressures are as follows:
