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 reghting 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:

3.1 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided nozzle is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the nozzle
may be shortened due to the eects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.
