Periodically, an unanticipated incident may occur where the nozzle is used in a manner that is inconsistent with
standard operating practices and those listed in IFSTA. A partial list of potential misuses follows:
• Operating above maximum rated pressure and flow.
• Not draining, and allowing water to freeze inside nozzle.
• Dropping nozzle from a height where damage is incurred.
• Prolonged exposures to temperatures above +130°F, or below -25°F.
• Operating in a corrosive environment.
• Other misuse that might be unique to your specific firefighting environment.
Also, there are many "tell tale" signs that indicate nozzle is in order, such as:
• Controls that are either inoperable or difficult to operate.
• Excessive wear.
• Poor discharge performance.
• Water leaks.
If any of the above situations are encountered, the nozzle should be taken out of service and repaired, plus tested by qualified nozzle technicians, prior to
placing it back into service.
•
Under normal conditions, periodically flushing the nozzle with clean water and cleaning grit and dirt from around
exterior moving parts will allow the nozzle to operate as designed.
•
Over time the seals and turbine teeth, if applicable, may need replaced. This can be accomplished by purchasing the
appropriate Akron repair kit. Use qualified maintenance mechanics or return the nozzle to Akron Brass for repair.
•
The turbine teeth should be replaced if more than 30% of the teeth are damaged or if the ring does not spin freely.
•
Regularly check the baffle screw to be sure it is tight.
•
Use Low-temp Lubriplate on metal parts and Parker O-Ring lubricant on O-Rings.
