Description
VARSHA 40U, is fixed gallonage master stream nozzle, designed for heavy-duty use on fixed monitors. The nozzle is factory set of flow 500, 750 or 1000 GPM. The flow can also be changed in the field by replacing plunger or addition of spacer. The flow pattern is easily changeable under flowing condition. Excellent for AFFF application when used with premixed waterfoam solution. The straight stream from maximum reach can be easily changed to wide fog pattern under flow condition by rotation of the nozzle pattern adjustment sleeve.
The performance data shown in this catalogue is effective stream trajectory in stand still air condition. The maximum overall reach of last water drop is approximately 3-5% more than the effective stream performance data given. The jet stream may get effected considerably with tail or head wind. MAINTENANCE The nozzle must be inspected regularly for possible damage or dirt around the moving parts. If any
abnormal conditions are observed such as poor discharge, excessive wear, water leak, corrosion effect, damage etc., then nozzle must be taken out of service and repaired by qualified technician or replaced. The debris trapped in the nozzle may effect the nozzle performance. To remove trapped debris, the water flow must be stopped and thereafter, carefully unscrew and remove the nozzle deflector. Clean the nozzle and reassemble. While re-assembling the nozzle or as a normal preventive maintenance, water proof lubricant must be used on seal and moving parts for smooth operation. The nozzle must be operated periodically under full flow straight stream and for fog pattern.
Under normal condition water must be flown through the nozzle periodically and dirt around exterior moving parts must be cleaned, llowing nozzle to operate properly. The nozzle must be inspected prior to and after each use. Greasing the moving parts and ‘O’ ring is
required periodically. Over a time the seals may need to be replaced. The owner is responsible for maintenance of the nozzle in proper operating condition. After use with foam, nozzle to be flushed with fresh water. If nozzle is used with salt water, sea water or very
hard water, then flush it with fresh water after use to avoid any salt deposition on the surface. CAUTION A trained personnel for fire fighting, with appropriate guidance & training must use the product to reduce the risk or injury. The nozzle must be fixed to the
monitor carefully. The mismatched or damaged threads may cause leakage or uncouple the nozzle during operation. Application of water or foam on an electric appliance can cause serious injury by electrocution, as water is a conductor of electricity. The water supply to the nozzle must be gradual. Sudden surge of water supply must be avoided. The monitor mounting must be supported properly to support the nozzle reaction force.
NOTE:
The Nozzle is UL-Listed with HD Monitor VAJRA 331 and Oscillating Monitor VAJRA 331-S, for premixed water foam solution, non-inducting Foam Nozzle
