• Swivel Coupling: Includes a 2.5″ NH swivel for secure attachment
• Force Neutralization: Neutralizes the tremendous force of discharge water when used with the Little Hose Monster™

Installation and Usage

Installation

1. Prepare the Little Hose Monster™: Ensure the Little Hose Monster™ is in good condition and ready for use.
2. Attach the Flushing Nozzle:
   1. Align the Threads: Position the nozzle’s swivel coupling with the Little Hose Monster™ outlet.
   2. Securely Fasten: Twist the nozzle onto the outlet, ensuring a tight and secure fit. Use a wrench if needed to ensure it is firmly attached.

Usage

1. Connect to Water Source: Attach the Little Hose Monster™ with the Flushing Nozzle to the water source, such as a hydrant or test header valve.
2. Open Water Source: Slowly open the water source to begin flushing. The nozzle will neutralize the force of the discharge water, ensuring safe and controlled flushing.
3. Monitor Flushing: Observe the flushing process to ensure it is effective and safe.

Applications

• Flushing Operations: Ideal for flushing tasks where flow-rate measurement is not required
• Hydrant Flushing: Effective for hydrant flushing to maintain water quality and system integrity
• Unidirectional Flushing: Suitable for unidirectional flushing operations

Maintenance and Storage

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the nozzle for signs of wear or damage. Clean the nozzle to remove any debris that may affect performance.
• Lubrication: Apply lubricant to the swivel coupling to ensure smooth operation.

Storage

• Dry and Cool Place: Store the nozzle in a dry, cool place to prevent corrosion.
• Secure Storage: Ensure the nozzle is securely fastened to prevent damage during storage.

Safety Precautions

1. Secure Attachment: Ensure the nozzle is securely attached to the Little Hose Monster™ and the water source. Loose connections can lead to dangerous thrust and uncontrolled water discharge.
2. Clear the Area: Make sure the area around the flushing operation is clear of obstacles and personnel. High-velocity water discharge can be hazardous.
3. Wear Safety Gear: Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, to protect yourself from potential injuries caused by high-pressure water.
4. Monitor Pressure: Keep an eye on the water pressure during flushing. Excessive pressure can cause damage to the nozzle and surrounding equipment.
5. Avoid Direct Attachment to Unsecured Hoses: Do NOT attach the nozzle directly to the end of an unsecured hose without the Little Hose Monster™. This can result in dangerous thrust and potential injury.
6. Use in Controlled Environments: Perform flushing operations in controlled environments where you can manage the water discharge safely.
7. Regular Maintenance: Regularly inspect the nozzle for signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged parts to ensure safe operation.
