1. Handling
The monitor should be lifted by a strap around the monitor body casting. Lifting the
monitor by nozzle, tiller handle, valve handle, or lock handles could result in damage.
If lifting by hand, no less than two people should lift the monitor, one lifting by the
inlet flange, and the other lifting by the monitor body. The monitor with stream shaper
and nozzle weighs approximately 120 pounds so care and proper lifting techniques
should be used to avoid injury.
2. 3” 150# Flat Faced Flange
Attach a 3" 150 lb. class ANSI pattern companion flange to the water supply pipe.
Elkhart Brass recommends using the 81315001 Companion Flange Kit Attach the
monitor inlet flange to the companion flange on the water supply pipe with four (4)
5/8-11 UNC grade 5 carbon steel or stainless steel bolts, 2-1/2 inches long, with nuts.
If a wafer type butterfly valve is installed between the monitor and the companion
flange, required bolt length will be 4-1/2 inches. Seal the flange joint with a gasket,
or suitable flange sealant. Most wafer type butterfly valves have seats that serve as
flange gaskets, and separate gaskets or sealant is not required. Apply Loctite® #242
to the bolt threads, then thread on the nuts, and torque them to 60-70 ft-lbs uniformly
in increments of approximately 20ft-lbs.
3. 4” 150# Flat Faced Flange

Brass recommends using the 81317001 Companion Flange Kit. Attach monitor inlet
flange to companion flange on water supply pipe with eight (8) 5/8-11 UNC grade 5
carbon steel or stainless steel bolts, 2-1/2 inches long, with nuts. If a wafer type
butterfly valve is installed between the monitor and the companion flange, required
bolt length will be 4-1/2 inches. Seal flange joint with gasket, or suitable flange
sealant. Most wafer type butterfly valves have seats that serve as flange gaskets,
and separate gaskets or sealant is not required. Apply Loctite® #242 to bolt threads,
then thread on nuts, and torque to 60-70 ft-lbs uniformly in increments of
approximately 20ft-lbs.
