A. 8297 Upper Monitor Assembly
The 8297 Stinger 2.0 ® Portable Monitor is a lightweight dual-purpose monitor. The highly efficient
cast aluminum waterway contains a central vane to minimize large-scale turbulence and provide
superior fire streams. The patented break-apart swivel joint allows one upper assembly to be used with
either of two truck mount adapters or one of the many portable bases. The vertical stream direction is
controlled by a handwheel driving a worm gear. The horizontal stream direction is controlled by
disengaging the left-right lock and moving the return bend by hand. The maximum monitor flow
capacity is 1250 gallons per minute with most base adapters (the clappered Siamese inlet is rated at
1000 GPM).
Stinger 2.0
® monitors are normally supplied with the 282A and ST-194 Stacked Tip combination. The
SM-1250 constant pressure (automatic) type master stream nozzle is also available for use
with the Stinger 2.0 ® .
The following additional features are also provided in the Stinger 2.0
® monitor:
Twist Release Handle and Lock Pin
The twist release handle makes a convenient carrying handle for both the Stinger 2.0 ® upper
and the Stinger 2.0 ®
with a portable base attached. It also provides for a quick conversion from
the deck mode to portable base mode. The lock pin ensures that the user does not accidentally
activate the twist release handle while carrying the Stinger 2.0
® attached to the portable base.
Elevation Safety Stop Pin
The stop pin alerts the operator when the elevation has reached its lowest point before needing
manual over-ride. The manual over-ride should only be used when the Stinger 2.0
® monitor is
attached to the 8298 2.0 or 8299 2.0 deck mount adapters. Using the over-ride while in portable
mode can cause serious injury or death to nearby personnel.
Latch Pin Visual Indicator
The visual indicator is used to quickly determine when latch pins are engaged. When the latch
pins are properly engaged, no part of the pins should be visible in the indicator cutout of the
latch pin cap.
Left-Right Lock Lever
The left-right lock is designed to engage only when the upper monitor assembly is installed on a
truck mount or portable base. The left-right lock lever visually indicates the status of the lock.
B. 8298 2.0 Deck Mount Adapters
The 8298 2.0 deck mount adapter allows use of the 8297 2.0 as
a deck gun, and is designed for a pre-plumbed pipe directly
from the pump. The 8298F 2.0 adapter consists of the 3” 150#
flat faced ANSI flange, cast waterway, swivel ring, and anti-
rotation pins for the 8298EX 2.0. The 8298P 2.0 adapter
consists of the 3” NPT female thread, cast waterway, swivel
ring, and anti-rotation pins for the 8298EX 2.0.
