TFT has six indent positions on the flow control value.
1 ½” lines will vary from 50 – 150 GPM: 1 ¾” hose will increase the available flow up to 250 GPM. For obtaining the full 50 – 350 GPM flow of a TFT, 2 ½” hose is used.
TFT master stream nozzles
MTFT is a constant pressure variable flow automatic nozzle that operates on the principal very similar to that of a pumper relief valve.

The baffle at the front of the nozzle moves to vary the discharge opening of the nozzle. In effect, the nozzle is constantly changing the tip size to match the flow of the water that is being delivered.
