⚠️ Critical Warnings

Avoid Aluminum-on-Aluminum Thread Binding

It is recommended NOT to use aluminum-threaded nozzles with aluminum nozzle holders —
threads can seize and become stuck or inseparable over time.

To prevent this:

• Use nozzles with stainless or brass threads

• Avoid overtightening

• Apply proper thread lubricant if required

Hose-End Cutting Requirement

Factory hose ends are NOT cut square. Always cut hose ends perfectly square before installing couplings or nozzle holders.
This is the #1 cause of coupling failure.

A square, clean hose end ensures proper seating and long-term safety.
