MANUAL TURRET This type of turret monitor is usually located within reach of the operator, from the driver's compartment. The turret monitor is manual controlled for direction, vertical
and horizontal, and remote controlled for on/off by way of switch located on the operators panel. This allows the operator to set the turret monitor to the desired direction, lock into place then turn the water flow on or off by way of the switch. All manual turret monitors are of a standpipe design which means they stand or hang on a mounting pipe. Manual turret monitors are 3" inlets with a 2 1/2" nozzle outlet. This is the least expensive type of monitor.

REMOTE CONTROLLED TURRET MONITORS Remote turret monitors are available in two (2) types, air controlled and hydraulic controlled. All remote turret monitors are controlled from the operator's panel in direction, both vertical and horizontal and for on/off of the water flow.

AIR REMOTE TURRET MONITORS There are two designs of remote air monitors, standpipe or bulkhead mounted. The standpipe design is usually on top of the cab or located on the front bumper for tankers, and top of the cab, front bumper or on tank top of the tank for truck tanks. Bulkhead mounted turrets are mounted on the front of the tank bulkhead right hand side, these are usually used on truck tanks only. All air-controlled turrets travel a maximum 90 degrees horizontal and 55 degrees vertical (15 degrees down, 40 degrees up). Hydraulic turret monitors are available in 3" with a 2 1/2" nozzle outlet or 4" with a 2 1/2" nozzle outlet for larger volumes of water and greater distances. Pressure and volume determine all distances. These are usually the least expensive of the remote controlled monitors.

HYDRAULIC REMOTE TURRET MONITORS Hydraulic remote monitors are available in standpipe design only. They can be mounted on the front bumper, top of the cab, or top of
the tank front or back. Their travel is usually 330 degrees horizontal and 55 degrees vertical
(15 degrees down, 40 degrees up). Hydraulic turret monitors are available in 3" inlet with a 2 1/2" outlet, 4" inlet with a 2 1/2" outlet, or a 6" inlet with a 3" outlet for larger volumes of water and greater distances. Pressure and volume determine all distances. These are usually the most expensive remote controlled monitors.

TURRET NOZZLES there are two types of turret monitor nozzles the first is a straight stream type, this has a set gallon per minute (orifice opening) and distance depending on the turret, water pressure and volume. Travel usually is about 85’. The second type is an adjustable stream nozzle, these are adjustable from straight stream (about 118" travel) to a fog (about 35’ travel) the adjustable gives the operator option to wash down equipment. Adjustable nozzles are sized to turret volume and pressure, to achieve the greatest distances usually a maximum reach of 245’. Adjustable nozzles are standard in manual controlled with an option of air or hydraulic controlled.
