1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDSA safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particularhazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.6-2006, the definitions of the four signal words are as follows:DANGERDANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or seriousinjury.WARNINGWARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or seriousinjury.CAUTIONCAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minoror moderate injury.NOTICENOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.2.0 SAFETYWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGQuick changes in valve position can cause high pressure spikes due to water hammer and mayresult in damaged equipment which could lead to injury or death. Open and close the valveslowly to avoid water hammer.Injury or death may occur by attempting to use a damaged valve.Per NPFA 1962, the device shall be inspected and tested at least quarterly.Before use, inspect for damage resulting from: Failure to drain valve followed by exposure to freezing conditions Exposure to temperatures in excess of 160 degrees F Missing parts, physical abuseThis equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for firefighting. Its use for otherpurposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance andtraining to reduce risk of injury.Kinks in supply hose may reduce water flow and cause injury or death to persons dependant onwater flow. Avoid tight bends to minimize risk of hoseline kinks.The valve may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of water. Such damagemay be difficult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. Any time the valveis subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be hydrostatically tested by qualifiedpersonnel before being considered safe for use.CAUTIONMaximum operating pressure 250 psi (17 bar). Do not exceed 250 psi (17 bar) on either side ofthe valve.CAUTIONValve must be properly connected. Mismatched or damaged connectors may cause leaking oruncoupling under pressure and could cause injury.CAUTIONUse with salt water is permissible provided the valve is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water aftereach use. The service life of the valve may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and isnot covered under warranty. Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2010-20174LIA-420 September 5, 2017 Rev07
3.0 GENERAL INFORMATIONTFT’s Oasis Hydrant Assist Valve is a versatile valve that can be used as a hydrant booster, a gated wye, or for inline pumpingduring relay operations. In hydrant boosting operation, the valve is first connected to the hydrant and to the intake supply line onthe first pumper. Inlet and outlet supply lines on a boost pumper are then connected to the valve to draw water directly from thehydrant connection and increase pressure/flow to the first pumper. Inline pumping is achieved in a similar manner. A clapper valvewith position indicator provides uninterrupted water flow to the fire when transitioning to boost mode, and in the event of boostpump failure. Two unique valve position indicators tell the operator if the ball and clapper valves are open, closed, or somewherein between. Designed for use with 3.5”, 4”, 4.5” or 5” (89, 100, 115 or 125 mm) hose. Aluminum half ball valve provides corrosionprotection. Maximum operating pressure is 250 psi (17 bar). Meets 900 psi (62 bar) hydrostatic strength test. The aluminum castingis hardcoat anodized inside and out, and TFT powder coat finished on the outside.3.1 PARTS IDENTIFICATIONVALVE POSITIONINDICATORPRESSURE GAGEPORTSSERIAL #CRANKFLOWFLOWCARRYING HANDLESIDE C1(TO RELAY PUMP INLET)SIDE B(TO FIRE)SIDE A(HYDRANT)SIDE C2FLOWFLOW(FROM RELAY PUMP)CLAPPER VALVEPOSITION INDICATORMOUNTING FEET3.2 SPECIFICATIONSMain waterway size (at valve seat): 3.65” (93mm)Oasis Hydrant Assist Valve meets NFPA 1965 slow close requirement.Maximum Operating Pressure: 250 psi (17 bar)Hydrostatic Proof Test Pressure: 900 psi (62 bar)Temperature Rating*: -25 F to 135 F (-32 C to 57 C)*For temperatures below 32 F (0 C), valves must be drained after use to avoid damage.See section 2.0 SAFTEY.3.3 CORROSIONHose couplings are attached using polymer bearing rings which provide electrical insulation to help prevent galvanic corrosion. Theparts are hard anodized inside and out, and powder coated on the outside to help prevent corrosion. The effects of corrosion can beminimized by good maintenance practice. See section 6.0 MAINTENANCE.3.4 USE WITH SALT WATERUse with salt water is permissible provided valve is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the valvemay be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty. Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2010-20175LIA-420 September 5, 2017 Rev07
4.0 INSTALLATIONMake connections to fire hose or fittings on each side of the Oasis Hydrant Assist ValveCAUTIONCAUTIONDissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inabilityto unscrew the threads and complete loss of thread engagement over time. Per NFPA 1962 (1998edition), if dissimilar metals are left coupled together an anti-corrosive lubricant should be appliedto the threads. Also, the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least quarterly.Male fire hose threads are sharp and can cause injury. Be careful when around male hosethreads.4.1 CHANGING OFFSET OF CRANK HANDLEWhen equipped with a crank handle, two offset positions are available to adjust the swing radius of the crank and knob as shownin the figure below. The longer offset position offers reduced effort to operate the valve. The shorter offset is available to avoidinterference with other equipment. To change the offset, remove the two 1/4-20 x 1/2” button head cap screws from crank. Placecrank in desired position and replace screws.REINSTALL CRANKIN THIS HOLEIF SHORTER SWINGIS DESIRED Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2010-20176LIA-420 September 5, 2017 Rev07
5.0 USE5.1 ATTACHING TO A HYDRANTAttaching to a hydrant can be easily accomplished by holding the valve by the strap and allowing it to hang as shown. Once thecoupling is partially threaded, it can be rotated to an upright position for hose connections. Tighten coupling when valve is in desiredorientation.When the valve is equipped with a folding handle, hold the valve by the handle and allow it to hang as shown below.

5.4 CLAPPER VALVE POSITION INDICATORThe clapper valve automatically controls whether water is supplied to the attack pumper directly from the hydrant (at hydrantpressure), or from a relaying pumper (at boosted pressure). When water pressure is supplied to the “HYDRANT” port and no boostpressure is being supplied to the “FROM RELAY PUMP” port, the indicator will show the clapper shutting off the “FROM RELAYPUMP” port and allowing water to flow directly from the “HYDRANT” port to the “TO FIRE” port.MODE 1Ball valve indicator showing crank rotatedcounterclockwise, shutting off “TO RELAYPUMP INLET”. Clapper indictor showingclapper shutting off “FROM PUMP RELAY”port and allowing water to flow directly from the“HYDRANT” port to the “TO FIRE” port.When water is supplied from a relaying pumper to the “FROM RELAY PUMP” port at a pressure in excess of hydrant pressure, theclapper valve closes an inner port that diverts all hydrant water to the assist pumper through the “TO RELAY PUMP INLET” port, andallows water to flow directly from the “FROM RELAY PUMP” port to the “TO FIRE” port at a boosted pressure.MODE 2 BOOSTBall valve indicator showing crank rotatedclockwise, opening “TO RELAY PUMP INLET”.Clapper indictor showing clapper shutting off innerport and diverting water from “HYDRANT” portto “TO RELAY PUMP INLET” port and allowingwater to flow from the “FROM PUMP RELAY” portto the “TO FIRE” port.
