3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The DECON/pak Portable Decontamination System is a self-contained agent proportioning and rinse application system developed

specically for gross decontamination of reghting personnel and equipment. Injecting a variety of approved personal protective

clothing gross decontamination agents from 0.1% to 0.5%, the rugged green polypropylene 2.5 gallon concentrate tank and is

supplied by a pressurized 1” or 1.5” hoseline. The unit includes an integrated twist shut-o󰀨 valve, selective injection metering knob,

and is easily disassembled for cleaning. The pressure vacuum seal on the lid and inlet debris screen assures that the approved

decontamination agent chosen can be stored ready for immediate use. A detachable fan spray nozzle is attached to a 12’ discharge

hose for ease of use during agent application or rinsing operations.

The DECON/pak is not intended to be used for Class A , Class B, or any other type of foam concentrate. If you intend to use the

DECON/pak for liquids other than decontamination agents and water, we urge you to contact Task Force Tips Service Department

at 800-854-6864. The use of other liquids may void the warranty and subject the user to hazards not addressed in this manual. The

user assumes all risks for non intended uses.

3.2 LEFT or RIGHT HAND OPERATION

The Control Block and Valve Assembly can be mounted on the Tank for right or left hand operation. To switch hands, remove the

Shoulder Strap from the Pull Pins. Remove the Circle Cotters from the Pull Pins and remove the Pull Pins themselves. Pull the

Control Assembly straight up and out of the tank. Turn the Control Unit around and reinstall the Pull Pins, the Circle Cotters, and the

Shoulder Strap.

4.0 AGENT SELECTION

In any eductor type system the accuracy of the agent concentrate to water ratio will depend upon the viscosity (thickness) of the agent

concentrate. The more viscous, or thick, the agent concentrate, the greater the amount of energy required to draw the concentrate

into the eductor. The viscosity of most agent concentrates changes with temperature, some thickening to a gel at temperatures of

40º F (4º C).

The DECON/pak percentage knob was calibrated with ZepPowerPlex® Heavy-Duty Laundry Detergent. Actual agent concentrations

vary with changes in water ow, agent concentrate temperature and viscosity. The user must verify that the concentrate’s performance

is suitable for use in their application. In all cases, the manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed.

4.1 AGENT COMPATIBILITY

DANGER

Do not mix di󰀨erent types of agent concentrates or agents of the same type from di󰀨erent

manufacturers. Mixing of agent concentrates can cause the contents of the agent tank to gel and

produce unpredictable results. Clean tank and agent passages thoroughly when changing agent

types. Check with your PPE manufacturer for recommendations.

START UP PROCEDURE

To Make Agent - Connect water supply. Attach the nozzle to the

Quick-Connect. Turn the Percentage Knob to the desired percentage.

Twist the Valve Handle to start water flow.

5.1 HOSE CONNECTION

Attach inlet re hose to the coupling on the inlet end of the DECON/pak. Larger hoses may be used with an adapter. For maximum

maneuverability, we recommend attaching 1” hose into the DECON/pak itself.

5.2 FILLING TANK

Unscrew the ll port lid by turning counterclockwise. Fill tank to bottom of ll port. Agent may seep out the vents if over lled. Close

the ll port lid by turning clockwise.

5.3 CONNECT DISCHARGE HOSE AND NOZZLE

1. The nozzle may be attached directly to the quick-connect tting on the control block or to the end of the outlet hose which is then

attached to the control block. Align the marks on the quick-connect male tting with the marks on the female tting and push the

two pieces together. Twist the nozzle or hose one quarter turn to the right to latch the quick-connect tting.

2. To remove fan nozzle, remove set screw.

3. Hose lengths available. TFT part U-HS6, U-HS, and U-HS25.

CAUTION

The DECON/pak’s eductor will not work if the backpressure from the outlet hose or nozzle is too

high. The 25’ (7.5m) U-HS25 optional hose is the maximum length that will work with the DECON/

pak. Adding additional hose, or using other hose assemblies and nozzles, may cause the DECON/

pak to not function properly.

CAUTION

There is no check valve in the DECON/pak eductor system. Do not install a shut o󰀨 valve between

the DECON/pak and the fan nozzle. This can cause the agent tank to ll with water and dilute the

agent concentrate.

5.4 SETTING AGENT CONCENTRATION

Turn the knob to the desired concentrate percentage. The percentage knob may be turned to the RINSE position for water only use.

Be sure to use the agent manufacturer’s recommended concentrate ratio.

5.5 CONTROLLING FLOW

Pressurize the hose line. Turn the ow control valve to start water owing through the DECON/pak. Flow may be reduced by partially

closing the control valve.

TO CLEAN OUT IF PLUGGED

Remove screw #2, spring #3, and knob #4. Inspect the

underside of the knob. Make sure the agent passages are

clear. Do not scratch the at face of the knob. Inspect the 2

holes in the top of the Control Block #5. If they are plugged,

pull pins #1, remove Block Assembly and clean out Pickup

Tube and holes.

TO SHUT DOWN

To prevent concentrate from drying in the agent passages the following

is recommended. While still connected to water supply, remove Circle

Cotters and Pull Pins. Remove Control Unit from tank. Attach the Cap

directly to the Quick-Connect on the Control Block. Turn the valve half

way on till the discharge is agent free. This will back ush a small

amount of water through the agent passage. Rotate the Percentage

Knob back and forth to make sure all agent passages are ushed.

UNSCREW

5.7 SHUT DOWN AFTER USE (FLUSHING)

DECON/pak should be ushed with water after each use to prevent agent concentrate from drying out inside of the Control Block

and Percentage Knob.

1) Reduce pump pressure to 100 psi or less.

2) Remove the nozzle and/or hose from the quick-connect on the front of the Control Block.

3) Remove the Circle Cotters and pull out the two Pull Pins that hold the Control Unit to the tank.

4) Pull straight up to remove the Control Unit and Pickup Tube from the tank.

5) Make sure the Percentage Knob is NOT in the RINSE position.

6) Install the Cap on the outlet of the Control Block.

7) Turn the Flow Control valve until a trickle of clean water is owing out the end of the Pickup Tube.

8) Turn the Percentage Knob back and forth to make sure all agent passages are ushed.

9) Shut o󰀨 water and reinstall the Control Unit on the tank and insert the Pull Pins and circle cotters.

10) Remove the Cap.

The exterior of the DECON/pak can be washed o󰀨 with the hose with the percentage knob in the RINSE position.

5.8 STORAGE

The DECON/pak can be stored with agent concentrate in it.

Make sure the control block and valve assembly is mounted

on the tank and the ll port is securely closed to prevent

evaporation. Storage in the upright position is recommended

to avoid agent leaking when the DECON/pak is not in use.
