STORZ
Ball Intake Valve
TFT's Ball Intake Valve is designed for use with 4, 4.5, 5 or 6 inch LDH. The 30-degree intake elbow swivels 360 degrees and has multiple positive detents. Make hose connections from any direction with minimal kinks and coupling stress. Designed for pressure or vacuum service on a pumper. Maximum operating pressure is 250 PSI (17BAR). Meets 900 PSI (62 BAR) hydrostatic strength test. The aluminum castings are plastic impregnated, hardcoat anodized, and TFT-powdercoat finished inside and out for maximum corrosion protection. All the components on the wet side of the valve are made of bronze for additional corrosion protection. The hand wheel needs 7 1/2 turns to open, meeting NFPA slow close requirements. From the closed position, the hand wheel can be turned either direction to open the valve. 
There is a unique position indicator that shows the operator if the valve is open, closed or somewhere in between. The hand wheel is installed on the right side of the valve, but can be switched to the left side if desired. The unit comes equipped with a rugged 3/4"(19mm) air bleed valve to quickly bleed air from the lines or to drain water from the valve housing. Hose couplings and truck connections are attached to the valve using polymer bearing rings which provide electrical isolation to help prevent galvanic corrosion. Includes TFT's new adjustable pressure relief valve. For threads other then NHT call for availability.
