TFT Jumbo Ball Intake Valve Short Storz x Female Swivel Handle Shaft on Top

TFT's Ball Intake Valves are the ideal alternative to master intake valves integrated into the apparatus pump system because they eliminate the need for apparatus to be taken out of service for repair or maintenance of an intake valve. Units are constructed of stainless steel and lightweight, hard anodized and powder coated aluminum alloy. In addition, hose couplings and truck connections are attached to the valve using polymer bearing rings which provide electrical isolation to help prevent galvanic corrosion.

TFT's Jumbo Short Ball Intake Valve has a huge 5.25 in. (133 mm.) diameter waterway giving low friction loss to maximize flow. Friction loss is only 3 psi at 2000 gpm (0.2 bar @ 7600 l/min). This series is designed for use with 3.5 in., 4 in., 4.5 in., 5 in. or 6 in. (89 mm., 100 mm., 115 mm., 125 mm. or 150 mm.) hose and includes a parallel shaft handle. AP models include a PRV (pressure relief valve) as standard.
