Task Force Tips Legacy 6" Female Swivel x 5" Storz Rigid Jumbo Ball Intake Valve

Jumbo ball intake valve, 6" Storz swivel x 5" Storz rigid

Constructed of hard anodized and powder coated aluminum alloy, TFT’s Ball Intake Valve series has virtually eliminated expensive corrosion related repairs. Available with a fast acting pressure relief valve, and a unique 30 degree swiveling inlet, these valves are the perfect choice for high volume flow operations. The unobstructed, low friction loss water way allows for maximum flow and models even include a low profile version for tight profile pump panels.

AX Series Jumbo Ball Intake Valve has a huge 5.25" diameter waterway giving low friction loss to maximize flow. Friction loss is 3 psi at 2000 gpm. Designed for use with 5 or 6" (125 or 150mm) hose.

The 30° intake elbow swivels 360° and has multiple positive detents. Make hose connections in any direction with minimal kinks and coupling stress.

Designed for pressure or vacuum service on a pumper. Maximum operating pressure is 250 psi (17 bar). Meets 900 psi (62 bar) hydrostatic strength test. The aluminum castings are hardcoat anodized with a powder coat finish inside and out for maximum corrosion protection.

All of the components on the wet side of the valve are made of stainless steel for additional corrosion protection. The hand wheel needs 7.5 turns to close, meeting NFPA slow close requirements.

There is a unique position indicator that shows the operator if the valve is open, closed or somewhere in between. The hand wheel is factory installed on the right side of valve, but can be switched to the left side if desired. Unit comes equipped with a rugged 0.75 inch (19 mm) drain valve to quickly drain water from the valve housing. A port for an optional air bleed valve is incorporated into the design for user friendly configuration.

Hose coupling and truck connections are attached to the valve using polymer bearing rings which provide electrical isolation to help prevent galvanic corrosion. Includes TFTs optional pressure relief valve with a discharge that can be directed one of four ways and meets NFPA 1901 (2009 edition). 

Please note: Side A refers to the truck side of the valve and Side B refers to the LDH side of the valve.
