Saving Lives & Protecting Property
Control the Supply. Protect the System.
TFT Ball Intake Valves (BIVs) are designed to control and manage water entering a fire apparatus, monitor, or water distribution system. Built around a full-flow ball valve design, these intake valves help firefighters safely connect supply lines, regulate incoming water, and protect equipment from pressure surges. Available in multiple configurations, TFT Ball Intake Valves combine durability, smooth operation, and integrated pressure relief protection to improve water supply operations on the fireground.
Engineered to minimize friction loss and maximize water delivery through the valve, helping maintain system efficiency.
Built-in relief valve options help protect apparatus plumbing and equipment from dangerous pressure spikes.
Available in a variety of connection sizes and thread options to meet department and apparatus requirements.
Control incoming water from hydrants, relay pumping operations, and supply lines.
Provide safe and reliable water intake management during structural firefighting operations.
Support fixed and mobile firefighting systems requiring dependable flow control.
Improve water transfer efficiency during tanker shuttle and rural water supply incidents.
A Ball Intake Valve controls water entering a fire apparatus or firefighting system while helping protect equipment from excessive pressure.
Pressure relief systems help prevent damage caused by water surges, over-pressurization, and fluctuations in supply pressure.
Yes. TFT offers multiple configurations and connection options designed to fit a wide variety of apparatus and water supply systems.
The 360-degree swiveling elbow allows for easier positioning and connection of hoses, especially in tight spaces or when operating under pressure. This flexibility reduces hose kinks, which improves water flow efficiency and makes setup faster during firefighting operations.
