What is a VUM
The VUM is a lightweight, low friction-loss valve and manifold for installation directly beneath your firefighting monitor on a ladder, platform, or other location.
The VUM combines the valve mechanism from our Ball Intake Valve with a 4” ANSI 150 inlet and up to four 2.5” (65 mm) outlets.
Valve Control Options
RC or manual – the choice is yours. Choose the control option that works for your crew.
Manual options come with either a worm drive gearbox or parallel drive gearbox. If your VUM has a worm drive gearbox, your crank handle can be installed on the left or right side of the valve. If you choose a parallel drive gearbox your crank handle will point away from all auxiliary points for the most flexibility in port configuration.
RC models have a remote interface box that allows simple operation.
Auxiliary Port Options
Your VUM comes with four auxiliary ports to enhance the capabilities of your equipment. These ports are ideal for adding:
• A pressure relief valve
• Hose connections
• External drain valves
• Gated elbows
• Straight Hydrant Valves
• Extension Pipes
