LDH Hardware Program from Task Force Tips, Inc A Review of Strategic Features and Benefits for TFT’s Sales Professionals

Fire Streams to the Max The Design, Manufacture and Delivery of High Performance Fire Streams Management and Water Delivery Equipment is Part of TFT’s Heritage

Fire Streams to the Max TFT’s Design and Manufacturing Objectives for LDH Hardware Reduce the potential for corrosion within intake and gate valves Provide maximum flow with minimal friction loss in all products Design a manufacturing and assembly system that will allow rapid delivery of over 500 finished goods

Fire Streams to the Max Threaded and Storz Couplings Most Jumbo Hardware available with 2.5”, 3”, 3.5”, 4”, 4.5”, 5”, and 6” male or female swiveling or rigid threads Special Thread specifications are accepted All Jumbo Hardware also available with 4”, 5” or 6” Storz swiveling or rigid couplings All 4”, 5”and 6” Storz couplings are forged for maximum strength

Fire Streams to the Max NEW Polymer Ring Replaces Ball Bearings in our Hardware Couplings Provides a break in electrical conductivity from Pump to Hardware, reducing galvanic corrosion Allows coupling to be simply changed Offers twice the shear strength of competitive designs

Fire Streams to the Max Competitive models use either metal ball bearings or acetyl plastic discs as their connection and rotation method.

Fire Streams to the Max Why TFT Chose a Polymer Ring in our couplings ? Our Polymer Ring Provides a High Bearing Surface Area High potential for shear and coupling failure Competitive design TFT Exclusive

Fire Streams to the Max TFT’s new polymer ring design short circuits Galvanic Corrosion Dissimilar metals + Electrically Conductive Pathway + Water = Galvanic Corrosion TFT Breaks that electrical circuit Polymer Ring

Fire Streams to the Max Galvanic Corrosion Bronze in contact with aluminum (metal to metal contact) in a wet atmosphere Metal degradation due to galvanic corrosion

Fire Streams to the Max Corrosion due to galvanic action and mineral laden water is a big contributor to premature hardware failure.

Fire Streams to the Max Corrosion Resistance – TFT’s unique Three-Step process Poly-Impregnation of raw castings under vacuum to seal porosity Hardcoat Anodized Polyester Powder Coated inside and out Maximum Corrosion Resistance Powder Coat Poly Impregnation Hard Coat Anodized

Fire Streams to the Max Raw Aluminum Alloy Casting Under a vacuum, the casting has polymers injected to close all pores where moisture can be trapped Hardcoat anodizing creates an aluminum oxide barrier for incredible hardness and corrosion resistance Powdercoat is applied and baked on for a permanently bonded corrosion resistant finish

Fire Streams to the Max Raw Casting is first Poly-Impregnated Then…Hard Coat Anodized Finally…Powder coated Raw Casting Poly Impregnated Hard Coat Anodized Powder Coated

Fire Streams to the Max The new BIV – Ball Intake Valve 250psi operating pressure Meets 900psi hydrostatic test for NFPA #1965 For either pressure or suction service 28 models available with threaded or Storz couplings to 6” Easily adjustable psi relief valve Unique Swiveling Inlet Patented Ball Shut Off With Position Indicator Triple Process Corrosion Protection 2000 GPM Flows

Fire Streams to the Max Changing the Concept of the Apparatus Intake Valve Redesigned, high- flow, quick acting relief valve Exclusive visual valve position indicator

Fire Streams to the Max Heavy duty bronze valve gearing Corrosion resistant patented quarter ball assembly Polymer Ring Swiveling Inlet

Fire Streams to the Max Where there is Water, there can be some level of Corrosion Piston Style Valve Stays Wet BIV Style Valve Remains Dry when not flowing Water from pump

Fire Streams to the Max The NEW BIV – Highest Return on Your Investment Akron Black Max with Swiveling 5” Storz Inlet AWG-Harrington with Swiveling 5” Storz Inlet TFT’s BIV with Swiveling 5” Storz Inlet Snap-Tite with Swiveling 5” Storz Inlet

Fire Streams to the Max BIV Key Selling Features Most Innovative Intake Valve Ever Designed And Produced SwivelingInlet High Flow Relief Valve CorrosionResistant Unique Ball Shut Off

Fire Streams to the Max BIV Key Selling Benefits Triple–Coating Process and new polymer ring design will limit corrosion that plagues competitive models Ball Style Shutoff and straight through waterway design will provide higher flows with limited friction loss – maximizing pump efficiency Swiveling 30-Degree Inlet allows either LDH hose or hard suction to supply the pump from different angles preventing kinks and flow restrictions

Fire Streams to the Max Changing the Concept of the Jumbo Gate Valve Optional Swiveling inlet

Fire Streams to the Max The new Jumbo Gate Valve Series 250psi operating pressure Meets 900psi hydrostatic test for NFPA #1965 For either pressure or suction service 106 models available with threaded or Storz couplings to 6” Unique bi-directional valve seat Non-rising hand wheel Optional Swiveling Inlet Unique Stainless Steel Wedge Gate Design Triple Process Corrosion Protection High Flow Performance

Fire Streams to the Max The Power of the WEDGE design. Low Gasket Wear Positive Sealing Stainless Steel Wedge

Fire Streams to the Max To prevent corrosion in the new Jumbo Gate Valve, TFT has chosen a heavy stainless steel gate (unlike other competitors) TFT’s Exclusive Gate

Fire Streams to the Max JUMBO Gate Valve Series Key Selling Features Most Durable Gate Valve Ever Designed And Produced SwivelingInlet High Flow Wedge Seat Design CorrosionResistant Stainless Gate

Fire Streams to the Max JUMBO Gate Valve Series Key Selling Benefits Triple-Coating Process and new polymer ring design will limit corrosion Stainless Wedge Gate and straight through waterway design will provide higher flows with limited friction loss – either on the truck, or off Swiveling 30-Degree Inlet option allows either LDH hose or hard suction to supply the pump from different angles preventing kinks and flow restrictions

Fire Streams to the Max Maximum Water Distribution with the JUMBO WYE Series
