5. 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

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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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

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

11. 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

12. Fire Streams to the Max Raw Aluminum Alloy Casting 1 2 3 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

13. 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
