Akron Brass develops space-saving intake valve

The Revolution Intake Valve from Akron Brass brings simplicity and efficiency to any apparatus. Its anodised aluminium and stainless steel construction features a unique, easy-to-use handwheel for simplified valve operation. Requiring less turns to open than other valves and still meeting NFPA requirements, the Revolution gets water to the pump more efficiently. A built-in open/close position indicator lets the operator see exact position of the valve. The robust, anti-corrosive interior and exterior is guaranteed to perform and is also covered under our 10-year warranty.

Hugging tightly to the apparatus body, the Revolution’s space-saving design provides access to surrounding equipment for ease of pump operations. The bleeder and field adjustable, relief valve drain to the same location allowing excess water to be easily directed or plumbed away from the pump operator’s position. Available in both a straight and 30° swivel elbow inlet, there are multiple options to ensure proper fit. The Revolution flows up to 2000 gallons per minute and is compliant with NFPA 1901.
