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

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

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.

Metal degradatio
n 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.

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 CorrosionResistance

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

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
