Diverting Valves with Fire-Fighting Hose Fittings
- Valve Type: Ball
- For Use With: Water
- Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber
Control the flow of water in two directions from a single source—these diverting valves have two balls and handles for independent operation of each outlet. They can direct flow to one side outlet at full capacity while shutting off flow to the second side outlet, direct flow to both side outlets at reduced capacity, or shut off flow to both side outlets. Valves have a brass body for good corrosion resistance. They are for use with fire-fighting hose.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
Male NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) threads are compatible with female NPSH threads. Female NPSH threads are compatible with male NPSH, NPT, NPTF, and NPSM threads.

High-Flow Threaded Check Valves
To achieve the maximum possible flow, internal components are designed to reduce flow resistance. These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. A removable cap provides easy access to internal components for maintenance.
Repair kits include everything you need to rebuild the valve.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
