1.0 MEANING OF SIGNAL WORDS

Asafety related message is identiﬁed by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular

hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.6-2011, the deﬁnitions of the four signal words are as follows:

DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious

injury.

WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor

or moderate injury.

NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.

2.0 SAFETY

WARNING Quick changes in valve position can cause high pressure spikes due to water hammer and may

result in damaged equipment which could lead to injury or death. Open and close the valve

slowly to avoid water hammer.

WARNING Injury or death can result from burst hoses and ﬁttings. Risk can be minimized by the proper care

and use of hose and appliances per NFPA 1962. The relief valve must be set to an appropriate

pressure based on the type of hose and equipment you are using.

WARNING Injury or death may occur by attempting to use a damaged Valve. Per NFPA1962, the device shall

be inspected and tested at least quarterly. Before use inspect for damage resulting from:

• Failure to drain valve followed by exposure to freezing conditions

• Exposure to temperatures in excess of 160 degrees F

• Missing parts, physical abuse

WARNING This equipment is intended for use by trained personnel for ﬁreﬁghting. Its use for other

purposes may involve hazards not addressed by this manual. Seek appropriate guidance and

training to reduce risk of injury.

WARNING Kinks in supply hose may reduce water ﬂow and cause injury or death to persons dependant on

water ﬂow. Avoid tight bends to minimize risk of hoseline kinks.

WARNING The appliance may be damaged if frozen while containing signiﬁcant amounts of water. Such

damage may be difﬁcult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. Any time the

appliance is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be hydrostatically tested by

qualiﬁed personnel before being considered safe for use.

CAUTION Maximum operating pressure for the valve is 300 PSI (20 bar). Do not exceed 300 PSI on either

side of the valve.

CAUTION Valve must be properly connected. Mismatched or damaged connectors may cause leaking or

uncoupling under pressure and could cause injury.

CAUTION Any alterations to the valve and its markings could diminish safety and constitutes a misuse of

this equipment.

NOTICE Use with salt water is permissible provided the valve is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after

each use. The service life of the valve may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is

not covered under warranty.

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Low Proﬁle Ball Intake Valve is intended for use on either the intake manifold of a ﬁre engine or on a discharge port of a ﬁre main.

The valve is available in versions to minimize interference with surrounding components. The valve is kept closed while the water

supply from a hydrant or another pumper to the engine is being established. This prevents the pump from sucking air through the

intake manifold and losing its prime. Once the supply hose is ﬁlled and under pressure, and the air has been vented from the hose,

the valve may be opened to connect the pump to the water supply.An adjustable pressure relief valve mounted on the valve opens to

relieve any excess pressure that may damage the hose or the pump. The valve may be used for pressure or vacuum/drafting service.

3.2 CORROSION

Aluminum parts are hard anodized.All castings are then powder coated inside and out to help prevent corrosion. Hose couplings are

attached using polymer bearing rings which provide electrical insulation to help prevent galvanic corrosion. The effects of corrosion

can be minimized by good maintenance practice. See section 9.0 for MAINTENANCE.

3.3 USE WITH SALT WATER

Use with salt water is permissible provided valve is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the valve

may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.

4.0 INSTALLATION

4.1 MOUNTING THE VALVE

Screw the large coupling to a pump manifold or ﬁre water discharge port and tighten securely. The valve position indicator should be

clearly visible, but need not be level.

CAUTION Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability

to unscrew the threads and complete loss of thread engagement over time. Per NFPA 1962 (2013

edition), if dissimilar metals are left coupled together an anti-corrosive lubricant should be applied

to the threads. Also, the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least quarterly.

4.2 CHANGING OFFSET OF CRANK HANDLE

When equipped with a crank handle, two offset positions are available

to adjust the swing radius of the crank and knob as shown in ﬁgure

4.2. The longer offset position offers reduced effort to operate the

valve. The shorter offset is available to avoid interference with other

equipment on the apparatus. To change the offset, remove two 1/4”-

20 x 1/2” button head cap screws from crank. Place crank in desired

position and replace screws. Apply Blue Loc-Tite thread locking

compound to all of the screw threads.

4.3 CHANGING COUPLING LOCK-OUT

To change a coupling from rigid to full time swivel, use a

7/32” Allen driver to back out the lockout screw until the

coupling moves freely.

To change a coupling from full time swivel to rigid, Rotate

the coupling until the lockout screw is aligned with the

Air Vent/Bleed Valve on the top of the valve body. Use

a 7/32” Allen driver to tighten the lockout screw into the

lockout divot in the elbow. Do not tighten the screw onto

the polymer bearing strip.

5.0 USE

5.1 VALVE OPERATION

The valves covered by this manual utilize positive stops at the OPEN and CLOSED positions.Attempting to close a valve further than

the positive stops will not result in a tighter seal between the ball and valve seat.All valves include markings to indicate the direction

of handle rotation to open the valve.

Valves with hand cranks include a valve position indicator. To open the valve, turn the hand crank until the valve position indicator

shows OPEN. To close the valve, turn the hand crank the opposite way until the valve position indicator shows CLOSED.

Figure 5.1

Valve Position Indicator

Up to the maximum rated pressure, operating torque should never exceed the values in the table below. If greater torque is required

to operate the valve, then that is an indication that the valve needs maintenance. Exceeding 30 ft-lb / 41 N-m torque may damage

the appliance. Kicking or standing on the valve controls is considered misuse of the appliance.

Valve Seat Bore

Size Max. Acceptable

Torque Max. Acceptable

Force on Knob

3.65 in 93mm 12 ft-lb 16 N-m 45 lb 20 kg

Exceeding 45 ft-lb will cause one side of the crank shaft to shear off. This is intentional to prevent further damage to the gearbox. If

the shaft shears off, the valve can be operated temporarily using a wrench on the ½” hex on the opposite side of the crankshaft. For

repair instructions, see section 9.2 CRANKSHAFT OVERRIDEAND REPLACEMENT.

5.2 AIR VENT AND WATER DRAIN

CAUTION Loss of prime can interrupt water ﬂow and cause injury or death. Always bleed out air with air

valve to prevent possible loss of prime.

The BIV-LP comes with an Air Vent/Drain Valve situated on the top of the valve.

5.3 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

WARNING Do not leave the pressure relief valve in the OFF position. The pressure relief valve is disabled in

the OFF position and offers no protection against over pressurization. The OFF position may be

used for controlled pump testing but should not be used for service conditions. Exercise great

care to avoid water hammer or other pressure spikes when the pressure relief valve is in the OFF

position.

WARNING The Pressure Relief Valve may be damaged if frozen while containing signiﬁcant amounts of

water. Such damage may be difﬁcult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death.

Any time the Pressure Relief Valve is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be

hydrostatically tested by qualiﬁed personnel before being considered safe for use.

LDH valved appliances may be equipped with a pressure relief valve that can be set to any pressure between 90 and 300 psi. Its

function is to protect the pump and supply hose from excess pressure.

See LIA-202 Pressure Relief Valve Instructions for Safe Operation and Maintenance.

©Copyright Task Force Tips, Inc. 2016 LIA-212 December 8, 2016 Rev03

5.3.1 SETTING RELIEF VALVE PRESSURE

To set the relief valve pressure turn the adjusting screw on the

relief valve housing until the surface of the screw is even with the

desired pressure. A 9/16” (14mm) socket or a 1/4” Allen wrench

may be used to turn the adjusting screw. The Pressure relief

valve should not be disabled (IE: capped, plugged, or set to the

OFF position) for normal service conditions. Disabling the relief

valve may result in system damage or hose rupture if the system

exceeds operating limits. The pressure relief valve meets the

requirements of NFPA 1901.
