USAGE NFC Ball Valves are ideal for use when splitting one single hose line where two are required on a fire scene. The Two-Way Ball Valve can be used in hose testing, on fire hydrants, standpipes and pumps. The FMBV Series allows for smooth operation even at high flows with minimal friction loss. The Male adapters are easily removed for seat adjustment. FMBV 1515 Series is ideal size for Forestry Fire use. It is a small compact valve housing 1 ½” Female Swivel Inlets x (2) 1 ½” Male Outlets. This series can be supplied with 1 ½” Male NPSH or Forestry Quick Connect outlets. TERMINOLOGY The FMBV 2515 Series are often referred to as Leader Line Wyes, Two Way Ball Valves or sometimes manifolds. Casting is a process where the metal is melted before going into a mold. The metal pours into the mold and solidifies as it cools. The control of the molten metal temperature is critical. Likewise, the quality of the metal being melted must be controlled so that no impurities get into the molten metal. Anodizing is an electronic process that converts the metal surface into a durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. Aluminum is ideally suited to anodizing, although other nonferrous metals, such as magnesium and titanium, also can be anodized. MATERIAL FMBV 2515 Series Body cast from 356-T6 grade aluminum construction supplied hard coat anodized with Red powered coat for corrosion resistance. Stainless Steel Ball Bearings and Set Screw used. FMBV’s are equipped with anodized aluminum balls. Includes Stainless handles with black knob attachment for ease of use when opening and closing. Weight: 4 lbs. FMBV 1515 Series Body cast from 356-T6 grade aluminum construction supplied hard coat anodized with Red powered coat for corrosion resistance. Stainless Steel Ball Bearings and Set Screw used. FMBV’s are equipped with anodized aluminum balls. Includes molded cast handles for ease of use when opening and closing. Weight: 3 lbs. NPSH – National Pipe Straight Hose. NPSH is sometimes referred to as “IPT” or Iron Pipe Thread. NPSH threads are straight threads and require a gasket for sealing between mating threads. NPT – National Pipe Tapered. This thread is most commonly found in pluming applications. NPT is a tapered thread and the seal between mating threads is made by squeezing the threads together. Therefore, no gasket is required. NPT and NPSH threads are similar in diameter and threads per inch. OPERATING PRESSURE Normal operating pressure to 200 PSI. Tested burst per NFPA 1965. GASKETS High quality swivel gaskets are lathe cut ozone free EPDM.
