🔵 BlitzFire® Firefighting Monitor: The #1 Ground Monitor for All Tactics   These key features are why firefighters choose to use a BlitzFire monitor for their firefighting needs:   Standard Unit Stream Range - The adjustable attack angle ranges from 10 to 46 degrees, providing flexibility for a wide range of firefighting scenarios. High Elevation Unit Stream Range - The high elevation version extends the vertical attack range from 10 to 86 degrees, ideal for fires requiring steep angles. Flow Rate - Delivers up to 500 GPM (2000 LPM), ensuring powerful water delivery for even the most demanding fire scenarios. Complete Flow Control - The integrated slide valve offers six detent positions, providing precise control over the flow rate. Safety Shutoff Valve - Automatically engages to stop water flow in a controlled manner, mitigating the risk of injury and equipment damage. Safety Locking Pin - Secures the monitor’s off position to prevent unintentional water flow. Operate Unassisted - Capable of operating without direct human intervention, allowing firefighters to focus on other critical tasks. Optional Oscillation - Uses a water-driven turbine to sweep the nozzle across a range of 20, 30, or 40 degrees, providing consistent coverage. Carbide-Tipped Legs - Enhances stability on various surfaces, ensuring the monitor remains securely in place during operation. Rugged Aluminum Valve Handle - Offers dual functionality as both a control mechanism and a built-in carrying handle for enhanced portability. Foam Compatibility - Can be integrated with various foam systems, enhancing fire suppression capabilities, especially in scenarios requiring foam. Mounting and Storage - Can be easily mounted to any accessible surface on a fire apparatus or stored for quick access, ensuring rapid deployment. Available Nozzle Pairings - Can be paired with a variety of nozzles, including standard, low-pressure, dual-pressure automatic, fixed gallonage, stacked tips, and foam tubes, allowing firefighters to tailor their equipment to the specific needs of the incident.

🐶 Hydrant Valves: Maximize The "Dog Ears" or Side Outlets of a Hydrant These key features are why firefighters choose to use TFT hydrant valves to overcome their water supply challenges: Handle Options – Choose between quarter-turn folding handles to easily operate the valve under full water pressure OR slow-close handles to prevent water hammer. Durable Construction – Made of hard coat anodized and powder-coated aluminum alloy. Optional Port – Valves include a port for installing a pressure gauge or air bleeder valve if desired. Automatic Valve Lock – Keeps the valve position while flowing at gated positions, preventing water pressure from slamming the valve shut. Wide Open Waterway – Uses a half-ball valve that opens up to a full waterway with a 300 PSI operating capacity.
