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 eff ects of corrosion
can be minimized by good maintenance practice. See section 9.0 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 eff ects 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 fi re water discharge port and tighten securely. The valve position indicator should be
clearly visible, but need not be level.
Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability
CAUTION
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 ENCLOSURE MOUNTING

Select proper location for display. A full size template is shown in 12.0 TEMPLATES.

4.3 ELECTRIC INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Red (+) and black (-) wires must be connected to a 12 or 24 VDC protected circuit from the truck's power distribution center. Figure
4.3 shows the control connections.

Note:
Cable is gel filled to prevent moisture wicking into enclosure.
Gel is non-hazardous and should be wiped off conductors with rag.
The electric motor and other components are ignition sources. The electric BIV should be operated only
WARNING
in areas where there is adequate ventilation and no hazard of fl ammable vapor buildup.

To avoid excessive voltage drop at valve motor, do not
lengthen factory supplied receptacle cable. Power cable
selection is critical. Voltage supplied to valve motor board
should not fall below 10 volts when valve is in operation.
