3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION The Ball Intake Valve is intended for use on the intake manifold of a fire engine. 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.
