Valve may be rear (above) or side (below) mounted. Side mounted valve does not protrude past side compartments. QUIC-FLOW valves are the fastest dumping systems for tankers...bar none...dumping up to 2800 GPM. Mounting the valve at the bottom of the tank provides approximately 1700 GPM, half of valve below tank 2300 GPM, and valve below tank up to 2800 GPM.
All components in contact with water are passivated stainless steel. The valve is easily mounted from outside the vehicle by one man. Ordinary valves require an additional person inside the tank while mounting, increasing installation costs. Any adjustments to the valve may be made from outside with the tank full of water. We have designed-in options to allow field or factory addition of electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic control systems. Pre-drilled pads are provided on top of the valve body for attachment of the electrical system. Chutes may be permanently attached or quickly slipped on in the field.

Tested to 3000 G.P.M.

Comparison of square inches for round and square valves, with theoretical discharge rates.

Permits firefighter to operate the valve safely from the side of vehicle.

The standard handle is designed to accept a shaft that runs to the outside control handle. The AHL permits handle to be locked open or closed.

Electrically operated valves(3) off distributor box allows dumping on three sides.  (See photo above.) ACH-18 chutes with QDV-VCE extension are attached to side dumps.

Electrically operated valves may be controlled form the cab or near the valve...eliminates need for personnel to be in the highly dangerous position between the vehicle and the dump tank.

Actuator may be attached to either the left or right side of valve. If sufficient clearance is not available above the valve, simply flip the unit over allowing the actuator to extend below the valve.

The manual valve handle may be shortened from 14" to 9" when electric actuator is used...or shortened as required. Either of two pins may be pulled, in the event of electrical failure to operate the valve manually.

3-Section extension chute is pneumatically extended and the valve is operated by the control panel mounted on top of the valve.
