Does not obstruct other panel mounted equipment, saving valuable panel space
Does not extend beyond the running boards creating a hazard that can be damaged if apparatus is driven too close to an obstacle
Allows for installation on rescue bodies since it will not interfere with roll-up doors
Smaller control panel includes valve control and air bleeder valve saving panel space
Performance
Oversize 6.4” diameter bore allows intake to be used during drafting, providing full single suction 1500 gpm performance on capable pumps
Does not need to be removed for NFPA or UL testing unlike other intake valves
Valve design has been shown to enhance the flow characteristics of the pumps where it is installed. Reference the 3000 GPM Qmax-XS White paper for more information
Flexibility in installation
Easily installed between the suction extension and the suction on all Q-Series pump
On correctly configured pumps the MIV can be installed on the rear port (T-Port) on Qmax, Qmax-XS, and Qtwo pumps
Can be installed in line on properly plumbed pumps for front, rear, or side suctions
Offered in manual and electric with manual override
Robust construction
Corrosion resistant brass body for longevity
Sealed electrical connections for reliable operation
Features beyond the valve
Plumbed for an optional intake relief valve (NST, NPT, or grooved coupling)
Provisions for pre-priming, allowing for seamless transition from onboard tank to drafting
New features not seen on the original MIV
Constructed with 5 grease ports for easily accessed maintenance using spray lubricant
Utilizes Hale electric valve position switches proven for robustness and easy adjustments
Removed microswitches from the gearbox adapter to protect against water intrusion
Position switches allow adjustment of valve stops without taking gearbox off/apart
