TFT’s Heritage


TFT’s Design and Manufacturing Objectives for

LDH Hardware Reduce the potential for corrosion

within intake and gate valves Provide maximum flow with minimal friction loss in all products Design a manufacturing and

assembly system that will allow rapid delivery of over 500 finished

goods


Threaded and Storz Couplings• Most Jumbo Hardware available with

2.5”, 3”, 3.5”, 4”, 4.5”, 5”, and 6” male or female swiveling or rigid

threads• Special Thread specifications are

accepted• All Jumbo Hardware also available

with 4”, 5” or 6” Storz swiveling or rigid couplings

• All 4”, 5”and 6” Storz couplings are forged for maximum strength


NEW Polymer Ring Replaces Ball Bearings in our Hardware

Couplings• Provides a break in electrical conductivity

from Pump to Hardware, reducing galvanic corrosion

• Allows coupling to be simply changed

• Offers twice the shear strength of

competitive designs


Competitive models use either metal ball bearings or acetyl plastic discs as their connection and rotation method.


Why TFT Chose a Polymer Ring in our couplings?

Metal degradatio

n due to galvanic corrosion


Corrosion due to galvanic action and mineral laden water is a big

contributor to premature hardware failure.


Corrosion Resistance – TFT’s unique Three-Step process

• Poly-Impregnation of raw castings under

vacuum to seal porosity

• Hardcoat Anodized • Polyester Powder

Coated inside and out

Maximum CorrosionResistance

Under a vacuum, the casting has polymers injected to close all pores where moisture can

be trapped

Hardcoat anodizing creates an aluminum

oxide barrier for incredible hardness

and corrosion resistance

Powdercoat is applied and baked on for a

permanently bonded corrosion resistant finish

BIV Key Selling Benefits

• Triple–Coating Process and new polymer ring design will limit corrosion

that plagues competitive models• Ball Style Shutoff and straight

through waterway design will provide higher flows with limited friction loss –

maximizing pump efficiency• Swiveling 30-Degree Inlet allows

either LDH hose or hard suction to supply the pump from different angles preventing kinks and flow restrictions
