2- 2.5" inlet with 2- 2.5" outlets NH Akron 4-Way Valve The Akron 4-way valve is more modern and fool proof. It has a gate valve on the supply outlet for the relay pumper intake hose. When relay pump pressure exceeds hydrant pressure, and internal spring loaded sliding valve redirects the flow so that water being sent down the supply line comes from the relay pumper. This design has two advantages. If the relay pumper hooks up incorrectly, the sliding valve will not operate and the supply line will still operate on hydrant pressure. On multi-outlet wet barrel hydrants the relay pumper can take supply from a steamer connection and discharge directly into the 4-way valve. The supply outlet on the 4-way valve to the relay engine does not have to be used. The Akron 4-way In very low pressure zones or where additional lines may be laid from the relay pumper to the scene, both the hydrant steamer outlet and 4-way relay pumper connection can be used. Where appropriate, hard suction hose can be used to obtain the desired volume of water from the hydrant. In cases of very long hose lays using multiple engines, 4-way valves can remain on the end of each hose load as they are chained together. Supply can be started and relay engines can locate and hook up to the 4-way valves to overcome friction loss.
