• Part Number: 88250012

• Series / Generation: Style 8825 / Generation II Heavy-Duty Swing-Out™

• Waterway Size: Full 2-1/2" (65 mm)

• Body Material: Cast Brass

• Ball Material: 316 Stainless Steel with HydroMax™ geometry

• Mechanism: Patented Self-Locking Trunnion (Internal mechanical detent holds ball position against backpressure)

• Operating Pressure: Rated to 250 PSI (Hydrostatically tested to 500 PSI; meets/exceeds NFPA 1964)

Control & Handle Compatibility:

• Direct Manual Handles: Engineered specifically for Akron Style R1 Handles, as well as TS and TSC Handles.

• Remote Control Linkages: Compatible with apparatus push-pull rods and bellcranks; the internal brake holds the valve at any gated position without needing a friction-locking T-handle on the pump panel.

• (Warning: Not compatible with direct electric actuators or manual handwheel gearboxes. The internal mechanical brake will fight worm-gear drives, resulting in binding, blown fuses, and motor burnout).

Self-Locking Advantage:

• Mechanical self-locking trunnion holds the ball securely against hydraulic shock, line vibration, and water hammer.

• Eliminates handle drift and accidental gating movement without requiring manual friction knobs or external lock levers.

Buyer Installation Notes:

• Sold as "Body Only" (Sub-Assembly). Requires inlet/outlet pipe adapters, body tie-bolts, and a manual handle (such as the Akron R1).

• Ships with the Generation II thick stop plate, square drive trunnion, and hub retaining bolt/washer pre-installed.

• Lead Time: 4 to 8 weeks from receipt of order.
