The Hydro Force™ 138 Shutoff is a high-capacity integrated shutoff valve designed for large-diameter firefighting hose applications. It features a built-in TURBO™ back-pressure device that enhances water flow control and maintains consistent nozzle pressure between 45 to 50 psi. Engineered for a 75 psi inlet pressure, it delivers up to 265 GPM with a nozzle reaction force of 99 lbs, making it ideal for high-volume fire suppression while maintaining manageable handling.
