HotRox Wildland Valve 22T - 1.5" NH Inline Ball Valve with 1" NPSH Lateral

The HotRox Wildland Valve is a compact, next-generation firefighting appliance designed to increase the speed and efficiency of progressive hoselay installations. Built as a reimagined inline tee, it combines multiple functions into one integrated solution, allowing it to act as an inline tee, gated wye, or hose clamp replacement. Its patented design incorporates a 1.5" inline ball valve with an integrated 1" lateral, making it an essential tool for modern wildland firefighting operations.

Features

• Speed: Reduces hoselay transition times by an average of 30–60 seconds per section
• Productivity: Enables installation of a 1,000-foot hoselay 2–4 minutes faster
• Manpower: Allows one firefighter to safely shut down a hoselay with a simple quarter-turn
• Deployment: Speeds hose deployment by approximately 30 seconds per section
• Advancement: Helps firefighters advance hoselays faster during initial attack

Design and Functionality

• Versatility: Functions as an inline tee, gated wye, and hose clamp replacement
• Integration: Incorporates a 1" lateral within a 1.5" inline ball valve design
