What is it?

The Slip-On Chute is an accessory that attaches to dump valves to extend their reach, allowing for more precise and controlled fluid discharge. This is particularly useful in firefighting and industrial applications where managing the flow and direction of discharged fluids is critical.

Benefits

• Enhanced Fluid Control
  • The Slip-On Chutes provide precise control over fluid discharge, reducing splashing and ensuring that the fluid is directed exactly where needed. This is particularly beneficial in firefighting and industrial applications where managing fluid flow is critical 
• Extended Reach
  • By extending the discharge point by 24, 36, or 48 inches, these chutes allow for better positioning and control of fluid flow. This extended reach can be crucial in situations where the discharge needs to be directed away from the immediate area 
• Versatility
  • These chutes are designed to fit over existing Newton Kwik Dump Valves, making them a versatile addition to any fluid control system. They can be easily integrated into existing setups without requiring significant modifications
• Durability
  • Constructed from high-quality materials such as mild steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, these chutes are built to withstand harsh conditions and heavy use. The option for painted or unpainted finishes adds to their durability and resistance to corrosion
• Ease of Installation
  • The slip-on design ensures quick and easy installation, allowing operators to attach and detach the chutes as needed without requiring specialized tools or extensive training 
• Improved Safety
  • By providing better control over fluid discharge, these chutes help reduce the risk of accidents and injuries caused by uncontrolled fluid flow. This is especially important in emergency response and firefighting scenarios
• Cost-Effective Solution
• The ability to extend the reach of dump valves without needing to replace the entire valve system makes these chutes a cost-effective solution for improving fluid control 

How is it used?

The chute is simply slipped onto the end of a dump valve, extending the discharge point by 24, 36, or 48 inches, depending on the model. This extension helps direct the flow of fluid more accurately, reducing splashing and ensuring that the fluid is discharged exactly where needed.

Who uses it?

These chutes are primarily used by fire departments, industrial facilities, and emergency response teams. They are also suitable for any application that requires precise fluid discharge control.

Compatible Equipment

These chutes are designed to be used with Newton Kwik Dump Valves, making them a versatile addition to existing fluid control systems in firefighting apparatus and industrial setups.

Installation Instructions

Tools and Materials Needed

• Wrenches suitable for the dump valve connections
• Lubricant for couplings
• Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

• Preparation:
  • Ensure the area around the dump valve is clean and free of debris.
  • Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and safety glasses.
• Inspect the Chute:
  • Check the Slip-On Chute for any visible damage or defects.
  • Ensure the chute is clean and free of obstructions.
• Lubricate the Couplings:
  • Apply a suitable lubricant to the couplings on the dump valve and the Slip-On Chute to ensure smooth installation and removal.
• Attach the Chute:
  • Align the Slip-On Chute with the dump valve opening.
  • Slide the chute onto the dump valve until it is securely in place. The slip-on design should allow for easy attachment without the need for additional tools.
• Secure the Chute:
  • Ensure the chute is firmly attached and does not wobble or move. If necessary, use a wrench to tighten any connections, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
• Test the Installation:
  • Slowly open the dump valve to allow fluid to flow through the chute.
  • Check for any leaks or signs of instability. If leaks are detected, reapply lubricant and ensure the chute is properly aligned and secured.
  • Verify that the fluid is being discharged accurately and controlled through the chute.
• Final Inspection:
  • Conduct a final inspection to ensure all connections are secure and there are no leaks.
  • Confirm that the chute is functioning correctly and that the fluid flow can be controlled as required.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspections: Periodically check the chute and dump valve for wear and tear.
• Cleaning: Clean the chute after each use to prevent debris buildup.
• Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the couplings to maintain smooth operation.
• Storage: Store the chute in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
