Task Force Tips, Inc., 2800 East Evans Avenue, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383 ("TFT") warrants to the original purchaser of its Ball Intake
Valve ("equipment"), and to anyone to whom it is transferred, that the equipment shall be free from defects in material and workmanship
during the five (5) year period from the date of purchase.
TFT's obligation under this warranty is specifically limited to replacing or repairing the equipment (or its parts) which are shown by
TFT's examination to be in a defective condition attributable to TFT. To qualify for this limited warranty, the claimant must return the
equipment to TFT, at 2800 East Evans Avenue, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383, within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect.
TFT will examine the equipment. If TFT determines that there is a defect attributable to it, TFT will correct the problem within a
reasonable time. If the equipment is covered by this limited warranty, TFT will assume the expenses of repair.
If any defect attributable to TFT under this limited warranty cannot be reasonably cured by repair or replacement, TFT may elect to
refund the purchase price of the equipment, less reasonable depreciation, in complete discharge of its obligations under this limited
warranty. If TFT makes this election, claimant shall return the equipment to TFT free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.
This is a limited warranty. The original purchaser of the equipment, any person to whom it is transferred, and any person who is an
intended or unintended beneficiary of the equipment, shall not be entitled to recover from TFT any consequential or incidental
damages for injury to person and/or property resulting from any defective equipment manufactured or assembled by TFT. It is
agreed and understood that the price stated for the equipment is in part consideration for limiting TFT's liability. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.
TFT shall have no obligation under this limited warranty if the equipment is, or has been, misused or neglected (including failure to
provide reasonable maintenance) or if there have been accidents to the equipment or if it has been repaired or altered by someone else.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
THIS IS A LIMITED EXPRESS WARRANTY ONLY. TFT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE MADE BY TFT BEYOND THAT STATED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
11.0 WARRANTY
9.0 MAINTENANCE
This valve should be disconnected, cleaned and visually inspected inside and out at least once per month. Moving parts
such as hand wheels, valve ball/seat and couplings should be checked for smooth and free operation and greased as
needed. A silicone based grease such as Dow Corning 112 will exclude moisture and retard the effects of corrosion. Any
scrapes that expose bare aluminum should be cleaned and touched up with enamel paint such as Rust-Oleum. Replace
any missing or damaged parts before returning valve to service.
CAUTION
Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the
inability to unscrew the threads of complete loss of thread engagement over time. Per
NFPA 1962 (1998 edition), if dissimilar metals are left coupled together an anti-corrosive
lubricant should be applied to the threads. Also the coupling should be disconnected
and inspected at least quarterly.
CAUTION
Any alterations to the Ball Intake Valve and its markings could diminish safety and
constitutes a misuse of this product.
