Use the following flow chart and technical specifications to determine the correct Foot Valve for your requirements. The valve in most cases can also be sized based on pipe diameter.

Foot Valve selection instructions

Step 1: Measure or calculate the capacity of your pump installation.

Step 2: Look at the chart for the valve(s) that cover the flow rate.

Step 3: For applications where the water contains sand or silt, choose the smallest valve that will be operating in the area shown by the thicker line.

Example: If your pumping capacity is 400 l/min use a FV032 Foot Valve
