Use the following flow chart and technical specifications to determine the correct Foot Valve for your requirements

Foot Valve selection instructions

Firstly find your system flow across the bottom of the chart and then take a line vertically up the chart to the size valve with an acceptable head loss for your system. For dirty water applications choose the smallest valve that will be operating in the area shown by the thicker line with an acceptable head loss.

Example: if your pumping capacity is 400lpm a FV40 head loss will be 2.8m and a FV32 head loss will be 3.3m

Hansen have tested all its products for use with cold water up to a maximum temperature of 60°C (140°F). We do not recommend the use of these products with temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) as plastic expands due to temperature increases. Hansen cannot guarantee the products will perform when used with temperatures over 60°C (140°F). Hansen products that have failed in temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) will not be covered by warranty.
