Frequently asked questions
- What does a foot valve do?
- The foot valve sits at the bottom end of the suction line and stops liquid from draining back into the container once the pump stops. The pump does not have to re-prime every time.
- What is the check valve for?
- It lets the medium flow in one direction only and prevents backflow into the dispensing line. It is fitted directly into the line with 1/2 NPT female and male threads.
- What are coding keys and the installation tool for?
- Colour and shape coding determines which coupler fits which container, preventing mix-ups between chemicals. The tool fits the coding keys, and the socket insert is used to install drum inserts.
- Which spring should I choose?
- Stainless steel is fine for most media. If the medium attacks stainless steel, as certain acids do, the version with a Hastelloy C spring is the more resistant option.
