 Foot Valves Information
• Sure-Flo foot valves combine an attachment coupling, a foot valve, and a strainer screen, all in
one rugged and long-lasting unit.
• Made entirely of aluminum except for the bolts, rubber gaskets, and valve flapper, these
valves are light in weight yet sturdy and efficient. The durable rubber flapper seats on a machined
aluminum surface and provides a tight seal which minimizes leakage.
• Ample space is provided for the flapper to fold back out of the liquid stream, thus keeping friction
loss to a minimum.
• Stainless steel hardware is available for all foot valves, and stainless steel screens are available for
most foot valves.

Body Type
OD Tubing: Compression gasket attachment for OD tubing, such as aluminum irrigation tubing.
Female Thread: For attachment to a NPT thread end, hose, steel pipe, or PVC.
Companion Flange: Matches the bolt pattern of a standard 125-pound cast iron companion
flange or a schedule 80 PVC flange.

Series
Basic Series: Our most popular valves, great combination of price and performance.
X-Series: Provides larger screen open areas than the basic series.
J and JD-Series: Provides much larger open areas and the greatest selection of screen options.
Horizontal Series: Excellent for shallow water applications, very large screen open areas.

Additional Options
Stainless steel bolts- Stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers are available upon
request for all Sure-Flo foot valves for an additional charge.

Foot valve drain kit- All Sure-Flo foot valves larger than 3" are provided with a tapped
and plugged outlet on the side of the body. By replacing this plug with the optional drain kit, suc-
tion line removal becomes much easier. One end of an inexpensive garden hose is attached to the
drain fitting, and the other end is capped, with the provided hose cap, and secured near the
pump. When ready to remove the suction line, simply
remove the cap, and place the hose in the water. This
will allow the suction line to drain down to the water
surface.

Klamplox flange-

Designed for Sure-Flo OD compression type foot valves and

fittings, Klamplox flanges provide an extra secure connection.
The flange is made as a two-piece unit, which clamps on the
tubing and prevents it from being pushed out of the fitting
under pressure. A separate aluminum gasket seal-ring assures
uniform pressure against the gasket to prevent leakage.

A flow-inducer sleeve is used to direct water past a
submersible pump motor when pumping conditions fail
to provide adequate cooling. Sure-Flo strainers easily

comes in each plug.

This rugged aluminum strainer quickly bolts on the end of 18"

an aluminum suction line. It will hold the weight of a man
standing on the screen, yet it weighs only 20 pounds.
Positioning the 284 1" holes in the 1/8" thick screen, is the SFLMS6 SFLMS6-D
secret to its ability to resist collapse. Available in a double-
decked model for extra open area. Made from aluminum
castings and a screen of high strength, corrosion resistant
alloy and stainless steel bolts and nuts. It is designed for
this demanding job.

Gravel Pack strainers are made with an inner screen of

1/8" perforated aluminum and an outer screen of 1/4"
perforated aluminum. The space between these screens
may be filled with pea gravel to provide a very effective fil-
ter for fine material in the water, including troublesome
algae.

 Fittings Pump Adapters
PIPE THREADS to TUBING. These fittings permit the use of Sure-
Flo suction fittings on any pump with threaded intakes from 2" to
10". Made from new standard pipe with heavy gauge steel tubing
Eccentric welded to it. The fitting is then hot dipped galvanized. Frequently
the suction line should be at least one size larger than the pump
inlet. When the tubing size is more than 1" greater than pipe size,
the fitting is eccentric. Eccentric adapters should be installed
straight side up, as pictured, to avoid air pockets from forming.

Couplers
For joining two pieces of irrigation tubing with an air tight suction
joint. This fitting is made from three aluminum castings and is
sealed by the compression of two rubber gaskets. Easily and quick-
ly tightened without damage to the tubing. Light in weight and free
from rust. Tubing must be supported on both sides of the coupler.

Klamplox
Designed for Sure-Flo OD compression type foot valves and fittings,
Klamplox flanges provide an extra secure connection. The flange is
made as a two piece unit which clamps on the tubing and prevents it
from being pushed out of the fitting under pressure. A separate alu-
minum gasket-seal-ring assures uniform pressure against the gasket
to prevent leakage. Not more than 10 foot pounds of torque should be
applied to the clamp bolts or flange bolts to prevent breakage of the
aluminum castings

 Fittings Gun Outlets
Universal Attachable Outlets
Available with 2½" riser pipe threads and for 4", 5", or 6" O.D.
pipe. Simply clamp on the pipe with Permatex under the top
half and then cut out the pipe with a hole saw.
Small "Guns" may be used on this sturdy outlet The base is
drilled for attaching a board for support of the sprinkler. If the
gun has a larger opening than 2½", this may be bushed down
to fit.

The usual procedure is to provide a number of outlets, each

with a gate valve, and then to move the gun or guns from
outlet to outlet along the line. This method saves much time
and labor and permits continuous operation of the pump, if
one extra gun is available.
5-48GO
May be attached to full lengths of pipe, thus, less expensive
than special short lengths with outlets.

For use with tall risers, as for corn, the riser may be supported
by a tripod attached to a support board under the outlet and
to a band around the pipe.

ing, welded into it, riveted, or pinned into place, depending on
the requirements. Also may be turned down to provide a loos-
er fit if required.
These castings permit the use of tubing for many special prod-
ucts such as water tanks, fishing rod cases, etc.

 Companion Flanges Fittings
Sure-Flo companion flanges are made with the same
dimensions and bolt holes as standard 125-pound cast iron
flanges used in the plumbing and pump trades.

They are not threaded, but are bored so that aluminum

irrigation pipe can be fitted into the opening and welded in
place.

These flanges permit the use of irrigation tubing in pipe

lines and in pump connections. They are useful in food
processing pipe lines and in industrial piping where low
weight is important.
