43. What is foot valve?

Valve used to maintain a head of water on the suction side of sump pump, basically a lift check valve with
integrated strainer.

44. What is float valve?

Used to control liquid level in tanks, operated by float, which rises with liquid level and opens the valve to
control water level. It can also remove air from system, in which case, air flows out of system in valve open
condition, but when water reaches valve, float inside valve raises to close the valve and stop flow of water.
Used in drip legs.

47. What are the uses of three-way valve?

Alternate connection of the two supply lines to a common delivery vise versa, isolating one safety valve,
division of flow with isolation facility.

48. What are uses of four way valve?

Reversal of pump suction and delivery, By pass of strainer or meter, reversal of flow through filter, heat
exchanger or dryer.

49. What is metal seated lubricated plug valve?

A plug valve with no plastic material, where grease is applied to contacting surfaces for easy operation.

50. What are three patterns of plug valve design?
