Drill Pipe Float Valve, Model F/FA

The Model F plunger-type valve provides positive, instantaneous shutoff against high and low pressure, assuring continuous control of fluid flow during drilling. This durable valve is the most economical choice for normal drilling operations and is recommended for use with downhole mud motors.

Model FA offers all standard features of the Model F float valve with the addition of a port that allows automatic partial filling of the drill pipe during run-in. This valve is used when monitoring the bit head for gas pressure and/or as pockets allowing measurement of differential pressure when required.
