Float valves
Float valves to suit oil and gas, geothermal and waterwell work. Repair Kits are available to extend the life of the float valve.
All parts are interchangeable with Baker and Crestex. The range has ported and non-ported options, including models for high-temperature conditions.
F Plunger type valve
The Model F is a plunger-type float valve that allows constant fluid flow while drilling yet provides an instant shut-off if the flow is stopped or reversed. The piston seal stops backflow when breaking connections and keeps cuttings out of the drill string to help prevent clogged bits. In normal drilling operations, the Model F offers economy and durability.
FA Ported Plunger type valve
The Model FA offers all the standard features of the Model F with the added benefit of a ported plunger, a special port that allows fluid to pass through the center of the valve. This feature allows for automatic partial filling of the drill pipe during run-in and facilitates differential pressure reading at the surface.
G Full Flow Flapper type valve
The G flapper-type valve features an investment cast flapper that opens quickly, allowing for full flow through the valve. It is designed for highly abrasive drilling fluids.
GA Full Flow Ported Flapper type with carbide orifice
It is identical to the G flapper-type valve except for a carbide orifice that makes the flapper ported. The GA flapper allows for differential pressure readings at the surface.
GC Full Flow Flapper with automatic fill
It is identical to the G flapper-type valve but adds an automatic fill feature when going in the hole. The GC type helps prevent pressure surges that could cause formation breakdown.
GCA Full Flow Ported Flapper with auto-fill and carbide orifice
Identical to the GA flapper-type valve, GCA allows for differential pressure readings at the surface and adds an automatic fill feature when going in the hole. This prevents pressure surges that could cause formation breakdown.
Easy to install
Simply lubricate the side seal rubbers with Alco-EP 73 Plus and slide the float valve into the float bore of any tool prepared for a float valve.
