Foot Controls

26When an operator has both hands busy (while cleaning tubes and pipes, for example) a foot control valve lets him control the water flow. NLB offers five models — dump-style and shut-off style — for applications from 10,000 to 40,000 psi (700 to 2,800 bar).Dump-style valves allow instantaneous dump to low pressure when the foot pedal is released, and include a muffler to minimize hydraulic shock. Shut-off valves minimize the water in the work area because the dump is inititated some distance away, by an unloader valve. NLB's 286 series foot control valves are designed for maximum operator protection and productivity. A patented pedal design (U.S. patent no. 5,636,789) lets you dump pressure immediately by simply pushing the pedal forward. These valves also have dual dump ports for superior stability in dump mode and are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials.One of the most popular features of these valves is a unique quick-change cartridge that you can replace in the field in less than 60 seconds. It is available in all four models, whose operating pressures range from 10,000 psi (700 bar) to 40,000 psi (2,800 bar). Please refer below for features and benefits, and to the tables on the facing page for key specifications.Foot ControlsADVANCED FEATURES FOR FIELD REPAIR AND OPERATOR PROTECTIONField repairable in under a minuteAll NLB dump-style foot controls are now field-repairable in less than 60 seconds, thanks to our exclusive quick-change cartridge valve. This cartridge valve, the same one used in our 286 series lances, simply screws in and out.Operators will also appreciate the extra protection of NLB's patented pedal design, which lets them force the valve into dump mode.Foot Pedal• Minimal pressure• Instant dump when releasedDual Dump PortsIncreased stability in “dump” modeEnclosureDoubles as handy carrying caseWetted PartsStainless steel for durabilityFC10-80027FC15-286FC-300FC24-286FC40-286Type Pressure Rating Max.
