Typical Foot Gun Hookup

These foot operated control valves (foot guns) are designed for smooth reliable operation. They are easily rebuilt in the field in 30 seconds by unscrewing the dump tube, which removes the used valve assembly. The operator then snaps a new cartridge style valve into the dump tube adapter and returns the whole assembly to the gun.

To prevent low pressure water from the flex lance nozzle spraying back towards the operator, when the foot gun is in dump mode, it is recommended that a Nozzle Shut-off Valve (Part # 60-010-050) is used between the foot gun and the flex lance. This will help to minimize cleanup at the end of the job and greatly assist the operator when inserting the lance into the next tube. (see diagram above)

Strain Relief Whip Hoses (Part # 43-004-003) are designed to relieve the forces on the flex lance end fitting, which extends the life of the lance, and reduces the risk to the operator associated with the end fitting failing prematurely.
