Description
A copper foot-operated valve is a specialized plumbing valve designed to be activated by foot pressure instead of using one’s hands. It is typically made of copper, a metal known for its corrosion resistance and durability. These valves are commonly used in situations where hands-free operation is essential to maintain hygiene, such as in healthcare facilities, laboratories, or industrial settings. When a person applies pressure to the foot pedal, the valve opens, allowing water or other fluids to flow through the system. Upon releasing foot pressure, the valve closes automatically, preventing further flow. Copper foot-operated valves are valued for their ability to reduce the risk of cross-contamination by eliminating the need for hands to come into contact with the valve, promoting a sanitary and safe environment.
