What is a commercial foot valve

A commercial foot valve is a plumbing fixture designed for hands-free water control in foodservice environments. It typically features a foot-operated pedal to open and close water flow, incorporating internal check valves and mixing capabilities for safe and efficient water delivery. Installed directly onto water lines, foot valves like the Krowne 16-407L are common in commercial kitchens and wash stations, enabling hygienic operation and reducing cross-contamination. They support moderate throughput needs, are fabricated from durable materials such as stainless steel, and are intended for installation in countertops or wall-mounted setups to facilitate everyday kitchen workflows, particularly in high-usage settings requiring reliable, hands-free water access.
