Introduction
FORUM is the original manufacturer of Baker Drill Pipe Float Valves. Committed to continuous
improvement and production of quality products for optimum performance and reliability, Forum Drill
Pipe Float Valves have become an industry standard with their superior engineering, quality, construction
and dependability in service.
FORUM manufactures a complete line of Float Valves, Repair Kits, and Puller Assemblies to
accommodate a wide range of drilling situations and operating conditions, including H2S and Steam
Service. These Drill Pipe Float Valves provide added blowout protection at the bottom of the drillstring,
prevent flowback when joints are added, and keep cuttings out of the drillpipe to prevent bit plugging
while making connections.
Note: It is recommended that if multiple Drill Pipe Float Valves are run in the same string, they be separated.
However the Model GS may be stacked.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
FORUM Drill Pipe Float Valves have been designed,
manufactured, tested, and validated in accordance with
accepted engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance
standards.

RATED OPERATING PRESSURE

Model F Drill Pipe Float Valves rated 7,500 WP.
Model G & GS Drill Pipe Float Valves rated 7,500 WP.

CAGES & GS
Cage construction of the various Models F and G includes
ductile iron, and there is an option for low alloy steel cage in
some Model F sizes. Hardness levels of these are at or below 22
Rockwell C to resist hydrogen sulfide stress cracking when used
for H2S applications. The Model GS cage is made from low alloy
steel. Stainless Steel available upon request.

SPRINGS
Models F and G utilize high alloy springs for all applications.

The Model FA offers all the standard features of the Model F Float Valve The Model FI also offers all the standard features of the Model F Float
with the added feature of a port which allows a fluid path through the Valve with the added feature of an integral baffle plate at the top of
center of the valve. This feature allows for an automatic partial filling of the float valve. For operations where a baffle plate is always used for

THE MODEL FI IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN SIZES
THE MODEL FA IS AVAILABLE IN ALL SIZES. 2F-3R, 3F, 4R, 5R AND 5F-6R.

Model FS & FAS // Float Valve

The Model FS and FAS offers many of the standard features of the non-
ported and ported Model F Float Valve. The Model FS/FAS was designed
for mud motor applications. This application requires a short length and
high fluid velocity. The FS and FSA Float Valve is only 6 inches long and has
carbonized surface treatment. The side seal is an O-Ring with back-up rings
which allows for a 7500psi pressure rating. See the chart on page 8 for
dimensional information.

Flappers for Model G/GA are made of normalized, carbonized, quenched, and tempered low alloy steel to resist wear and erosion. The flapper valve opens
fully during circulation providing an unrestricted bore through the valve thereby effectively prolonging the life of the valve and drill collar as there is no
diversion of fluid against the drill collar ID.

Model GB // Air Drilling Valve 1

Product Family No. 48017

The Model GB Air Drilling Valve is designed for air drilling only. It is identical
2
to the Model G except the spring has been removed and the beveled design
of the guide greatly reduces the danger of hanging up on the float valve
when retrieving tools below it.
3 4
SPECIAL INSTALLATION
The Drill Pipe Float Valve is installed near the top of the drillstring. Escaping
air is channeled under the flapper valve, forcing it closed, and preventing
loss of pressure.
5

Note: In order to lose as little air as possible from the drillstring when a joint is made
up, it is recommended that the float valve be moved up in the drillstring each time a
new bit is installed. Caution must be exercised, however, to keep, the valve at least 6
one joint below the kelly; otherwise, the valve could be blown out of the drillpipe by
trapped pressure when the kelly is removed.

Model GC // Automatic Fill Flapper Valve
Product Family No. 48019
10
The Model GC Automatic Fill Flapper Valve uses a low carbon steel
“automatic fill” key assembly that allows the pipe to fill from the bottom,
1 reducing run in time by eliminating the need to fill the string from the top.
When running in the hole, the automatic fill feature eliminates the “ram
2
effect” preventing the downhole pressure surges that can cause formation
3 damage. The valve can be run in either the closed position or the automatic
fill position. The fast acting flapper valve opens when the key is pulled out
4 of the hole reducing the possibility of pulling a wet string along with the
associated safety hazards. Mud spill-over on the rig floor is also eliminated.

These timesaving features allow the Model GC to quickly pay for itself.

Model GS & Gas Drill Pipe Float Valves

Product Family No. 48058 and 48059 (Model GS);
48056 and 48057 (Model GAS)

Forum now offers new designs in its Forum Drill Pipe Float Valve product
line. The Model GS and GAS Drill Pipe Float Valves offer optimum
performance and reliability for jobs that require high flow and erosion
resistance. Made of alloy steel tempered for H2S applications, the GS
and GAS feature a unique flapper relief to reduce flapper spring and
pin wear. The Model GS is provided with a non ported flapper and the
Model GAS has a ported flapper.

Model GS and GAS are available in four Drill Pipe Valve standard
configurations as noted in the table below. There are also three non
standard configurations; 3.38 x 2, 4F Short, and 4.8 x 2.94. The
nonstandard sizes offer maximized flow areas with a compact length for
drill motor applications. Model GS and GAS Mud Motor
Product Family Nos. 48058, 48056, 48057 and 48059

RECUTTING BODY OR BORING OUT DRILL COLLARS

Model F and G Drill Pipe Float Valves are identical in outside dimensions and use the same float sub or bored-out drill collar. Float
Subs are made in lengths from 14 in. to 30 in. depending on size and type, and designed for two recuts, two on either end or
one on each end.

Each time the tool joint box is recut, however, the shoulder of the lower end of the body bore must be cut back to maintain
when the body is recut. Bodies longer than the standard 3 ft. in length allow more recuts and can be furnished on special order.
