Brass foot valves fit at the submerged intake of a pump suction line to retain water in the pipe when the pump stops. Their non-return action helps maintain pump prime, while the intake strainer limits the entry of larger debris. Threaded connections in 15mm-100mm sizes suit different pump suction installations.
The valve opens for water drawn into the pump and closes against reverse flow. A wide brass body provides space around the internal valve. Selection needs to account for the required pump flow, available suction conditions and the nominal thread size.
Keep the intake submerged and allow access to inspect and clean the strainer. Install with the flow direction towards the pump.
Female threaded connections; maximum pressure 1600kPa.
