Solid Brass Construction - Built from lead-free, corrosion-resistant brass for long-lasting durability in outdoor and wet environments. Ideal for use in well, jet, and irrigation pump applications Standard 1-1/4" NPT Thread - Compatible with most 1-1/4 inch female NPT fittings, ensuring easy and secure installation with common water systems Backflow Prevention - Internal spring-loaded mechanism allows water to flow in only one direction, preventing reverse flow and protecting pumps from damage Integrated Mesh Strainer - Features a rust-resistant stainless steel or brass mesh strainer with filtering holes to block debris, sand, and small particles from entering the pipe or pump Ready to Use - Pre-assembled valve can be installed directly into the suction line. For optimal performance, clean the strainer annually and avoid over-tightening during installation This 1-1/4" Brass Foot Valve is a heavy-duty check valve designed for use in suction-side pump applications such as jet pumps, irrigation systems, and shallow/deep well setups. It combines a one-way internal spring valve with an external mesh strainer to allow water intake while preventing debris and backflow. The lead-free brass body ensures superior strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both residential and commercial water systems. The female NPT threading ensures a snug, leak-free connection, and the built-in spring provides quick, automatic sealing to maintain system prime. The strainer holes around the base of the valve serve as the first line of defense against clogging, extending the life of your pump and improving water quality. Whether you're drawing water from a well, pond, or tank, this foot valve offers reliable performance and easy maintenance for your system.
