AAP Brass Foot Valve, 1/2"

This AAP brass foot valve has a brass body, an NBR gasket and a female threaded connection. It is supplied in 9 sizes from 1/2" (15mm) to 4" (100mm). A foot valve is a one-way valve fitted at the foot of a pump suction pipe. It holds liquid in the suction line when the pump stops, which helps keep the pump primed, and the strainer basket on the inlet keeps solids out. The AAP drawing shows a perforated strainer basket on the inlet end.

The maximum working temperature is 100°C and the cold working pressure is 965 kPa (9.65 bar), with a thread to AS 1722.1.
