Spears PVC Foot Valve, Screen Spigot End
The Spears PVC Foot Valve, Screen Spigot End is a PVC foot valve built with an integrated debris screen and a spigot-end connection for direct solvent-weld installation into PVC piping systems. This 1-1/2 trade size foot valve is designed to sit at the intake end of a suction line, allowing water to flow upward into the system while its internal check mechanism prevents backflow and loss of prime when the pump shuts off. The attached screen filters out sediment and debris before it can enter the suction line, helping protect pumps and downstream components. Constructed in PVC for corrosion and chemical resistance, this foot valve is supplied 5 each per package for convenient stocking and installation.
