Boshart HAR5000 1/2" No-Lead Foot Valve
The Boshart HAR5000 is a 1/2" No-Lead (NL) foot valve designed for installation at the bottom of a suction line to hold prime on a pump system. As a rough-in component for well and pump suction piping, this foot valve is built to the 1/2" trade size and manufactured to No-Lead specification for use in potable water applications. Plumbers and pump installers rely on a foot valve of this type to keep the suction line filled with water between pump cycles, preventing the pump from losing prime and having to re-prime on every start.
