The Dixon DFVS30 foot valve fits the intake end of a water suction hose to help keep a pump primed between pumping cycles. This 2-1/2-inch NPT valve uses a painted cast-iron construction and a screened intake.
Choose the foot valve by the suction connection and installation layout. It must stand vertically in the water supply; it is intended for water service and must not be used with compressed air or other compressible gases.
