Ashland Water Group PFV075 Plastic Foot Check Valve

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP PFV075 is a 0.75-inch combination plastic foot and check valve designed to maintain prime in pump suction lines. Spring-loaded internals hold the valve closed when the pump is off, preventing backflow and loss of prime. The valve installs at the submerged inlet end of a suction pipe, making it a standard component in water transfer, irrigation, and dewatering pump systems. It is packaged individually and sold by the each. Licensed plumbers and pump system installers are the typical trade professionals who work with this type of valve.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial pump applications where maintaining suction-line prime is critical. Common installations include sump pump pits, irrigation pump intakes, shallow-well jet pump systems, and portable dewatering setups. The plastic construction makes it appropriate for fresh water service where corrosion resistance and lightweight handling are priorities. Its spring-loaded design ensures consistent check function across a range of flow conditions without requiring manual priming after each shutdown.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pump system technician. Shut off and lock out the pump before servicing the suction line. Ensure the valve is fully submerged at the intake end of the suction pipe and oriented so flow travels in the correct direction through the check mechanism.
