Ashland Water Group PFV100 Plastic Foot Check Valve 1 Inch

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP PFV100 is a combination plastic foot and check valve designed to maintain prime in pump suction lines and prevent backflow when the pump shuts down. Spring-loaded internals keep the valve seated under low-pressure conditions, allowing flow in one direction only. At 1 inch in size, the PFV100 is a common fit for shallow-well jet pumps, sump pump intakes, and small irrigation or water transfer applications. Plumbers and pump service technicians typically install this valve at the bottom of the suction pipe or strainer assembly.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial water supply systems where a reliable foot valve is needed to hold prime and prevent backflow. Typical installations include jet pump suction legs in well systems, pond or tank intake lines, and low-pressure irrigation supply lines. The plastic body makes it appropriate for use with fresh water and compatible low-pressure fluid systems where metal corrosion could be a concern.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pump technician should install this valve at the base of the suction pipe, fully submerged in the water source. Shut off and lock out the pump before any service or replacement work. Follow IPC guidelines for pipe threading and joint sealing on plastic fittings to avoid over-torquing and cracking the valve body. Ensure the valve is oriented correctly for the intended flow direction before pressurizing the system.
