Ashland Water Group PFV125 Foot Check Valve 1.25 in

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP PFV125 is a 1.25-inch combination foot and check valve designed for pump suction line applications. This spring-loaded, plastic-bodied valve serves two functions: the foot valve keeps the suction line primed by preventing backflow when the pump shuts off, and the check valve function stops reverse flow during operation. It is installed at the inlet end of a suction pipe, typically submerged in a water source such as a well, sump, cistern, or irrigation reservoir. Plumbers and pump service technicians are the primary installers of this valve type.

The PFV125 is suited for residential and light commercial water supply, dewatering, and irrigation pump systems where a 1.25-inch suction line connection is required. Its plastic construction resists corrosion, making it appropriate for fresh water service. The spring-loaded mechanism ensures reliable seating even at low differential pressures, which helps maintain pump prime between cycles and reduces the risk of dry-run damage to the pump.

Key Features

• Combination foot and check valve in a single unit — simplifies suction line installation
• Spring-loaded disc provides positive seating and maintains pump prime
• Plastic construction offers corrosion resistance for fresh water applications
• 1.25-inch connection size fits standard suction pipe and fittings
• Boxed packaging with a package quantity of 6 units per case

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation foot check valve for 1.25-inch suction line pump systems in residential and light commercial fresh water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pump service technician. Shut off and lock out the pump before servicing any suction line components. The valve should be installed at the lowest point of the suction line, fully submerged, with the inlet strainer facing down to allow free water flow. Verify that all threaded connections are sealed with appropriate thread sealant rated for potable or non-potable water service as applicable.
